Netgear 8port VPN router (FVS318)

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

hi!

....if every lan uses fvs318 you don´t need client software... the routers
establish the vpn connection...

you simply need a static ip for each lan or a updateservice such as
dyndns.org...

for configuring fvs318 the manual is to find on netgear´s homepage...
