Netgear FVS318 VPN connection

["Peter Dow" <maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm on W2K Pro trying to connect to a customer through my LinkSys BEFSR41 to
their Netgear FVS318 router which should let me see their LAN and their
iSeries.

I'm totally unfamiliar with this stuff, so I followed the instructions I
downloaded from Netgear for setting up an IP Security policy on W2K to
communicate with their router.  This is new to the LAN guy on the other end
too, so we're stumbling over terminology among other things.

At the moment, when I attempt to ping their iSeries's LAN IP address, I get
4 reponses of Negotiating IP Security, which I take as a good sign.  However
there's no sign it reached the Netgear router.

Has anyone done this?  Is there a Netgear forum for it somewhere?  Any and
all help appreciated.
