N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200 
To check the VPN connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the 
modem router’s network by using the Connect option in the NETGEAR ProSafe menu 
bar. The NETGEAR ProSafe client reports the results of the attempt to connect. Since the 
remote PC has a dynamically assigned WAN IP address, it has to initiate the request. 
To perform a ping test using our example, start from the remote PC:
a.
Establish an Internet connection from the PC.
b. 
On the Windows taskbar, click the 
Start
button, and then select 
Run
.
c. 
Type
ping -t 192.168.3.1
, and then click 
OK
.
This causes a continuous ping to be sent to the first modem router. After between 
several seconds and 2 minutes, the ping response should change from timed out to 
reply.
Once the connection is established, you can open a browser on the PC and enter the 
LAN IP address of the remote gateway. After a short wait, you should see the login 
screen of the modem router (unless another PC is already logged in to the modem 
router).
You can view information about the progress and status of the VPN client connection by 
opening the NETGEAR ProSafe Log Viewer.
