Thanks for the update. I apologize for the late response.
I found another article online which is a bit different to the first one I've shared with regard to some settings configured. Kindly access it below and try to follow the steps:
IP Securitas Os X – Netgear FVS336G VPN Settings
Kindly delete the existing IKE & VPN policies then start over again. Let us know the result.

DaneA,
Thank you for the additional article with alternate settings. I did try those alternate settings, but also without sucess. The two articles had variations on similiar settings, which has suggested to me to play around a bit more with those settings, in hope of finding a combination that works. I'll update this thread with any successful findings.

I have since got the VPN working using the above instructions and it worked, however I didnt do anything different than last time.
Since I had updated both the Netgear router firmware and using Updated version of Ipsecuritas, i can only assume that there was something wrong with older software. Especially that I was gettin the same errors connecteding to the Netgear supports test VPN they created in their lab.
