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.

Unable to connect to VPN through NetGear FVX538 VPN ProSafe Firewall.

Asked by HbugProject in Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Tags: , , ,

I have had so much trouble using the Netgear VPN firewall and the VPN client software that I have decided to abandon this setup and venture into something new.
I'm now trying to set up a VPN with the provided, free software that comes with Windows XP Pro and Windows Server 2003.  I have successfully setup the VPN servers-side with Tech Republic's help and white papers and I have also setup the client-side of the VPN as well.
Now I'm at the part where I'm using pptpsvr.exe and pptpclnt.exe (free from Microsoft) to test whether or not the request from the client is making it through the NetGear firewall and making it to the VPN server. Then the VPN server should reply back to the client with "x" number of GRE packets.
This is my problem. I can't get a reply from the VPN server so I assume that the request is not making it past the firewall. I have opened up port 1723 and forwarded it directly the static IP of the VPN server. My client is on another network with an IP of 192.168.0.x while the network I'm trying to connect to is on network 192.168.1.x. I did read that I have to set up IP protocol 47 as well. To my knowledge this IP protocol 47 is not TCP/UDP port 47. I don't know how to configure this IP protocol 47 on my FVX538 VPN ProSafe firewall in order to allow my VPN request to reach the server. Any ideas out there on how to configure this IP protocol 47?
I need this issue to be resolved asap in order to keep my boss happy!Start Free Trial
