[vpn-help] Netgear FVS318

     Thank you Alexis. I went through the VPN Wizard again and followed the steps at the link you provided. I then 
rebooted my router to make sure it was starting with the proper configuration. Now it appears that my router is no 
longer flagging the ISAKMP packets as suspicious and tossing them (which is good). In fact it looks like my router 
is actually trying to process the packets now. But it is having trouble with what it is seeing, based on its own 
internal logs (below)...and a response is not being sent back to the Shrew client.

     My question now is, according to the link you provided, I was to set the Identifier information fields to 
fvs_remote.com and fvs_local.com. Are these just examples or are they the actual values to be used? Should these 
not resolve to real addresses? As can be seen below the FQDN of fvs_remote.com is being sent by the Shrew client in 
the ISAKMP packet. The Netgear then complains about not having a connection. Is this because this address does not 
resolve?

     By the way, the Shrew client is on a network behind a router so is NAT.

     Anyway, below is the log from my Netgear. On the Shrew side I only see the ISAKMP packets being sent out every 
5 seconds without any response coming back.

     Thanks for any help you can provide.
