   VPN Connects from some sites but not oth

   Hello:   
      
   I have a netgear FVS124G and a LinkSys RVS4000.  I have setup each of   
   these routers at two remote sites and configured them for access   
   through the approprate VPN client.  I can take computers loaded with   
   the VPN clients to sites around my region and have no problem   
   connecting to the remote sites and accessing the remote network   
   computers.  The client configurations are not dependent on the IP   
   address I am behind.   
      
   I have two offices using the same configuration files I am using. They   
   can connect to the remote sites but are unable to access the remote   
   computers. Ping, Remote Desktop, etc. work for me but not for them.   
   One site is in Chicago and the other is in Newark.  All computers   
   involved are running XP-Pro.  All sites are using different internal   
   subnets so that is not the problem.   
      
   The Chicago site can connect to the sites but was only able to access   
   the remote computers for a brief time.  This was before we replaced   
   the old cable modem with a cable router and assigned a static IP. It   
   can no longer access the remote computers.  It has never been able to   
   connect to the netgear site.   
      
   The Newark site can connect to the sites but has never been able to   
   access the remote computers.  It is behind a Netgear FVS318 router.   
      
   My sites are always able to connect and access the remote computers   
   although some computers have a problem accessing a few of the remote   
   computers at the Linksys site.  All remote computers can be accessed   
   at the netgear site.   
      
   Linksys tech support is always able to connect and access the remote   
   computers at the linksys site.   
      
   I have contacted netgear to run a similar test at the netgear site.   
      
   Any idea why the Chicago and Newark sites can connect the VPN but not   
   access the remote computers?   
      
   Thanks.
