    This is likely caused by the hotel blocking IPsec traffic, which a number of
    them do. It's a crap shoot as to which ones block it and I don't believe
    there is an easy workaround with Sonicwall. You will probably need to
    consider deploying another VPN client product that allows for alternate
    protocol VPN traffic.

    Jim,

    This is a hotel issue. If it works in some and not in others, it means in
    this case that the source is the problem. Unless you have round robin VPN
    IP addresses and your users do not know what the IPs are? Which I highly
    doubt and why would you want to do this?

    Subject: VPN Question

    Good afternoon all,

    This posting is a little off track, but I'm hoping someone can help me
    anyway.

    I have a SonicWall Pro230 and I'm trying to do VPN with it. My users
    connect from some locations and not others. Example: They could connect
    from the Airport in Cincinnati, but not the airport in Las Vegas. Seems
    they can't connect in many (if any hotels). In speaking with SonicWall
    they said this is a known issue when connecting through a firewall on the
    hotel side.

    I know I'm not the first company to try this, and was wondering how others
    get by this issue? Or is this an inherent SonicWall issue.

    Most of my users are traveling Sales people, and will go all around the
    US, and Japan.

    Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Jim Brezicky
