Re: OT: Netgear VPN Client

["Keith Finnett" <keith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally speaking i'm using L2TP from my PC (no firewalls) on a
dial-up to Clara.net, to my router at home on my broadband
connection with fixed IP.

I agree and understand the below issues - they're not applicable
here, but thanks for the suggestions. Looking for specific help with
Netgear DG834 router and Netgear ProSafe software.

Cheers,

Keith
