[VPN] VPN and broadband.

I don't think that's 100% true yet.. Comcast WAS talking about it - but I
don't believe anyone has done the deed yet.

The best pay around any ISP lock, UDP encapsulate your VPN :) they won't
know that your UDP port 40xxx is carrying IPSec :)

My best guess is this: many companies are now filtering out IPSEC ports 50,
51 and 500 to keep VPN off their networks, unless you pay a premium. Comcast
is one of the culprits, which has a major impact to many customers. Standard
cable internet service is $30 a month, their pro service which does nothing
more but pass these ports and allow you to host if you are so inclined.

The moral to this story, if there is one, is that connection services are no
longer going to offer the free ride that the 'Net is famous for. Time to
change the business model, again.

	Hello,

	Mostly I just read the list and try to digest the information, but
currently I've
	run into a situation where I could use some help. We have one user
that has
	never been able to access the VPN using his Bresnan broadband
account.
	I have several users that utilize the same service and have never
run into any
	problems. I suspect it is something physical at his home, whether it
is cabling
	or something similar. This is coming from a stance of very limited
knowledge
	about his set up. We did look at the laptop and we were able to get
VPN'd in
	using dial up ISP. We are using Cisco client on XP laptops and this
is the
	only PC that has had any problems. Possibly a network config
problem? Any
	idea where I should go next? Just troubleshooting here so any ideas
would
	be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

	John E. Galeotos
