   I'm working to set up a VPN between sites using RV042 at each end.  I've set   
   up a "lab" that emulates a simple version of the intended setup as follows:   
      
   Site 1 / LAN1:               Site 2 / LAN2:   
   192.168.1.192                192.168.1.128   
   255.255.255.192              255.255.255.224   
   i.e. .193-.254               i.e. .129-.158   
      
   LAN 1 host 1:                LAN 2 host 2:   
   192.168.1.213                192.168.1.137   
   gateway: 192.168.1.198       gateway: 192.168.1.157   
      
   RV042#1                      RV042#2   
   LAN                          LAN   
   192.168.1.198                192.168.1.157   
   255.255.255.192              255.255.255.224   
   WAN1                         WAN1   
   223.111.2.009                223.111.2.008   
   255.255.255.248              255.255.255.248   
                   - internet-   
               (emulated by a hub)   
   So, there is one computer on each LAN that points to the RV042 LAN interface   
   as its gateway.   
   The RV042s connect directly using the WAN1 ports using their assigned public   
   internet addresses through a hub.   
   That's about as simple as one could make it.   
      
   There are complementary tunnels set up in each of the RV042s that identify   
   both LAN ranges and both public IP addresses of the RV042s.   
      
   The VPN tunnel doesn't "connect" even under these simple circumstances.   
   So, I'm looking for typical RV042 setups that *do* work as I must have done   
   something wrong.  I just can't figure out what it might be!  Is there   
   anything obviously wrong above?   
      
   The LAN IP ranges are different so that traffic on one LAN can be routed to   
   the other LAN through the VPN when the time comes.  In the mean time, I just   
   need to make the VPN work.   
      
   Any suggestions or pointers to URLs appreciated.
