Help with gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnel
----------
Hello,

I'm trying to set up a VPN tunnel between my home network and a friend's home network. My friend uses a 3Com OfficeConnect Secure Router, which supports up to 2 VPN tunnels, and I'm using a NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Wireless ADSL Gateway DGFV338 which supports a large number of VPN tunnels. I'm unable to get the VPN tunnel to work, and I was hoping I could get some help with this.



When we try to manually open the tunnel from my friend's side, the following is logged in the router:

Nov 24 14:58:49 localhost kernel: IKE: IKE --Start Phase 1 negotiation with peer x.x.74.185
Nov 24 14:58:49 localhost kernel: IKE: IKE -- RemoteGateway ID: IPV4_ADDR--x.x.74.185 PresharedKey:***

Nov 24 14:58:49 localhost kernel: IKE: IKE -- MainMode Exchange Selected
Nov 24 14:58:49 localhost kernel: IKE: IKE -- MainMode -- initiator sent out message1 to x.x.74.185, port 500->500.
Nov 24 14:58:29 localhost kernel: IKE: IKE --PHASE1_NEGOTIATION_ABOR T -- peer x.x.74.185


The following is logged on my side in the router during this:

2007-11-24 14:58:48: ERROR: Could not find configuration for x.x.188.224[45290]
200 7-11-24 14:58:58: ERROR: Could not find configuration for x.x.188.224[45290]

200 7-11-24 14:59:18: ERROR: Could not find configuration for x.x.188.224[45290]



When we try to manually open the tunnel from my side, the following is logged in the router:

2007-11-24 15:07:51: INFO: accept a request to establish IKE-SA: x.x.188.224
2007-11-24 15:07:51: INFO: Configuration found for x.x.188.224.

The 3Com router at my friend's side does not seem to be logging anything at all during this (and it's setup to be logging everything).


T his is the configuration on the 3Com router:

This is the configuration on the Netgear router:

The Netgear does have far more settings than the 3Com...



Th anks in advance for any help!
