VPN MacOS client setup
Working to setup up a IPv4 Client-to-Gateway VPN tunnel for MacOS clients configuring the MacOS native VPN client (Network Settings, VPN Interface, Cisco IPSec type). It appears I have been successfu...
I apologize for this is the only time I got back on this. Is your network setup as well as the settings on your FVS336Gv3 and MAC OS X Sierra the same as indicated on the article below?

11:42:37 Error IKE phase 2 negotiation failed due to time up waiting for phase1. ESP 136.24.0.247[500]->10.10/10/115[510]
About a year ago, I got exact same error message as you, when connecting to a VPN created by Netgear Support just for me to test with
"setup a IKE policy with mode config enabled in our laboratory"
my error message was:
Error IKE phase2 negotiation failed due to time up waiting for phase1. ESP 124.83.33.11[0]->192.168.1.198[0]
Netgear support are telling me that they received no connection attempt from my network. It was at that point I have up on the whole idea of setting up a VPN and tossed it into the too hard basket.
Did you ever get it working?
genesearch,
DaneA, on this thread, has provided references to two articles purporting to have the configuration deteils I require. However I have tried both configuration settings sets without success. The similiarity of the settings between the two articles has me believig that I am close, so I will "play" with variations on these settings to see if I can break through. I will update the thread with news of any breaktrough. I'll also drop you a brief note as well. But then again, if after experimenting, I might also have need for the "too hard" bucket!
Still, given the growing popularlity of Macs, I find Netgears weak support for that platform baffling. There should be good, tested, instructions for setting up this VPN on the FVS336G ("with SSL and IPSec VPN") using MacOS. There also shoud be a MacOS version of Netgear Smart Control Center. One can hope NetGear comes to recognize this market.
