Configure PCs to use SnapGear VPN Router Internet gateway
The PCs on your network must be configured to use the SnapGear VPN Router as the default
gateway for Internet access. See the section Configuring the PCs on your network (Chapter 2) for
details on how this is done.
Establishing the connection
At this point, if you are using a modem or ISDN connection to your ISP, the SnapGear VPN Router
will place a call automatically whenever an application requires access to the Internet (e.g. sending
e-mail, browsing the web).
To establish the connection:
1. From any PC on the network, launch a browser application such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator.
2. SnapGear VPN Router will dial the ISP and log in. On the front panel, you will see the relevant
COM LED flash as the connection is established.
3. The ONLINE LED will light when the Internet link is set up and your browser will display the
default Home page.
4. If Dial-on-demand/Idle time has been enabled, SnapGear VPN Router will also disconnect from
the Internet when the connection has been idle for the specified period.
Connect to the Internet
Should the dial up connection to the Internet fail, you can specify
how many further dial attempts should be made before
discontinuing in Max Connection Attempts, and how many seconds
to wait between these redial attempts in Time Between Redials.
The majority of Internet providers dynamically assign your
connection an IP address when you dial in; however, some use
statically pre-assigned addresses. If your ISP has given you a static
IP address, enter it in Local IP Address and the address of the ISP
gateway in Remote IP Address.
