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.

To launch this function, click the Windows
Start
button, then select
Programs >
NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client > Log Viewer.
The Log Viewer screen for a successful
connection is shown in this figure:
Note:
Use the active VPN tunnel information and pings to determine whether
a failed connection is due to the VPN tunnel or some reason outside the VPN
tunnel.
9.
The Connection Monitor screen for this connection is shown in the following figure:
In this example you can see these settings:
•
The modem router has a GW address (public IP WAN address) of 22.23.24.25.
•
The modem router has a remote address (LAN IP address) of 192.168.3.1.
•
The VPN client PC has a local address (dynamically assigned address) of
192.168.2.2.
While the connection is being established, the Connection Name field in this screen displays
SA before the name of the connection. When the connection is successful, the SA changes
to the yellow key symbol shown in the previous figure.
Note:
While your PC is connected to a remote LAN through a VPN, you
might not have normal Internet access. If this is the case, you have
to close the VPN connection to have normal Internet access.

Set Up a Gateway-to-Gateway VPN Configuration
This section describes how to use the VPN Wizard to set up the VPN tunnel using the VPNC
default parameters listed in
Table

on page
97. If you have special requirements not covered
by these VPNC-recommended parameters, see
Set Up VPN Tunnels in Special
Circumstances
on page
118 for information about how to set up the VPN tunnel.
Follow this procedure to configure a gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnel using the VPN Wizard.
