The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

FVS114 - VPN Connection options. What would be best

Asked by jaguarpriest in Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Tags: ,

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?
