<div>Like you, I know litte about VPNs but I managed to get a Netgear FVS318G set up and working with Shrew.</div>
<div>What does your network topography look like? If there's nothing in the VPN logs, then I call to question if your packets are even getting there...</div>
<div>As a quick test, you can also configure your client PC into the local router's DMZ and try again. If you get further along (i.e. VPN log entries on the FVS), then that may indicate the gateway/router you're using to connecting to the internet might not be configured for VPN passthrough or port forwarding/triggering for ports 500 and 4500 might need some consideration. </div>

<div class=MsoNormal>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.</div>
<div class=MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=MsoNormal>The local Shrew Client tries to contact the VPN gateway, and it looks like there is on response after the initial handshakes:</div>
