To check the VPN connection.
Initiate a request from the remote PC to the FVG318’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.

1. Establish an Internet connection from the PC.
2. On the Windows tasteable, click the Start button, and then click Run.
3. Type ping -t 192.168.3.1 , and then click OK.
