How know VPN is working?
----------
How do I know when the VPN is up and running and I can connect to the other side? I have a symantec firewall/vpn on this side (LAN) and a linksys vpn router on the other side (LAN). I am very confused by this setup, and I am not sure if I am doing it right. What will I see if I am sucessful and how will I be able to access their LAN? Thanks.

You may want to try this
----------
Hi! You will be able to know if you are connected to the tunnel if you view the status page of the router and it says that you are connected. But since you are on the other side of the tunnel where you are using a Client software, you should have gotten a message that you are connected after setting this up. With regards to accessing a remote drive or location, you may want to try this: Go to Start-Run. Then on the Open field type // then the IP address of the computer you are trying to access. Make sure this IP is included in your remote secure gateway.
