This is a very new NETGEAR ADSL router. It looks like a 
really good router, it's got VPN pass thru, and everything.

I've just installed this ADSL router (connected with Demon) 
and it works great for normal internet access.

However, when I try to do a CISCO Client VPN connect (which 
works over a simple modem connection) I can connect and 
negotiate, but then the internet connection dies (all
access).

The CISCO VPN client is v4.0. I tried this on windows
it didn't even negotiate. On Linux it did negotiate
and connect successfully. But then no internet access.

Cisco VPN client:-

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      3696640 Nov 27 18:46 vpnclient-linux-4.0.Rel-k9.tar

Netgear allowed inbound ports:-

Any(ALL)(TCP/UDP:1,65535) 
ALLOW always
Send to: 192.168.0.2 (Linux Server)

Yes everything. No other special rules, NO DMZ, etc.

I have to actually reboot my linux 2.4.21 v7.2 Redhat
machine to be able to connect back to the internet
(not very good, this is a windows type requirement).

Has anyone else had better luck with this ?

Please CC: me on any replies, I can receive them very
fast.
