Model FVL328 ProSafe High-Speed VPN Firewall Reference Manual Revision 2 6. The IP Address to connect to this device is used to manage this router via the Internet. You need its public IP Address, as seen from the Internet. This public IP Address is allocated by your ISP, and is shown here. But if your ISP account uses a Dynamic IP Address, the address can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are 2 solutions to this problem: a. Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address. b. Use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature so you can connect using a domain name, rather than an IP address. 7. Click Apply to have your changes take effect. When accessing your router from the Internet, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) will be enabled. You will enter https:// and type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, enter in your browser: https://134.177.0.123:8080 Note: When you remotely connect to the FVL with a browser via SSL, you may get a message regarding the SSL certificate. If you are using a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, simply click Yes to accept the certificate. Tip: If you are using a dynamic DNS service such as TZO, you can always identify the IP address of your FVL328 by running TRACERT from the Windows Start menu Run option. For example, tracert yourFVL328.mynetgear.net and you will see the IP address your ISP has currently assigned to the FVL328.
