This procedure describes how to configure the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client. We will assume 
the PC running the client has a dynamically assigned IP address.

The PC must have the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client program installed that supports IPSec. Go 
to the NETGEAR website (

) and select VPN01L_VPN05L in the Product 

Quick Find drop-down menu for information on how to purchase the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN 
Client.

1.

Install the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client on the remote PC and reboot.

You may need to insert your Windows CD to complete the installation.

If you do not have a modem or dial-up adapter installed in your PC, you may see the 
warning message stating “The NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Component requires at least one 
dial-up adapter be installed.” You can disregard this message.

Install the IPSec Component. You may have the option to install either the VPN Adapter

any virus protection or firewall software you may be running on your PC.
