I have a NETGEAR ProSafe FVS328 router. I am trying to configure it to
serve remote clients who wish to connect to my LAN.

I carefully followed the instructions here:

http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101418.asp

I am not at the stage yet of even attempting to install a VPN client
software on a PC in order to test the above. I am trying to check/
verify each step and I thought that the first confirmation that
something has changed (properly) on my router is that a simple port
scan via a web site like http://www.grc.com would at least reveal port
500 (IKE) as being "unstealthed".

However, the ShieldUp test shows that all ports in my Internet
connection are still stealthed.

How do I approach this problem correctly?

Thanks,
Alex

P.S. My NETGEAR FVS328 router is connected to the Internet via a
Westell 327 DSL modem/router. I "disabled" its router by configuring
it to pass "Single Static IP" (aka IP Passthrough) to the FVS328. I
hope that this is the right way to go.
