To check the VPN Connection, you can initiate a request from one network to the other. If one
FVM318 has a dynamically assigned WAN IP address, you must initiate the request from that
FVM318's network. The simplest method is to ping the LAN IP address of the other FVM318.
Using our example, from a PC attached to the FVM318 on LAN A, on the Windows
a.
taskbar click the Start button, and then click Run.

This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the first FVM318. After between several
c.
seconds and two minutes, the ping response should change from "timed out" to "reply."

At this point the connection is established. Now that your VPN connection is working,
whenever a PC on the second LAN needs to access an IP address on the first LAN, the
firewalls will automatically establish the connection.

Procedure 5-2: Configuring a Remote PC to Network VPN

This procedure describes linking a remote PC and a LAN. The LAN will connect to the Internet
using an FVM318 with a fixed IP address. The PC can be connected to the Internet through dialup,
cable or DSL modem, or other means, and we will assume it has a dynamically assigned IP
address. The PC must have a VPN client program that supports IPSec. NETGEAR recommends
and supports the SafeNet SoftRemote (or Soft-PK) Secure VPN Client for Windows, Version 5 or
later. The SafeNet VPN Client can be purchased from SafeNet at http://www.safenet-inc.com.
