Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Router DG834
To check the VPN Connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the DG834
v3's network by using the "Connect" option in the NETGEAR ProSafe menu bar. The
NETGEAR ProSafe client will report the results of the attempt to connect. Since the remote
PC has a dynamically assigned WAN IP address, it must 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 click Run.
c. Type
ping -t 192.168.3.1
Figure 7-16
This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the first DG834 v3. After between several
seconds and two minutes, the ping response should change from "timed out" to "reply."
Figure 7-17
Once the connection is established, you can open the browser of the PC and enter the LAN IP
address of the remote DG834 v3. After a short wait, you should see the login screen of the Modem
Router (unless another PC already has the DG834 v3 management interface open).
