Fvx538
I have a FVX538 which was shelved for many years because we had a new FW from the provider. However we switched providers and I had to pull it off the shelf to use. I updated the firmware successfully...

Here is a list of items I've completed which hasn't solved the problem.
1 - Made sure the firmware was up to date
2 - Changed the internal office and remote addresses to something other than 192.168.x.x
3 - Made sure the settings for remote=local and local=remote on the setup of the remote client workstation.
4 - Tried changing the external public IP (three different IP addresses).
5 - Turned off the FW on the workstation
6 - Verified in the FW log that the remote workstation had attempted to connect but for an unknown reason was being dropped
I'm tempted to purchase a new FW. It seems to be the only option right now.
Any suggestions for a new one?
