In all likelihood, the laptop would no be directly connected to the internet. I would be at the mercy of whomever was providing a hot spot.

Is there no way to get that to work?

Hi,

You laptop is directly connected to Internet ? (no NAT). Because the NETGEAR DG834 support only the MAIN Mode... (and the VPN is buggy...)

Regards,

Can anyone provide a cookbook for setting the Netgear VPN settings and ShrewSoft VPN client that would enable the two to connect? I've been tearing my hair trying all sorts of combinations, but can't get anything to work. The VPN trace on the Win 7 laptop shows three attempts to send phase1 packets before it hits "resend limit exceeded for phase1 exchange" and aborts.

I am a computer programmer with 30 years experience and lots of networking experience, but I can't figure this one out!

Thanks,
Howard
