FVS318G VPN failure
I have a FSV318G for years. I'm using shrewsoft VPN client to to connect to it from multiple locations and its worked for months and months with no problems until last thursday... Now I can't connect to the VPN router from any client.
Shrewsoft client output:
config loaded for site 'office.vpn'
attached to key daemon ...
peer configured
iskamp proposal configured
esp proposal configured
client configured
local id configured
remote id configured
pre-shared key configured
bringing up tunnel ...
network device configured
tunnel enabled
negotiation timout occurred
tunnel disabled
detached from key daemon
Which usually indicates that phase one completes. But the router VPN logs:

There is a cable modem router in front of the FVS318G buts its been there all along.
Help
No, it goes back to the ISP router. It was either "bridged" like I said, or they had the 318 in the ISP router DMZ and were forwarding the ports to the 318 (not the ideal setup).

Does the 318 have a public IP on it's WAN? Check in the setup.
Do you have a static IP?
Are you using DynDNS?
Who is the ISP?
