| Netgear FVS124G Hi,
Does anyone know how I would go about configuring a VPN between 2 of these routers?
Thanks in advance

kudos:3 | I would start by reading the user guide.
That is assuming after one has read about VPNs on the net - there are many good white papers and explanations via google. |
|
| I've setup VPNs on Draytek routers, never on these netgear ones, it seems totally different.
How do you choose which dials which? How does the IP/FQDN identification work?
I've searched the internet but all I can find is demo's of setting up the netgear prosfae client doftware, I can't find any walkthroughs of a LAN to LAN VPN |

Start by reading this: FVS124G Reference Manual. I just did, and found out that the router has a fairly-straightforward wizard for setting up gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnels. You just have to enter the remote WAN and LAN addresses, and the PSK. |

Second broccoli  's comments. Took all of two seconds on a search engine for "FVS124G manual" to find
what you needed. After that is your desire to learn and DIY, bdmhenderson .

Re: Netgear FVS124G When setting up a pair of Watchguard boxes to do a site-to-site VPN, there is no "which dials which". Each end is set to search out the other at a specific IP (or FQDN if you have dymanic IP's). They find each other and connect just a few seconds after booting up. |

| I eventually got the VPN going had to end up using Fully Qualified User Name before it would work.
I have also got a netgear FVS318 - however if use the same settings for this the VPN doesn't work, it shows connected on both ends however I can't ping machines across the VPN - any thoughts on this?
Seen a couple of posts elsewhere with the same problem however they never mentioned if the found a solution (The posts were a couple of years old!) |
