8. Check the VPN connection.
To check the VPN Connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the
DG834Gv5 modem router’s network by using the Connect option in the NETGEAR ProSafe
menu bar. The NETGEAR ProSafe client reports 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, and then click OK.
This causes a continuous ping to be sent to the first DG834Gv5. After between several
seconds and two minutes, the ping response should change from timed out to reply.
Once the connection is established, you can open a browser on the PC and enter the LAN IP
address of the remote DG834Gv5. After a short wait, you should see the login screen of the
modem router (unless another PC already has the DG834Gv5 management interface open).
You can view information about the progress and status of the VPN client connection by
opening the NETGEAR ProSafe Log Viewer.
