IPsec, specifically.

im using a netgear FVS338 router, and im gonna have both apple and xp machines connecting. the 'VPN wizard' in the router's web-based software isn't very helpful. :hs:

 

sounds like aids

 

What are you running into as the hangup? There are only a few basic parts:
1, allowing it in your firewall.
2. user authentication,
3. access rights
4. enabling the vpn itself.

(edit, i forgot, you also need to setup the DHCP for the IP address assignment)

 

.

 

Another option: Open the port, forward it to a computer, use windows' vpn:

that got a slight chuckle out of me.

 

i dont understand all the shit about money. i made a thread asking what was fair to ask for a lil while back, but thats about it. i never said i needed another job, i want to do this for the experience.

XS, thanks for your input. i'm not sure where im going wrong. im able to ping the internet address of the network, and i have the modem forwarding to the address of the router itself. i have IPsec selected in the windows connection settings and have entered the public key. i think something is wrong with the configuration on the router, but im not sure what. what should the local and remote endpoints be?

 

Does the dialup connection actually connect, but you can't see servers? Or does it fail with an error?

 

it says the remote computer did not respond.

 

Sounds like a local firewall issue. PM me a user / pwd / ip addy and i'll test.
