Here is my gear:
SBS 2003 Server:
Netgear FVS114 Router with latest firmware of 1.01_1
1 remote office
3 or 4 mobile exec's via laptops or at home using their linksys routers (Don't want to do any Router to Router VPN)
Questions:
1. I just buoght the FVS114 because it was 59.00 as apposed to 199.00 for the linksys RV042.
I need to save some money for the small company, however if justified i'll spend the extra money.
I didn't realize the "ProSafe VPN Client" software was "SEPERARTE" and didn't come in the box. My bad, however I have heard that I can use this router with OTHER 3rd party VPN client/solutions. Does anyone know which is the cheapest (if not Free) way to do this. End results should be to simpy have a laptop at starbucks hook up to this router OR server successfully. I don't mind long instructions.
2. I also have SBS2003 with RAS turned on and i've tested it within the network and connects. My problem was working with Linksys BESX41 and LinksysWRV54G routers. I could not get the quickvpn to work with the 54G and the Port forwarding of 1723 failed to establish a connection. i know that this may be because of the GRE compliance with protocol 47. Understood.
Aside from port 1723 forwarded to the windows 2003 SBS VPN server. what else should I forward if needed. Does anyone know if this router will support Passthrough. I know the checkbox is there, but linksys routers have the same "Allow IPsec" passthrough and they didn't work. I've tested it within the network WITHOUT any router and SBS and XP connected.
Which is best. Having the router handle the connections (have to buy Netgear client software) OR letting SBS answer the connection requests and connect via that route.
WIll this router work for this?
Thank you in advanced for any response.
