OK,

just for the fun of it, here goes....

NS5 connected to Comcast router as tunnel server loaded and enabled

node sees internet and has a lan address xx.xx.xx.20. port forwarded 5525 on Comcast router to this address.

attached laptops can access both the node and the internet.

Linksys GS V2 loaded with 3.01 connected to the Comcast router and tunnel client enabled

node sees internet and has a lan address of xx.xx.xx.40.

attached laptop can access both node and internet

both nodes list default gateway as xx.xx.xx.1

I can ping the dyndns address used to connect the two nodes. have checked rererecheck ip address and password for tunnel setup.

issued vtun_up tun0 up on the Linksys gsv2 got the expected response.

there are 5 other local 2.4 GHz nodes seen by the Linksys node.

the ns5 see the other 5GHz node in the mix

not sure how to test further, any suggestions are appreciated.

I have the connection working...

I changed to client setup to point to the lan ip addrees of the server. the connection was made.

I changed the  srtup back to the dyndns setup and things still seem to be working... go figure

FYI... a "wierd" workaround for the vtun_up command not executing on Linksys...

in /etc/hotplug.d/net/13-vtun

change this:

....

# Handles setting up rules for tunnel interfaces               
#echo "Interface is $INTERFACE $ACTION" >> /tmp/vtundscript.log
ISVPN=false

...

TO THIS

...

# Handles setting up rules for tunnel interfaces               
#echo "Interface is $INTERFACE $ACTION" >> /tmp/vtundscript.log
echo "BUG WORKAROUND IN HOTPLUG.  DO NOT REMOVE THIS LINE" >> /dev/null
ISVPN=false
