Hi,
As far as I know, setting up two IPSec VPN connections between the same two routers is not the way to go.
It's not going to work because the VPN policies will conflict each other ("the destination subnet foo must go through the VPN bar" rule must be unique).
To configure this properly, you need to use rollover inside the VPN policy, on both side. And because you can only set one IP address as remote endpoint, you must use an FQDN.
The roll-over option determines which WAN interface use as outbound, and the FQDN as remote endpoint determines which remote IP address is used for the communication.

hi DaneA,
thank you for your support, you are very kind,
yes exactly that figure.
the ip addresses are static and given from the isp, the firmware is the 3.6.2-4.
there's 2 broadband connection on each site with 4 public and static ip
if i set up only one vpn tunnel everything looks and works good, troubles begin when i try to setup the second link.
unfortunately theres no documentation from netgear to set up that kind of scenario...
tnx
