What sort of firewall is sitting in between? If an ASA, have you tried
enabling HTTP or TCP inspection on 8080?

Firewall is in multiple context and tcp traffic is permitted from OUTSIDE to
inside

on inside I have PC and on outside i have VPN-Concentrator

nothing is there on the firewall as I can access VPN-Conc on different ports

really very strange I am still trying to figure it out what

Any help will be appreciated

  I'd check your firewall first. Is it doing anything to manipulate the
  traffic flow?

  Dear All,

  I am getting strange problem in VPN Concentrator.

  Following are the Tasks
  1. Allow administaration of VPN concentrator on PUBLIC interface.
  2. Disable http to https redirection ( By default HTTP to https redirection
  is there on Public interface)
  3.The administration should be port *8080.*

  Now I have done above tasks more then 10 times and every thing worked fine
  for me. My PC from where I want to access VPN concentrator and VPN
  concentrator were in same vlan and every thing worked fine.

  Just now I put some routers and firewall b/w VPN concentrator and PC for
  testing purpose and tried to access VPN conentrator on port
  *8080*GUI(graphical user interface). I can see the login page of VPN
  concentrator
  but when I enterted username and password. I can NOT login to it. BUT if I
  change the port to any port other then 8080 it works and I have no issues
  to access it.

  My question is that why I am able to access VPN concentrator on port 8080
  when my PC and VPN-C is in same subnet (vlan) and WHY I CAN NOT ACCESS
  VPN-CON ON PORT *8080* when in b/w I have routers and firewalls.

  Any Ideas.

  Thanlks
