Vodafone Sure Signal - anyone managed to get this to work?

Wed Jun 23, 2010 6:53 pm

Hi there,
I've got a Vodafone sure signal to connect up to my network I've put in all the port forwarding but it still doesn't seem to be working. I've pasted the extract from vodafone's webpage regarding this:
All traffic between the Sure Signal and the Vodafone network, with the exception of the DNS and synchronisation traffic described below, is carried within a VPN tunnel. The VPN is established by the Sure Signal on initial setup and is successfully created if the @ LED on the Sure Signal housing is lit - the LED flashes during VPN setup.

The following firewall rules will be required as a minimum to allow the VPN to be established between the Sure Signal and the Vodafone network. These rules assume a stateful firewall, otherwise connections will be required in both directions. 
Some standard DSL routers may need changes to built in firewalls.
Enterprise or more complicated domestic IP setups may need wider changes which will depend on their environment and is not within the scope of Vodafone support.

I have the rule:
chain=srcnat action=masquerade src-address=192.168.0.0/32 out-interface=eth1

Already in place - but it doesn't seem to pass with that.

Not yet. I'll try and get that done today - I didn't have much time yesterday to play with the unit.
