It says in the specs that the DG834G router supports VPN connections?
Can anybody point me a link to some instructions as to how to go about getting it work?

Im using the default firmware for the netgear router.

we used to use netgears vpn into work, then run VNC. What a load of s***. Was so flakey, hardly worked, support was crap. Now we just run remote desktop.

Good luck.

first off get the latest Firmware, you might also want to read up on vpn Support from netgear's site, you have trouble with that firmware ie drop outs older ones can be found here.
