Well today I upgraded to firmware version 1.6 and I still had the issue. BUt just for kicks I decided to reconfigure the Airport station from my mac server and this time it stated that VPN can interfere with the Back to My Mac option on the device.

Believe it or not, that was the issue!!!!!

Remove your .me account from the back to my mac preference of the router and then

I removed the special character and can connect right away from iPad using 7.5.2 on the TC firmware.

I can confirm that this method doesn't work on 7.5.2. I have three TC's at the various offices. Only one VPN is working - 7.4.2

It worked for me with 7.5.2, verified with tcpdump. I have full connectivity through my TC (version 3) with the above settings.

I've not been able to downgrade to 7.4.2, due to not having a 7.4.2 image about - 7.5 was the oldest I had. I'm not even sure 7.4.2 is compatible with the latest TC's that just came out...

Negative dom, that still does not work if you have firmware 7.5.2 installed.

I had this issue, but this fixed it for me on 7.5.2:

- Create 3 NAT rules, one for each port (500, 1701, 4500)
- Forward both TCP and UDP for each one

It seems like the rule automatically applied by the lion server admin tool, though it appears totally correct (UDP only, everything in one rule) was not forwarding packets - I confirmed this with tcpdump on the server

I'm suffering the same problems not being able to use Lion Server VPN on firmware 7.5.2.

Does anyone have a link to 7.4.2? Where can I get it to downgrade since it's not an option in my Airport Utilitiy?

Problem solved! Thank you so much for the troubles...

I am having trouble locating 7.4.2. Apple no longer has it on their site, it now just takes you to an article. Any ideas where I might find it?

You are an absolute life saver my friend, i've been banging my head against the desk for hours trying to figure this crap out. Your fix was perfect and everything is working fine now. Thank you so much. You really would think apple would be on top of the ball but i guess not.
