      ;)  Just to let everyone know.  I ran into a wicked problem and could not get a vpn tunnel recreated with a netgear 318.  It was a huge headache.  Looked at my M0n0wall configuration and the PFSense config and could not figure out what was wrong.  I did see that the password for the tunnel was 32 characters in the new configuration and on the old it was 16 characters.  I changed the password back to 16 characters and it came right up.  i don't understand but it appears to to be running fine now.  Any one know why this was such a issue?

        Sounds like you had the shared secret entered wrong? If it was 32 characters when the old one was 16, maybe you accidentally pasted it in twice or something? It has to match for the tunnel to work.

          I found out that the secret word was too long.  I made it shorter.  I got it working.  I have this tunnel working one way as well.  I can go to their end but can't come back.
