That's encouraging; can you let me have a summary of the settings for both ends of the link, please? Many Thanks John Michael Schwartzkopff wrote:

I've tried setting up a local VPN between my SuSE server and the above Netgear unit. Currently, both units reside on a common 10.0.0.0 series network but each has a separate 192.168.x.0 network behind it and I want to get these 192.168 networks talking. Firstly, does anyone already have experience of this combination?

Yes. Successfully.

...

Secondly, can anyone help me solve a '021 no connection named "vpn-link"' error when I try and configure the OpenSwan side of the tunnel? Ipsec.conf contains the line 'conn vpn-link' but tihs does not seem to be recognised.

Syntax error ?

I'm not sure how, since the line typed looks identical to the examples given in he help file, but I could be missing something :(
