 NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Client
VPN Tunnel Overview 
You can configure a computer as a VPN client. The computer can use the VPN tunnel to 
connect to a remote corporate LAN through a VPN gateway and for peer-to-peer 
connections. The remote gateway or peer must be configured to accept VPN clients.
The VPN tunnel in the following figure is set up with these characteristics:
The VPN client computer uses a dynamically provided public IP address.
The VPN client computer connects to the remote corporate LAN behind a VPN gateway 
with a DNS address name gateway.mydomain.com.
The corporate LAN address is 192.168.1.xxx, that is, the VPN client computer can 
access a server with the IP address 192.168.1.100.
