After doing some searching, I picked up the Netgear FVM318. The problem
I now have is that the documentation is so bad, I need some assistance
setting it and the client software up. I can't believe the screen shots
in Netgear's documentation doesn't match what is actually in the
FVM318's GIU interface. The Safenet Client it comes with doesn't match
either. Sheesh!!

Someone please help.

TIA!!

I have the FVS318, not sure what the M vs S difference is. However, one
thing I did find in setting up the FVS318 is Netgear's telephone support is
pretty good ...very helpful (and patient). What particular area are you
having problems with?

Stacy,

Because of the bad documentation, I don't know where my problem is. Let
me show you below how my routers VPN is set up. Please look it over and
let me know what needs to be changed. I think the problem is that I
don't know what info they are looking for in the fields like Local IPSec
Identifer, Remote IPSec Identifer, Remote LAN IP, etc... BTW, I do have
a static IP address. Thanks!!
