Hello Dan,
Thank you for your reply and please forgive my tardiness in getting back to you.
I actually have that PDF already and have tried multiple times to get the Client-to-FVS318N VPN to work but I must be missing something somewhere. It simply would not work. As I mentioned in my initial post, I did purchase a full licensed version of the VPN client so that's not an issue. What seems to be happening is that the firewall's Wizzard never creates the Phase I and Phase II components of the policy so of course no "hand-shaking" ever gets completed resulting in no VPN connection. I just verified yesterday morning that both of my FVS318N firewalls are completely up to date with the latest firmware available so that shouldn't be the problem either.
I'll give this yet another go over the weekend though and see what happens. I'd really like to get this figured out and functioing though as I have two trips coming up soon and I don't like the idea of "poking holes" through the firewalls to get into the network remotely.
Yes of course the firewall is connected directly to the outside world, static IP address and all.
Actually about to just give up on this and find another solution as I've seen several other threads thus far with pretty much the same problem but no resolution.
I at least got to the point where the Client at least tries to connect but then fails with:
SEMD phase 1 Aggressive Mode [SA][KEY_EXCH][NONCE][ID][VID][VID][VID][VID][VID]
Repeats that three times and then quits. Everything on EACH end set exaclt the same. "Authentication (IKE) 28800" and "Encryption (IPSec) 3600" exactly as the PDF recommends... DH-1 set at both ends... but still nothing.
