This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the first DG834G v3. After between several
seconds and two minutes, the ping response should change from “timed out” to “reply.”

Once the connection is established, you can open the browser of the PC and enter the LAN IP
address of the remote DG834G v3. After a short wait, you should see the login screen of the
Modem Router (unless another PC already has the DG834G v3 management interface open).

Information on the progress and status of the VPN client connection can be viewed by opening
the NETGEAR ProSafe Log Viewer.

To launch this function, click on the Windows Start button, then select Programs, then
NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client, then Log Viewer. The Log Viewer screen for a successful
connection is shown below:

Note: Use the active VPN tunnel information and pings to determine whether a failed

connection is due to the VPN tunnel or some reason outside the VPN tunnel.
