So after 2 days of futzing around with this stupid piece of crap I finally got the client software to connect to the router. I have the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall FVX538. In fact, I have 3 of these pieces of trash.
Anyways...Now that I have finally connected to the firewall I cannot access network resources, like shared folders
(\\comp1\folder1). There is no domain, just the standard workgroup called workgroup. Also when I use ipconfig, I guess the VPN client software does not register the connection with windows so there is no PPP connection address.
Let me know if someone out there has had this problem or know possibly what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
BTW anyone thinking of purchasing a netgear VPN router because you think it will be easier to implement VPN, DONT DO IT!. You be better off building one yourself, at least that way you'll know what fields do what.
