In all likelihood, the laptop would no be directly connected to the
internet. I would be at the mercy of whomever was providing a hot
spot.<br><br>
Is there no way to get that to work?<br><br>

You laptop is directly connected to Internet ? (no NAT). Because the
NETGEAR DG834 support only the MAIN Mode... (and the VPN is
buggy...)<br><br>

<dd>Can anyone provide a cookbook for setting the Netgear VPN settings
and ShrewSoft VPN client that would enable the two to connect? I've
been tearing my hair trying all sorts of combinations, but can't get
anything to work. The VPN trace on the Win 7 laptop shows three
attempts to send phase1 packets before it hits "resend limit
exceeded for phase1 exchange" and aborts.<br><br>

<dd>Netgear policy page looks like this right now:<br><br>
<dd>Remote VPN Endpoint: Dynamic IP address<br>
<dd>Local LAN: IP address is set to my local subnet<br>
<dd>Remote LAN: IP address is set to "Single PC - no
subnet"<br>
<dd>IKE direction: responder only (only choice allowed)<br>
<dd>Exchange mode: Main mode (only choice allowed)<br>
<dd>DH group: auto<br>
<dd>Local ID type: WAN IP address<br>

<dd>Encryption algorithm: 3DES<br>
<dd>Authentication algorithm: auto<br>
