With some help of Edwin I can acces my fritzbox as VPN gateway.
This is working well with the freeware VPN client Shrew.
Since I also need Iphone acces i have modified the config file to make xauth possibile.
Using the build in VPN Cisco client I can access my network from the Iphone
Now the PC client is no longer working...:(
tried all the possibile options..
Also upload of second config file is not working since the first one is overritten when doing new upload...

I have also Cisco VPN client installed on my laptop but did not manage to make VPN connection using the PC client.
There are not so much options to configure...used the same options as the iphone...but no succes

I have 2 profiles in my Fritzbox defined:
1 Iphone
1 PC (Shrewsoft)

When creating the config i downloaded both profiles in one time, and uploaded it in the Fritzbox (7390)

Works great.

How do you upload two profiles
the first one is always overwritten when i upload the last one
Can you combine two profiles in one file?
If you have a example that will be great.

I installed the Fritz!box VPN Connection software.

I selected the "Configure VPN Connection for one User"

Select a valid email adres for the new user.

When not done allready, select a dns name for your fritzbox

Select the right network addresses

Save the file, and import it in the Fritzbox
There will be two files created!!!

Now you can open the fritzbox software again, and create a second user.

In this folder: C:\Users\username%\AppData\Roaming\AVM\FRITZ!VPN\Fritzbox_adres there will be a few files created:
a File for import in the fritzbox, containing 2 config files for the fritzbox VPN users.

For each created VPN user there will be a folder, containing a config file named vpnuser_emailaddress

For my Shrewsoft client i made a vpn user, and for my Iphone i also created a vpn user.
When you want to connect with a Iphone over a IPSEC tunnel, you have to edit the file that will be imported in the fritzbox, but leave the other config in the same config file intact.

After editing the config file you can import it in the Fritzbox (you import than all the vpn users)

Thanks for the tip.
It's working now..:)
If you have a Cisco PC client version please let me know.

Since I have already the client installed on my Imac and Laptop.

It did not work in my system since i have build the both config files (Iphone and PC) on different machines.
