In your router setting are you sure that you are allowing VPN IPSec, PPTP and L2TP passthrough?

My FWG114P does the same thing. I've munky'd with the MTU, Pass-Thru is enabled (VPNs don't work without it). It doesn't seem to do this on all PPTP VPNs, just some. I just got the router today, so I haven't had a chance to mess with it too much.

PPTP VPNs I seem to have problems with are running IPCop 1.4. My office(s) has 3 of them, 2 on different DSL lines, and 1 on a T1. I can connect, but it pukes after about 2-5 minutes.

So far, the only other NON-IPCop firewalled VPN I've connected to was thru a Symantec Gateway Security 360 on a T1, I was connected for over 35 minutes. I have some other clients on other types of FW/Routers and will see what happens. Two of which I could not connect to using my old Buffalo WBR-G54, but can connect to with the Netgear.

Also interested to see if I can PPTP VPN into my home server now with the switch, the Buffalo didn't seem to like the idea.


Lemme know if you get anywhere with it, I'll try to do the same!

I'm having the same problem with the same router - any fixes?

I'm getting desperate - its a great router other than this VPN problem. Anyone have any help?
I've upgraded and downgraded to every firmware version netgear offers. I've done a factor reset, tried from wired or wireless - still drops me after 2minutes!

I disable that SPI Firewall and it just hangs at "verifying username/password" ...

same problem with same router - first - it drops connection every 3-4 days and If I am in VPN - it doesn't allow other computers to browse internet...
Netgear support told me to disable SPI-Firewall and change MTU. Didn't help yet :( ((

Just a stab in the dark....your home IP range is different from the office network, correct? Meaning, if your home LAN is 192.168.0.XXX, your office network is not the same, correct?
