Do you know if you are connecting PPTP or IPVSEC?

There are 3rd party VPN clients that should work with it.

This seems a little different than your standard Cisco IPSec VPN.

Here's a good link on how to set it up. I guess they are designed so all you have to do is add a userID and the rest is auto.

Here's a link on troubleshooting it.

Unable to connect to the RV042 using Quick VPN software* [Cisco Small Business Routers] - Cisco Systems

It seems like the router will automatically change it's "inside" subnet to some random 10.x.x.x/24 subnet. The theory being that if you're out at a hotel or hotspot somewhere, you are probably going to be on the standard 192.168.1.x subnet that is often default.

With a normal IPSec VPN, you've got TCP, UDP and NAT traversal options that give you several options for vpn to get out of various networks with various security. I'm not sure if the quickVPN is an SSL type or an IPSec type vpn. Either way, I'm not sure if it's got multiple ports that it'll try.

You should make sure that your home network is NOT 192.168.1.x.

I'll help if I can.
