great product
operating system:Not ApplicableI bought two of these and set up a VPN between two locations within a couple of hours (and that includes the driving time between locations!). The web-based set-up and configuration facility is comprehensive and intuative. The auto-sensing cross-over function is also very useful - allowing you to use standard or cross-over cables to connect to other devices.
I'm just about to buy two more.....
What a box! :o)
operating system:Windows 2000I have been looking into which firewall to get for a while and found this is the best unit around for price and ease of use. It has all the great features of the more expensive models and is a doddle to set up.
I had the thing on my network within minutes the only thing that took the time was the port redirection (but thats the same for any unit).
I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, and with up to 8 VPN tunnels straight from win2k desktop - you can't go wrong.
In the firewall's http interface, it gives you great explanations of what the settings do, and is great to learn from if you don't already know.
Well done Netgear - 10 out of 10.
uPnP
Just to lets you know that this device has uPnP (automatically opens UDP/TCP ports on demand from PC) without uPnP you can't use VoIP in MSN messenger
SETUP 1of2
You will need a LAN (RJ45) broadband modem or router eg. Netgear DM602 or DG814
STATIC IP SETUP EXAMPLE:
Modem/Router setup
1. Your DG814 LAN IP should be different that your FVS314 LAN IP for eg. 172.12.9.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
2. Use DMZ to forward traffic to 172.12.9.2
3. Your DG814 LAN IP should be different that your FVS314 LAN IP for eg. 172.12.9.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
