Just upgraded to 3.3.3 but there isn't changes to the interface. What version have you got?

Ditto. I need the LAN/Static Route feature but that screen just ain't there.

BTW what are people using for failover detect? ARP detect takes a full minute but ping detect notices the WAN is down in just 15 seconds. I am now pinging 8.8.8.8, a Google DNS server, but would welcome other suggestions for very robustly reliable fixed IP addresses.

I got the RC firmware by contacting support as the teleworker configuration didn't work for me. It took a couple of hours for them to respond which is pretty good. I've not had any problems yet, but there must be a reason it's not released yet! The differences I've noted:

"LAN > General Setup" 2nd Subnet. (untested by me)
"LAN > Static Route" UI (untested by me)
"Bandwidth Management > Sessions Limit" UI (used to not save settings)
"Bandwidth Management > Quality of Service" UI (Untested by me)
"Applications > RADIUS" UI (untested by me)
"VPN > VPN Server Wizard" now works for teleworker as well as lan-to-lan
"VPN > Remote Access Control" UI (works)
"VPN > PPP General Setup" (untested by me)
"VPN > IPSec General Setup" UI (works)
"VPN > Remote Dial-in User" UI (works)

Data flow manager still doesn't seem to do anything for me.

I believe the google dns server is multi-homed so is quite a good choice.

V2920 (as vpn g/w) + V2920n (remote site, linked by ethernet + vpn)

This is all rather odd; could there be multiple variants of firmware around? My 2920 arrived from SEG factory shrink wrapped and with 3.3.2.3 showing a build date of Mar 2 2010 13:09:28 in place, and the VPN PPTP server works a treat for me with Windows XP clients.

Thanks for the comments on the ping target.

Well the latest firmware fixed a problem I hadn't noticed due to load balancing.
The 2920 kept dropping the connection to the vigour 120. So I logged onto the 120 and it had been up for 400 odd hours so clearly a prob with the 2920.
So I decided to Flash it and bingo fixed the problem.
