b. 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.
c. Install the IPSec Component. You may have the option to install either the VPN Adapter
or the IPSec Component or both. The VPN Adapter is not necessary.
d. The system should show the ProSafe icon ( ) in the system tray after rebooting.
e. Double-click the system tray icon to open the Security Policy Editor.
2. Add a new connection.
a. Run the NETGEAR ProSafe Security Policy Editor program and create a VPN
Connection.
b. From the Edit menu of the Security Policy Editor, click Add, then Connection. A New
Connection listing appears in the list of policies. Rename the New Connection so that it
matches the Connection Name you entered in the VPN Settings of the DG834G on
Gateway A.
Note: In this example, the Connection Name used on the client side of the VPN tunnel is
toDG834G and it does not have to match the VPN_client Connection Name used on the
gateway side of the VPN tunnel (see Figure F-16) because Connection Names are
arbitrary to how the VPN tunnel functions.
Tip: Choose Connection Names that make sense to the people using and administrating
the VPN.
