   Netgear tech support:   
   ports 1723 and 500.   
      
   is correct, for IPSec you only need 500 UDP (but you know that normaly you   
   only need it, if you run IPsec software behind or without a router, like   
   Netgears VPN-Software). If you establish IPSec bewteen two Netgear FVS318,   
   be shure to have the latest identical Firmware on both of them, because   
   they realized entries you need ... .   
      
   (I will go on further with setting up for others ...)   
      
   Then it depends. If you have dynamic IP adresses, first you do have to use   
   aggressive mode(!). Then you should have two DNS entries at DynDNS (or at   
   simular services, see documentation) one for each site.   
      
   Next is, two estabish identical configurations. The only exceptions are the   
   (vice versa configured) identity data and the network addresses.   
      
   Thats all (and easy, made it serveral times),
