Quick Installation Guide


This CD contains the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN client product.

System Requirements

Installing

Be sure to read the Release Notes. Before installing the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client software, read this document for technical issues concerning this release.

  1. If you're installing this product on Windows NT or Windows 2000 or XP, log on as administrator or its equivalent.

  2. Run the setup.exe file on the installation CD-ROM at d:\Software\Setup\setup.exe, where d:\ is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

  3. Work through the installation wizard. Unless otherwise instructed, accept the defaults.

    Note: The SafeNet VPN Adapter, which supports L2TP, is installed only when these network components are already installed on your computer:

    Operating system Component
    Windows 95 Dial-Up Networking with the Microsoft Dial-Up
     Networking 1.3 Upgrade
    Windows 98 and Me Dial-Up Networking
    Windows NT Remote Access Server (RAS)

    Because Windows 2000 and XP use the native Windows L2TP adapter, the SafeNet L2TP adapter isn't installed on computers running these operating systems.

  4. When the installation completes, click Finish.

  5. To complete the client installation, make sure that your computer restarts.
