WRV200 Firmware 1.0.26 Release Note

12/22/2006

Enhancements:

1. Enhanced the security of QuickVPN by supporting self-generated certificate on the router. Several functions (buttons) were added to the Certificate Management section on the VPN Client Access page. Administrator can generate new certificate, export certificate for admin backup, export certificate for QuickVPN clients, and import certificate for admin. The router's certificate needs to be delivered to all QuickVPN users and placed in the install directory of QuickVPN Client, e.g. C:\Program Files\Linksys\Linksys VPN Client\. This way the QuickVPN client will only trust these certificates placed in its local directory and will not be deceived by a hacker in the middle to connect to a hostile computer. With QuickVPN Client v1.0.47, when the client encounters a certificate that is not trusted, the client will pop up an warning message, suggesting the user quit the connection attempt. The export and import functions can be used when the admin wants to reset the router to factory default, but does not want to re-distribute the certificate to all of the QuickVPN users.

2. Added the support for SNMP MIB-II.
3. Added an optional Service Name field in the PPPoE WAN configuration.
4. Merged the Advanced Key Management pop-up into the IPSec VPN page.

Issues Fixed:

1. Removed the checkbox for enabling "SNMP Through IPSec Tunnel" and made the feature always enabled.
2. Fixed the issue that the Web UI will crash after 30~40 minutes, if Syslog is enabled and the WAN connection is up.
3. Fixed the issue with showing incorrect Current Time in the Status->Router page. 

Known Issues:
1. IPSec tunnels do not pass NetBIOS broadcast packets. This may create a problem when users want to search computers by names or to browse the network neighborhood on Windows Explorer. Users can use a LMHOSTS file to work around this issue. More information can be found at
