[zillah]

Hi

I tried to follow the instruction in the guide line below (Under Netgear FVS318 V3)

http://www.thegreenbow.com/vpn_gateway.html

It worked the first time then after that I do not know why stopped working!!!

This is my configuration for the router FVS 318 V3 and The Green bow client

Did your IP change?

What exactly isn't working. Can you connect and not authenticate or are you not even able to connect?

Sorry admin for a late reply but I have not received an email notification for your post.

I have not changed any ip,,,I just tried to change the name for the remote and local to more meaningful name to my case.

I just figured out where is the problem

On the Netgear router I configured this :

Local
Local Identity Type : FQDN
Local Identity Data : FVS318Local 

Remote
Remote Identity Type : FQDN
Remote Identity Data : FVS318Remote

On TheGreenBow Client I configured it wrongly as below :

"Local ID"
Value : FVS318Local,,,,,,This is should be FVS318Remote 
Type : DNS


"Remote"
Value : FVS318Remote,,,,,,This is should be FVS318Local
Type : DNS

The correct configuration should be as below

"Local ID"
Value : FVS318Remote
Type : DNS


"Remote"
Value : FVS318Local
Type : DNS

Ah. Backwards. When I make mistakes like that it drives me crazy. You think it's some massive failure when all you have to do is switch a couple of lines of information.
