After you have configured and saved the VPN client information, your PC will automatically
open the VPN connection when you attempt to access any IP addresses in the range of the
remote VPN firewall's LAN.
1. Check the VPN Connection.
To check the VPN Connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the FVG318'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.

c. Type
