Error 800: Unable to establish VPN connection

This issue may be caused by a router that has outdated firmware.

Make sure that port 1723 is opened on your router.
For VPN connection , you can try opening port 500, 443-447, 10000-20000 and important port 1723 on your router.

I will suggest you to upgrade firmware on your Linksys router.
After upgrading the firmware, reset the router to factory default and reconfigure it manually.
Open the ports mentioned above and see if that works.

See How to upgrade firmware on Linksys router.

hi

go to folowing link you will have your solution for Linksys router and setups

http://www.homeserverland.com/wiki/w/whs/linksys-wrt120n-router.aspx

whether the switches are manageable, if so they need to be configured......

If that is the case you may forward ports on the router for VPN connection, try to open 47, 500 and 1723 all TCP and UDP protocol.

Here's what you need to do, check the IP address of the computer where you have the VPN software,

here's how:
click start> run> type cmd> hit okay
on the black screen put in ipconfig and check the IP address there,

> when you get the IP address then we can enable port forwarding on the router

> open IE on the working computer on the address bar, type 192.168.1.1

> nothing for username and password is admin in lower case

> then click on the applications and gaming tab on the router,

> and from there, example of how to field that in is like this,

> for aaplication name - VPN1
> for port it is 47 to 47
> for protocol it is BOTH
> for IP address ex. 192.168.1.XX - 192.168.1.100
> then check enable, do the same thing for the rest of the port.
> save the settings and try it again after.

> if it is still nothing, you may connect the computer that has the VPN connection directly to the modem and check if you will be able to connect via VPN

i'll wait for your response, thank you and have a nice day!

This person seemed to have no problems with it and includes configurations.

I would also make sure both are the same version or same firmware, I have had trouble in the past with netgears having different firmware not allowing a vpn to be configured.

you have forgotten your LinkSys router password, the easiest thing to do is to reset your router to the factory default settings.
To restore the router configuration to factory defaults, hold the reset button on the unit for 30 seconds.
Once your router is hard reset, you will need to login and reconfigure it again.
To reconfigure your LinkSys, connect a PC to one of it's Ethernet ports, load a web browser, and go to the URL http://192.168.1.1/. This will take you to a popup box which asks you to enter a username and password to login to your router Password: Admin
On older LinkSys routers, the default username is blank and the default password is "admin." On newer Linksys routers, both the default username and the default password are set to "admin."
Once you are past the login screen, you are able to reconfigure the LinkSys router

What are the settings that you have for your netgear router? Its going to tunnel, right? Try this solutions and see it will work.

1. Access the set-up page of the router, from a browser, type 192.168.1.1
2. Go to VPN tab and select IP SEC VPN
3. Local Security Group, set it to subnet and input the Network Address of the router (LAN IP - 192.168.1.0)
4. Remote Security Group, set it to subnet and input the Network Address of the netgear router (LAN IP, for example - 192.168.2.0)
5. Remote Secure Group, set it to IP only, WAN IP address of the netgear router
6. For Key Managemnt, just make sure that all settings are identical with the netgear router
7. Last go to Advanced Settings and make sure that group settings are identical to the netgear router

Hope it works for you
