Can't connect to FVS318N L2TP VPN with Windows client - Error 789_case # 25689768
I have a FVS318N that has been in place for a couple of years. Recently I was asked by a couple of employees to enable VPN access. So I figured I would play with it and see what my options were/are. I have applied the latest firmware, 4.3.3-5.
I then followed this KB
All seemed pretty straight forward. However, when I try to connect from a windows client: I've tried Windows 7x64, 32, Windows Server 2008r2, even Windows XP, I get an error 789. I get the supremely generic Event ID 20227 in the windows event log.
It feels like I have missed a config step on the Netgear, need to allow traffic in somehow or something.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks for the suggestion DaneA, I had done all those steps except the Registry edit. I did that and rebooted, no joy.
I think it has to be something else because I can't connect even with Windows XP either.
Thanks,
Dan
