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 connect to the VPN router from any client.
Shrewsoft client output:
config loaded for site 'office.vpn'
attached to key daemon ...
peer configured
iskamp proposal configured
esp proposal configured
client configured
local id configured
remote id configured
pre-shared key configured
bringing up tunnel ...
network device configured
tunnel enabled
negotiation timout occurred
tunnel disabled
detached from key daemon
Which usually indicates that phase one completes. But the router VPN logs:

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).

Re: FVS318G VPN failure
Does the 318 have a public IP on it's WAN? Check in the setup.
Do you have a static IP?
Are you using DynDNS?
Who is the ISP?

Re: FVS318G VPN failure
They you have found your problem.
The 318 needs a public IP on its WAN..
The ISP probably updated the firmware on the cable modem and deleted/defaulted the previous settings.
The cable modem needs to be placed in Bridge Mode so that it passes the public IP to the 318.

Re: FVS318G VPN failure
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?

Re: FVS318G VPN failure
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?
