RE: vpn passthrough on Netgear FVM318

["Halverson, Chris" <chris.halverson () encana com>]

Obviously the netgear support have only heard of the two protocols within
the TCP/IP Suite.
I tried to configure one of the NETGEAR routers without much luck.  You can
use PPTP!  I know it works :D
Is there a setting to allow all gre traffic (or IPSEC traffic)?

Subject: vpn passthrough on Netgear FVM318


Has anyone used a Netgear FVM318 Firewall/Router?
http://www.netgear.com/products/prod_details.asp?prodID=159&view=sb

I need it to allow VPN passthrough to a Windows 2000 VPN Server.
I can only add services (ports) as either TCP or UDP. I needed
to add Internet Protocol 47 (GRE) but can't since, like I said, it only
allows you to add either TCP or UDP.

I asked Netgear techsupport about this and was told that if I select
TCP/UDP (or both) for port 47, it's supposed to still work. I haven't
had much success with what they told me. Anyone with experience on this?
Thank you
