OT, but you do know the Netgear you have supports native IPSEC VPN,

you're using the latest firmware on the NetGear and give it a go.

OK - open inbound TCP ports 47 and 1723 for PPTP.

J Feely said:I think I know where Alex is going with his question.
What he is looking for is how to use the XP and 2000 VPN capabilities that
are already built in to the OS. He is not looking to use an external VPN
client software program like Safenet that Netgear has suggested. All of
Netgears documentations show how to use a VPN client that costs more than
it
is worth. Windows should already have the function built in for FREE.
What settings need to be performend on Win to have it act like a client
and
attach to a VPN tunnel on the FVS318?? I've tried this myself for over a
year now sice I purchased the unit when it was first launched. So far, I
have never been sucessful. I have even tried Nortel's software which my
company used with no sucess.
Any ideas how to get the Win OS to function as a client would be very
helpful.

Alex Kalemkeris said:So I broke down and decided to pay for Netgear's support and got my
answer. Fortunatley for me, they agreed to not charge me because I found
you cannot do it. The build in windows client will work if you have a
static IP and you are not behind a NAT. If your behind a NAT and/or with
a dynamic IP you need to use their SW solution. Since my company uses the
Intel Netstructure client right now, I asked if I could use that in its
place (since you can only use one VPN client at a time). He said he
didn't know, but was willing to work with me on it. Since I didn't have
the time when I was talking to him, nor the ability to test, I optted for
the no charge answer.
So does anyone know if the Prosafe VPN client plays well with another VPN
client software installed? I tried Safenet's which disabled all my
network capability and was a pain the xxx to uninstall. They didn't play
well together.

What he is looking for is how to use the XP and 2000 VPN capabilities
that
are already built in to the OS. He is not looking to use an external
VPN
client software program like Safenet that Netgear has suggested. All of
Netgears documentations show how to use a VPN client that costs more
than it
is worth. Windows should already have the function built in for FREE.
What settings need to be performend on Win to have it act like a client
and
attach to a VPN tunnel on the FVS318?? I've tried this myself for over
a
year now sice I purchased the unit when it was first launched. So far,
I
have never been sucessful. I have even tried Nortel's software which my
company used with no sucess.
Any ideas how to get the Win OS to function as a client would be very
helpful.

How does that help me configure my Win2K and XP as a client?
Sorry, you didn't seem to be asking "how do I set up a PPTP
client" - I misunderstood. You can just use the wizard to make a
new connection in your clients' network applets - choose VPN.
What
configuration should I use for the netgear?
You mean in the client? You just specify whatever your public IP
address is on that network, once you've opened up the ports I
mentioned in the firewall.

Make
sure you're using the latest firmware on the NetGear and give
it a go.
If you don't want to go that route, you'll need to open the
requisite ports
in your firewall: see

Jeffery knows the scoop on Microsoft VPN clients talking to Microsoft
servers through NATs--I believe it is XP SP2, or many older versions with
the downloadable VPN client software (www.microsoft.com/vpn) talking to
Windows Server 2003.
Definitely more information at the above link.
Not helpful in terms of the Netgear host, but just to mention that this is
an issue all VPN vendors are working hard on.
And, of course, talking about IPSEC vpns not PPTP, which does work fine
outbound through the average NAT.
Alex Kalemkeris said:So I broke down and decided to pay for Netgear's support and got my
answer. Fortunatley for me, they agreed to not charge me because I found
you cannot do it. The build in windows client will work if you have a
static IP and you are not behind a NAT. If your behind a NAT and/or with
a dynamic IP you need to use their SW solution. Since my company uses the
Intel Netstructure client right now, I asked if I could use that in its
place (since you can only use one VPN client at a time). He said he
didn't know, but was willing to work with me on it. Since I didn't have
the time when I was talking to him, nor the ability to test, I optted for
the no charge answer.
So does anyone know if the Prosafe VPN client plays well with another VPN
client software installed? I tried Safenet's which disabled all my
network capability and was a pain the xxx to uninstall. They didn't play
well together.
Bill Sanderson said:You need, of course, to be talking to a Netgear support forum.
I've skimmed through this thread
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10053432~mode=flat
without being clear whether anybody in it has accomplished what you
wanted--it doesn't sound easy--everybody says go with Netgears
proprietary client.
I think I know where Alex is going with his question.
