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 conn...
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).
I cant test that solution until next week because the cable modem and router will be in constant use. But im skeptical, the settings on the cable modem haven't changed: it was never in bridge mode and the netgear Firewall VPN never had a public IP address. Is there another possible reason the VPN has suddenly failed?

Comcast cable modem/router is now in bridge mode. The FVS318G has been assigned a static IP address. All users have access to internet . An RDC port is oped to a specific PC as test to make sure IP address is accessible. VPN still down: VPN client connects, tunnel is enabled but eventually times out. Suggestions?
rebuilt the vpn policy ... all is good now
