Activating the VPN Tunnel by Pinging the Remote Endpoint
Note: This section uses 192.168.3.1 for a sample remote endpoint LAN IP
address.
To activate the VPN tunnel by pinging the remote endpoint (for example, 192.168.3.1),
perform the following steps depending on whether your configuration is client-to-gateway or
gateway-to-gateway:
• Client-to-gateway configuration. To check the VPN connection, you can initiate a
request from the remote PC to the N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem

menu bar. The NETGEAR ProSafe client reports the results of the attempt to connect.

request.

a. Establish an Internet connection from the PC.
b. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, and then select Run.
c. Type ping -t 192.168.3.1, and then click OK.
