I agree, the procedure from netgear is confusing by it does work.
Make sure you configure the VPN settings exaclty like the win2k
client. Send me an email if you need more help. One thing, however, I
have not been able to initiate more than 1 tunnel at a time. Netgear
says they can resolve this issue but I have my doubts.
Good Luck and Godspeed!!
