Testing the VPN Connection
You can test the VPN connection in several ways:
•
From the client PC to the FWG114P v2
•
From the FWG114P v2 to the client PC
These procedures are explained below.
From the Client PC to the FWG114P v2
To check the VPN Connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the FWG114P v2
by using the “Connect” option of the FWG114P v2 Wireless Firewall/Print Server popup menu.
1.
Open the popup menu by right-clicking on the system tray icon.
2.
Select
Connect
to open the My Connections list.
3.
Choose
FWG114P v2
.
The FWG114P v2 Wireless Firewall/Print Server will report the results of the attempt to
connect.
Once the connection is established, you can access resources of the network connected to the
FWG114P v2.
Another method is to ping from the remote PC to the LAN IP address of the FWG114P v2. To
perform a ping test using our example, start from the remote PC:
1.
Establish an Internet connection from the PC.
2.
On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.
3.
Type
ping -t 192.168.0.1
and click OK.
This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the first FWG114P v2. After a period of up to
two minutes, the ping response should change from “timed out” to “reply.”
Note:
Virus protection or firewall software can interfere with VPN communications. Be
sure such software is not running on the remote PC with the Netgear ProSafe VPN
Client and that the firewall features of the FWG114P v2 are not set in such a way as to
prevent VPN communications.

To test the connection to a computer connected to the FWG114P v2, simply ping the IP
address of that computer.
Once connected, you can open a browser on the remote PC and enter the LAN IP Address of the
FWG114P v2, which is http://192.168.0.1 in this example. After a short wait, you should see the
login screen of the FWG114P v2.
From the FWG114P v2 to the Client PC
You can use the FWG114P v2 Diagnostic utilities to test the VPN connection from the FWG114P
v2 to the client PC. Run ping tests from the Diagnostics link of the FWG114P v2 main menu.
Monitoring the PC VPN Connection
Information on the progress and status of the VPN client connection can be viewed by opening the
Netgear ProSafe VPN Client Connection Monitor or Log Viewer. To launch these functions, click
on the Windows Start button, then select Programs, then Netgear ProSafe VPN Client, then either
the Connection Monitor or Log Viewer.
The Log Viewer screen for a successful connection is similar to the one shown below:

A sample Connection Monitor screen for a different connection is shown below:
Figure 8-35:
Connection Monitor screen
In this example the following connection options apply:
•
The FWG114P v2 has a public IP WAN address of 66.120.188.153
•
The FWG114P v2 has a LAN IP address of 192.168.0.1
•
The VPN client PC is behind a home NAT router and has a dynamically assigned address
of 192.168.0.3
While the connection is being established, the Connection Name field in this menu will say “SA”
before the name of the connection. When the connection is successful, the “SA” will change to the
yellow key symbol shown in the illustration above.
Viewing the FWG114P v2 VPN Status and Log Information
Information on the status of the VPN client connection can be viewed by opening the FWG114P
v2 VPN Status screen. To view this screen, click the VPN Status link on the FWG114P v2 main
menu.
