Question : Problem: Connecting with netgear fvs338 vpn firewall routers

A supid question but I do not know the answer. I have a Netgear FVS338 VPN Firewall Router. I corrently connect to it using the Netgear prosafe vpn client. Works very good and the setup is easy but have a need to expand and make the connection between vpn firewall routers instead. Easiest way would be to add another netgear FVS338 but I am not sure if they support router to router connection.I have looked in the neatgear web site without a satisfactory answer. All they talk about is their prosafe client connection. Do they work router to router? Or is there a better way/router to go with without spending a hugh amount on the project. I still will need to be able to connect with a client for mobility when done.
Thanks for any advise.

Answer : Problem: Connecting with netgear fvs338 vpn firewall routers

May be a simple routing problem.

Regarding the client PCs at each site:
   What is their default gateway?

If the default gateway at both sites is not the Netgear, you'll need to add some routing statements.

For example -

SiteA - 192.168.1.0 /24
    Cisco router
        LAN IP 192.168.1.1
        WAN (internet)
        DHCP server 192.168.1.100-200 gw 192.168.1.1
    Netgear firewall
        LAN IP 192.168.1.2
        WAN (internet) (VPN to SiteB)

SiteB - 192.168.2.0 24
    Netgear firewall
        LAN IP 192.168.2.1
        WAN (internet) (VPN to SiteA)
        DHCP server 192.168.2.100-100 gw 192.168.2.1

In the above example, you would need to add a route statement to the Cisco router:
ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2
