FVS318V2 "[IKE] ERROR: couldn't find configuration." - VPN not working
I am trying to access the FVS318V2 from a remote location with a mac/iphone.
I have setup VPN in two different ways.
1: Via L2TP Server
2: Via IKE
I set all parameters on osx/iphone accordingly to what I set in the server but I don't get connection.
Via L2TP server I get this in the VPN Log:
[IKE] ERROR: Could not find configuration for (IP Address)
And the client says "L2TP server does not respond"
Via IKE I get this in the VPN Log:
"[IKE] ERROR: couldn't find configuration."
And the client connects, disconnects and says nothing at all.
For setting up I followed these instructions:
For L2TP
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24393/~/configuring-an-l2tp-vpn-tunnel-to-prosafe%2Fpr...
However, the VPN-Client from OSX and iPhone insists on a preshared key, even though it is not mentioned at all in that tutorial. So I tried any key and the key I set in the IKE policies.
For IKE
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24242/~/mac-os-x-vpn-client-install-with-prosafe-vpn-f...
But I tried with the native OSX VPN client. The Client suggested in that tutorial does not work at all.
I followed these tutorials to the letter. My settings in the router are exactly like it (except to local/remote identifiers and passwords).
I have quadruple checked all settings in my vpn clients.
I'm stuck.

Hi Raphael303,
Welcome to the community!
I do not own a MAC nor an iOS device. However, let me share these links below as references:
How to configure VPN between iOS device and NETGEAR Firewall
http://www.kossboss.com/netgear---mac-iphone-ipsec-vpn-client-setup
http://www.vpntracker.com/us/vendor/6/netgear-mac-vpn-client.html
Kindly read this forum link from Apple Support Communities I found online.

Re: FVS318V2 "[IKE] ERROR: couldn't find configuration." - VPN not working
Hi
Thank you very much for your links. I checked out the tutorials in the first two. They are very similar to the third one I tried. However I still have the same result.
"[IKE] ERROR: couldn't find configuration."
No matter which tutorial I follow, it ends up giving me this error. I think that is very suspicious.
I didn't try the last link yet, since it needs an extra client and will not solve my ios problem.
