     Hi Alexis. Thanks again for your help.

     Well I noticed that there was a mismatch in the Key Group so I changed my Netgear to use DH Group 2 as this is 
what the Shrew client was using for DH exchange. I also explicitly specified 3DES as the cipher algorithm on the 
client side rather than auto because I was seeing a lot of trying the different options on the Netgear side until 
it settled on 3DES anyway.

     So now things are looking like they are getting further along (see Netgear log below). It looks though like 
the Netgear is trying to send back a response (the TX >> AM_R1 line) but I am not seeing it at the client side. Is 
there something else I should be doing as the client is behind a NAT router? Should the communications from the 
client not be over TCP rather than UDP to make this work?

     Again thanks for all your help.
