   I agree.  I don't even know what port 47 is for.  Never heard of it until I   
   saw it on the Linksys web site.   
      
   However, when you say your vpn doesn't work over the LAN seems wierd to me,   
   because there is nothing that should make it not work.  Not that you'd ever   
   use it, because all ports all generally open over the LAN anyway.  I just   
   use it to check to make sure the server is capable of a client connecting to   
   it.  This tells me it is something to do with the ability of the request to   
   come through the router.  I've lost faith that this router is going to   
   suffice me for both scenarios.  I'm beginning to think that I have to choose   
   between IPSec and PPTP, because this router doesn't seem to do both, at   
   least not at once.   
      
   Thanks for your suggestions.  Please reply and or email me direct and let me   
   know if there is anything else you'd suggest.
