3 Open a web browser (like Internet Explorer) to connect to the ZyWALL P1’s LAN IP 

address (http://192.168.167.1 in this example). 

4 The user mode screen for VPN authentication displays. Enter the user name 

"SalesManager" and password "Manager1234". Click Activate.

5 ZyWALL B automatically initiates and negotiates the VPN tunnel with ZyWALL A 

after you pass the authentication. A successful screen displays. Click Return.

6 Send a ping from the telecommuter’s computer (IP address 192.168.167.2) to a device 

on the office network (X), for example 10.0.0.2. You should get a response.

To do this in most Windows computers, click Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter 
ping

 followed by the IP address of a computer on network X. Here is an example.

If there is no reply to the ping, the system log can help identify a configuration problem. Click 
LOGS to see the system log. See 

 for information on the log messages. 

You may need to click LOGS > Log Settings in the advanced web configurator and make 
sure IKE and IPSec logging is enabled at both ends. You can clear the existing log and re-
attempt to build the tunnel (this makes it easier to identify the relevant logs).
