IPSec Pass-thru
 |
I think you are missing one basic issue.
VPN consists of two parts
1. A VPN server
2. The VPN clients
VPN pass through is used when you have a dedicated VPN server computer downstream of your router. In your case I think you are trying to use your Netgear as the VPN server (I use Dratek Vigor 2600 for the same purpose). I am also assuming that it supports teleworker connections like the Draytek gear aswell as LAN to LAN tunnels.
Therefore you need to switch OFF the vpn pass through and configure your router as a VPN server (cannot help you with this as not familiar with Netgear stuff). Configure a teleworker account for remote access and configure your laptop with the correct settings for a VPN link.
The other problem you may have is what type of IP address is the Netgear attached to on the internet side ? Dynamic or static IP. If it is dynamic you need to use DDNS services. A service I do not see listed on the router specs.
If you find that this router does not have the necessary configurations to get you working get yourself a Draytek Vigor 2600. They are easy to setup and support DDNS, have a built in DSL modem interface, firewall, VPN pass through and servers for PPTP, IPsec, and L2P.
Start with PPTP and you will be up and running in 10 minutes. IPsec is a little more complicated to setup on ALL routers due to Windows configurations required.
