[vpn-help] Shrew Cleint with Netgear FVX538

[Nathan Morrow]

So I am pretty knowledgable when it comes to networking, dhcp, dns, etc, etc.  But not VPNs.  I followed the procedure for Netgear VPNs to the T (except for IPs and encryption algorithm) and I don't believe I am getting anywhere fast.

The local Shrew Client tries to contact the VPN gateway, and it looks like there is on response after the initial handshakes:
10/07/30 15:31:32 >= : message 00000000
10/07/30 15:31:37 -> : resend 1 phase1 packet(s) 192.168.1.2:500 -> GATEWAYIPWUZHERE:500
10/07/30 15:31:42 -> : resend 1 phase1 packet(s) 192.168.1.2:500 -> GATEWAYIPWUZHERE:500
10/07/30 15:31:47 -> : resend 1 phase1 packet(s) 192.168.1.2:500 -> GATEWAYIPWUZHERE:500
10/07/30 15:31:52 ii : resend limit exceeded for phase1 exchange
10/07/30 15:31:52 ii : phase1 removal before expire time

On the VPN side (Netgear FVX538):
Nothing in the VPN log.  I'm lost.

A good next step to try would be appreciated.
