SSL VPN on FVS336G
I have been able to successfully setup an SSL VPN on a FVS336GV1 with the latest firmware but have several issues with it. All of them on Windows XP or 7 clients.
The performance is very low with just one client connected. I have noticed that it uses virtualpassage.exe to connect. If you check the connection settings it uses "ISDN Canal - Virtual Passage SSLDrv Adapter" to connect with 1x64K channel to connect. Am I missing something here or is it supposed to behave like that.
On the other hand, the connection is highly error prone. Depending on the PC sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't lots of error messages such as "installation is corrupt" "the modem is in use", etc. On some, once you connect you can't see the internal network, on others you see some of it and in a few you see everything.
The bottom line is, is this something recommended or is it better to setup an IPSec VPN with shrew client. I will put a separate thread on that.

- Did you create AD authentication?
http://interface.netgear-forum.com/FVS336G/add_ssl_domains.htm
Domain, create group and under SSL setting choose the group - OK, I don't know what happened but it worked for a few minutes and then it stopped. So under SSL VPN what can keep me from accessing shared drives in the windows domain?
I can ping the machines and access al non windows resources, I can even access windows resources from the remote desktop. - Yes, I have a domain associated with a portal. I login fine against de DC but I cannot connect to windows shares.
Well, now I can, but typing //server IP/share letter/directory In case it gives you a hint - Did you did AD authentication setup?
- Try \\ip address \share
- Yes, that works but there must be another way around. I can't ask an administration guy to access a share that way.
- Use lmhost editing and see if that helps on each remote PC
- Yes, that worked but connection to the shares is awfully slow. Much faster with remote desktop so it is not a bandwidth issue.
- You probably have slow broadband . Effect are from both sides broadband speed that is RDP works better for you
- What are you using for the DNS server in the SSL VPN setup?
