Recently my company purchased a Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 FVS124G router. The reason that they purchased it was to share two DSL line to increase our bandwidth. Please also keep in mind that we are also running a VWAN thru our ISP.
Long story short, I am able to ping the Netgear router but unable to ping anything that is connected into it, and my off-site servers are unable to see the domain server. I have tryed to disable the firewall on the Netgear but have been unsuccessful in doing so. They have a default inbound rule set that I can not turn off. Netgear was unhelpful and I am about ready to throw the thing out the window because I have been dealing with this issue for almost a month.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

Hm... VWAN... Thats a new one by me. I'm guessing that is sort of a combination between a VPN and a point to point T1? Is there some sort of box on your side for that connection or do you just make a static route or something for it on your gateway/router? This is very intriguing :)
If the VWAN is running through your dsl connection(s) (eating its bandwidth) anyway what about getting another FVS124G router for the other site and doing a site to site IPSEC VPN?

Ok, you always have to have at least one rule even if it states let everything through, the devices you are trying to ping are they all on the router ie on the 4 ports or are they through the wan ports? What kind of ip scheme are you using ie are there different subnets on the inside and outside of the router? I am using a billion dual wan but not using a vwan , its ok but the qos does not work properly think they got a rat to program that one.

The VWAN is mantained by our ISP and I have no access to the IPtables.
I have also added rules in the firewall to allow all of my routers and servers to come thru but it still will not let them come thru. I also added my domain to the list of trusted sites and domains.

As far as adding an other Netgear on the other side, I can't do this because we are a non-profit company and don't have the means to purchase more equipment.

When I have the Netgear router hooked up I can ping all of my servers and all of my routers and DSL routers that are on the VWAN, but when it comes to talking back to my main site it sometimes the Netgear will respond to a ping sometimes it won't. When the rep from my ISP tried to ping the Netgear it would not even respond, but it would respond to one of my off site servers.

This whole VWAN has kind of thrown me for a loop but I am coming to understand it more and more. I hope that this helps.
