I can not get VPN to work throgh my Netgear FVS318 rotuer/firewall. It works on the local network, but not through firewall. I have opened port 1723, but still no connection. It gives error "781,encryption failed because no valid certificate was found".
Any suggestions?

Try:
1. Specify the ?Type of VPN server? in the VPN properties. When on automatic Windows tries L2TP then PPTP.
Note: L2TP requires certificate exchange using ISAKMP (Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol) on UDP port 500 and L2TP on UDP port 1701.

2. Use Network Monitor to capture the outgoing packets from your VPN client and ensure these ports are open on your firewall.

Tictag.
