I am using a Netgear FVS318. Can I use the Intel Netstructure VPN
Client to establish a VPN tunnel? If so what settings do I use, if not
what other client can I use?

Howdy fariateam,

From the Netgear website.
http://www.netgear.com/support/faqs/N100721-23_30_33_46_47.asp

"The FVS318 supports the Safenet (Soft-PK, SoftRemote) client,
available at www.safenet-inc.com. This is the only client that
we support, But we do have setup documents for most of the major
VPN Clients software."

Here is the SafeNet page where you can purchase SoftRemote.  It
appears they no longer sell the Soft-PK software package.
http://www.safenet.biz/prod/software/software_a.asp

"SafeNet SoftRemoteŽ is the next generation of remote access client
software and offers unparalleled extended features to remote access
users connecting to the corporate VPN."

SoftRemote costs $149.00.

You can always try Netgear's Premium Support.
http://www.netgear.com/support/premium/index.html

"What are the Premium Networking Support Service rates?
 - Per Incident - $28.95"

Yep, I know that one can buy the FVS318 for under $120, that
is, less than the SafeNet software, but it appears that others
have tried using the Intel VPN Client with mixed results at
best.

Looking Forward, denco-ga

Do you think I would get a definte answer if I had a higher dollar
amount for this question? Thanks

Howdy fariateam,

Well, you could always try a higher price, but it appears the
Netgear FVS318 is just not all that fun to setup for VPN.  In
other words, if an easy or straight forward solution was out
there, one of us researchers should have found it by now.

With Netgear only supporting SoftRemote, the two "solutions"
I provided (going through Netgear Premium Support with no
guarantee of a solution, or buying the SoftRemote software)
might be the only alternatives you have at this point.

You can try reviewing this message thread at the Tek-Tips
website forums area, as it has some general tips, and it
might provide some further resources.

You might check out this Netgear Windows 2000 documentation
as well, from a Netgear site.
