[vpn-help] Netgear FVG318

Tue Jun 1 06:14:34 CDT 2010

Hi Tilman,
I apologize. When I replied to your post I thought the (FV"G"318) was a typo and that you were indeed working with the same router as me (FV"S"318G). I was wrong. So my advice does not correlate to your problem.
and...I see what you mean. I went to http://tools.netgear.com/landing/gui/security/fvg318/simulators/FVG3181_0_33/index.htm and stepped through the simulator for your router's setup and you're right...There's no xauth or mode config options for that router.  In that case I do not know if mode config or xauth is necessary for it to work with Shrew. Perhaps someone else in the community can give better advice?

Otherwise, you're left with either finding someone else's posted instructions or trial and error. 
I'm interested to know if and how you solve the issue.

Best Regards,
Mike

Mike, thank you for taking the time to reply. I assume the Netgear FVG318 is the 
heap brother of the FVS318. The FVG318 does neither support mode config nor 
auth. The admin settings of the FVG318 don't show these options.
Is it possible to use the shrew client with a VPN gateway that doesn't have mode 
onfig and xauth?

Did you ever get a reply?
ou MUST use mode config with the shrew client and FVS318. I just set one up 
his past week.
ake sure that the mode config IP address that's assigned is not the same subnet 
s the VPN router's internal LAN address.
or example, if you use 192.168.1.1 as the VPN LAN gateway address, then make 
ure your assigned IP addresses by mode-config are something like 192.168.2.x
You must also use XAUTH. Setting it up was very straightforward. Sorry I can't 
ecall the steps at the moment but I did read about it in the howto section of 
he the shrew.net website.
Hope this helps!

hank you very much for providing this VPN client!

I have a Netgear FVG318. I hope I have done my homework .. I searched the list 
archive, there was only one unanswered email about this device.

Has some successfully connected to this Netgear gateway? The HowToNetgear 
article http://www.shrew.net/support/wiki/HowtoNetgear is for other Netgear VPN 
Gateways that support Mode Config. The FVG318 does not have a Mode Config 
option.

Trying to connect to this gateway the device is logging as final error:
Invalid exchange type 6

Google-researching it seems that this message has to do with Mode Config. I 
found this email from 2006, mentioning how to make sure not to use any Mode 
Config features with the Shrew Client:
http://lists.shrew.net/pipermail/vpn-help/2006-October/000610.html

I tried disabling all these, but am still getting the same error message on the 
gateway.

Any advice on how (and if it is possible at all) to connect to the FVG318 would 
be appreciated!

Thanks,
Tilman
