dd-wrt supports my router tho. I think your right about
the non standard vpn on the iphone. Maybe someone will
right a custom vpn app for a jailbroken iphone someday]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21198902 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:35:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21193993 mike12806 : Tried and ultimately failed to set-up a netgear FVS114 with my iphone to VPN into my home connection. I found the netgear VPN to be impossible to set up! I ended up getting a WRT54GL and putting dd-wrt on it, and i'm using that for a PPTP VPN.

I've also found that the iphone's PPTP VPN implication is non-standard, and I had to alter dd-wrt to make it work.

What I'm trying to say, if you get it work hat's off to ya!

EDIT: The dd-wrt VPN setup page is a thousand times easier to understand for the relative novice at setting up a VPN....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21193993 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:37:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21185561 mikejetter : No, its a site that emulates the config page for the different model netgear routers. Here is the link

Ill try that other forum SoonerAl, thanks for the help]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21185561 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 09:50:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21179746 DocLarge : Is that shot of the routers interface the exact configuration you've got set up for connections to your 2003 vpn server?

Its not a port that needs to be opened. You can either upgrade the firmware or reflash the firmawre to try and fix this issue. Also the folks over on the BBR Netgear forum may have more information about this issue...

»Netgear

FWIW, this is a big issue with consumer grade routers.

I dont see how to configure a rule on this router to forward protocol 47. I tried calling
the support line but they want me to pay them 150$ before they
will tell me if its capable or not lol

The router interface is here
»interface.netgear-forum.com/FVS3···ules.htm

Anyone know if that is possible on the Netgear FVS338?

Im also using the latest firmware.

Thanks for the help]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21173480 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:41:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21167416 mikejetter : Thanks, I never knew that tool existed. Ill give it a try
later tonite]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21167416 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:11:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21166406 SoonerAl : I can't speak to L2TP/IPsec but you can test the PPTP link through the router by running the test detailed in the PPTP Ping/VPN Traffic sections on this page.

»technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr···965.aspx

If the test fails then its possible a router firmware upgrade or reflash may fix the issue...

to setup a vpn at home for it to secure the wifi connection. I cant seem to get the
vpn to work. I have a windows 2003 server configured with RRAS. I have the following
ports being forwarded to that 2003 server.

UDP500, TCP1701, TCP1723, UDP4500

If I remove the router and plug the server directly into the cable modem then RRAS works fine,
so I know the issue is with the router.

I also have IPSec, PPTP, L2TP checked on the VPN Pass through page below.

»interface.netgear-forum.com/FVS3···ecks.htm

Anyway when I try to connect, the iphone times out saying it cant connect to the server.

Can anyone tell me if there is anything else I need to config on the router to get an RRAS server
working?
