Instruction for connecting your VPN firewall are in the Installation Guide, FVS336G ProSafe 
Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall with SSL & IPsec VPN.

To use the VPN firewall on your network, each computer must have an installed Ethernet Network 
Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer will connect to your network at 100 
Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) cable such as the one provided with your firewall.

The FVS336G includes a built-in Web Configuration Manager. To access the configuration menus 
on the FVS336G, your must use a Java-enabled Web browser program that supports HTTP 
uploads such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. NETGEAR recommends 
using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily 
available for Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.

For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your firewall, you will need to 
connect a computer to the firewall that is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the 
firewall via DHCP.

The cable or DSL modem broadband access device must provide a standard 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) 
Ethernet interface.
