Client-to-gateway configuration. To check the VPN connection, you can initiate a request
from the remote PC to the DG834Gv5’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.

a. Establish an Internet connection from the PC.
b. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.
