DGFV338 ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router Reference Manual Testing the Connection To test the VPN gateway tunnel: 1. From a PC on either LAN firewall, try to ping a PC on the LAN of the other firewall. Establishing the VPN connection may take several seconds. 2. For additional status and troubleshooting information, view VPN Logs and VPN Connections Status screens in the FVX538 or DGFV338. Creating a VPN Client Connection: VPN Client to DGFV338 This section describes how to configure a VPN connection between a Windows PC and the ProSafe DGFV338. Using the DGFV338's VPN Wizard, we will create a single set of VPN Client policies (IKE and VPN) that will allow up to 50 remote PCs to connect from locations in which their IP addresses are unknown in advance. The PCs may be directly connected to the Internet or may be behind NAT routers. If more PCs are to be connected, an additional policy or policies must be created. Each PC will use Netgear's ProSafe VPN Client software. Since the PC's IP address is assumed to be unknown, the PC must always be the Initiator of the connection. This procedure was developed and tested using: • Netgear ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router • Netgear ProSafe VPN Client • NAT router: Netgear FR114P Configuring the DGFV338 1. Select the VPN Wizard. 2. Select the VPN Client radio button for type of VPN connection. 3. Give the client connection a name, such as "home". 4. Enter a value for the pre-shared key. 5. Check either the ADSL or WAN Ethernet radio box to select the WAN interface tunnel. Virtual Private Networking v1.0, April 2007 5-15
