Netgear VPN Client issues

Make sure no more than one VPN client including Cisco, Checkpoint and Safenet installed on the same computer.

Be sure to configure the VPN for connection to "a single IP address" instead of "a subnet".

Make sure no software firewall (such as Norton Firewall, ZoneAlarm, or Windows XP Firewall) on the VPN Client block VPN traffic.

Troubleshooting VPN issues

You can troubleshoot VPNissues using the VPN status and log details on the Netgear router to
determine if IKE negotiation is working.
