VPN setup question for XP.

Hi:

I'm attempting to set up a VPN for about 6 remote users connected through a Netgear FVS318. I've set up the VPN filters according to the information on this Netgear Support Page (using

so it doesn't wrap):

, but I'm not sure how to use the filters set up as part of a completed VPN connection. It appears they've left that critical part out of the directions. (I do have a router on my end. It's a Belkin N1. The WAN set on the Belking isn't the internet IP though. It's something that starts with 192.168 so it's local, and the connection uses a Windows gateway. Maybe that's complicating things.)

Clearly I can't use the VPN wizard to do it, because I've tried that, so there must me some manual rigmarole. The filters assume static addresses, and I generally have dynamic, but wanted to at least see if I can establish a network before dealing with that nicety. The IP addresses don't change, whether they're local or wide. BTW, I have set up a succussful Remote Desktop connection passing through this router, so it is possible to set up a two-way connection.

The following log file is the sequence the router runs through about half a dozen times before giving up on the VPN, when I attempt to use a generic VPN connection set up by Microsoft's wizard. (Yes, I did specify an IPSec shared key). It basically gets stuck to the Oakley Transform, though I don't know what "invalid value 14" means.
