Activate the VPN Tunnel by Pinging the Remote Endpoint

Note: This section uses 192.168.3.1 for an example remote endpoint LAN IP address.

To activate the VPN tunnel by pinging the remote endpoint (e.g., 192.168.3.1), do the following steps depending on whether your configuration is client-to-gateway or gateway-to-gateway:

•Client-to-GatewayConfiguration—to check the VPN Connection, you can initiate a request from the remote PC to the DG834G v3’s network by using the “Connect” option in the NETGEAR ProSafe menu bar. The NETGEAR ProSafe client will report 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.
