Appendix C: Using the Linksys QuickVPN Software for
Windows 2000 or XP

Overview

The Linksys Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router offers a free QuickVPN software program for computers running
Windows 2000 or XP. (Computers running other operating systems will have to use a third-party VPN software
program.) This guide describes how to install and use the Linksys QuickVPN software.

Before You Begin

The QuickVPN software program only works with a Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router that meets these two
criteria: 1) it is running firmware version 2.36 or higher, and 2) it MUST be properly configured to accept a
QuickVPN connection. If you need to upgrade the Router’s firmware or configure it for a QuickVPN connection,
refer to “Appendix H: Upgrading Firmware.”

After you have verified that the Router is ready for a QuickVPN connection, make sure you have the necessary
information: user name, password, and server address for your QuickVPN connection. If you do not have this
information, contact your system administrator.
