Step 2: Configuring the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the
Remote PC
This procedure describes how to configure the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client. We will assume
the PC running the client has a dynamically assigned IP address.
The PC must have the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client program installed that supports IPSec. Go
to the NETGEAR website (
lect VPN01L_VPN05L in the Product
Quick Find drop-down menu for information on how to purchase the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN
Client.
1.
Install the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the remote PC and reboot.
•
You may need to insert your Windows CD to complete the installation.
•
If you do not have a modem or dial-up adapter installed in your PC, you may see the
warning message stating “The NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Component requires at least one
dial-up adapter be installed.” You can disregard this message.
•
Install the IPSec Component. You may have the option to install either the VPN Adapter
or the IPSec Component or both. The VPN Adapter is not necessary.
•
The system should show the ProSafe icon (
) in the system tray after rebooting.
•
Double-click the system tray icon to open the Security Policy Editor.
2.
Add a new connection.
•
Run the NETGEAR ProSafe Security Policy Editor program and, using the
Configuration Worksheet” on page 7-8
, create a VPN Connection.
•
From the Edit menu of the Security Policy Editor, click Add, then Connection. A “New
Connection” listing appears in the list of policies. Rename the “New Connection” so that it
matches the Connection Name you entered in the VPN Settings of the DG834 on LAN A.
Note:
Before installing the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software, be sure to turn off
any virus protection or firewall software you may be running on your PC.
