I have bought a Netgear FVG318 VPN router. The manual will only give me instructions on how to VPN connect using their own Netgear software at £30 a pop for a single user or £140+ for a 5 user license (which is what I really want).

I am unwilling to pay for this unless I can get some idea the router is working as it should out of the box.

I have followed the "VPN Wizard" interface on the router, setting up gateway to client.

I have tried using the "connect to workplace" on Vista Home and get nothing.

I have downloaded a few IPSec installs for Vista Home and still, even with the most basic settings, I cannot connect.

I have tried connecting from my work connection and my 3G card so all connections are isolated from my home network.

Any help much appreciated.
