Step 5: Create a Tunnel Through the Web-Based Utility
1. Open your web browser, and enter 192.168.1.1 in the Address field. Press the Enter key.
2. When the User name and Password field appears, enter the default the user name and password admin.
Press the Enter key.

down box. Then click Enabled. Enter the name of the tunnel in the Tunnel Name field. This is to allow you to
identify multiple tunnels and does not have to match the name used at the other end of the tunnel.
5. Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the local VPN Router in the Local Secure Group fields. To allow
access to the entire IP subnet, enter 0 for the last set of IP Addresses. (e.g. 192.168.1.0).
6. Enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask of the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel (the remote VPN Router
or device with which you wish to communicate) in the Remote Security Gateway fields.
7. Select fromtwo different types of encryption: DES or 3DES (3DES is recommended because it is more secure).
You may choose either of these, but it must be the same type of encryption that is being used by the VPN
device at the other end of the tunnel. Or, you may choose not to encrypt by selecting Disable.
8. Select from two types of authentication: MD5 and SHA (SHA is recommended because it is more secure). As
with encryption, either of these may be selected, provided that the VPN device at the other end of the tunnel
is using the same type of authentication. Or, both ends of the tunnel may choose to Disable authentication.
9. Select the Key Management. Select Auto (IKE) and enter a series of numbers or letters in the Pre-shared Key
field. Check the box next to PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) to ensure that the initial key exchange and IKE
proposals are secure. You may use any combination of up to 24 numbers or letters in this field. No special
characters or spaces are allowed. In the Key Lifetime field, you may optionally select to have the key expire at
the end of a time period of your choosing. Enter the number of seconds you’d like the key to be useful, or
leave it blank for the key to last indefinitely.
10. Click the Save Settings button to save these changes.
Your tunnel should now be established.

Appendix D: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your
Ethernet Adapter
This section describes how to find the MAC address for your computer’s Ethernet adapter so you can use the MAC
filtering and/or MAC address cloning feature of the Router. You can also find the IP address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter. This IP address is used for the Router’s filtering, forwarding, and/or DMZ features. Follow the
steps in this appendix to find the adapter’s MAC or IP address in Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP.
Windows 98 or Me Instructions
1. Click Start and Run. In the Open field, enter winipcfg. Then press the Enter key or the OK button.
2. When the IP Configuration screen appears, select the Ethernet adapter you have connected to the Router via a
CAT 5 Ethernet network cable. See Figure E-1.
3. Write down the Adapter Address as shown on your computer screen (see Figure E-2). This is the MAC address
for your Ethernet adapter and is shown as a series of numbers and letters.
The MAC address/Adapter Address is what you will use for MAC address cloning or MAC filtering.
The example in Figure E-3 shows the Ethernet adapter’s IP address as 192.168.1.100. Your computer may
show something different.

Appendix E: SNMP Functions
Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
Appendix E: SNMP Functions
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely-used network monitoring and control protocol. Data is
passed from a SNMP agent, such as the VPN Router, to the workstation console used to oversee the network.
The Router then returns information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data
structure that defines what is obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).
SNMP functions, such as statistics, configuration, and device information, are not available without third-party
Management Software. The Router is compatible with all HP Openview compliant software.

Follow these instructions:
1. Click the Browse button to find the firmware upgrade file that you downloaded from the Linksys website and
then extracted.
2. Double-click the firmware file you downloaded and extracted. Click the Upgrade button, and follow the
instructions there.

Appendix G: Windows Help
Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
Appendix G: Windows Help
All wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in the world and
comes with many features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed through Windows
Help and are described in this appendix.
TCP/IP
Before a computer can communicate with the Access Point, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of
instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a network. This is true for wireless networks as well.
Your PCs will not be able to utilize wireless networking without having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides
complete instructions on enabling TCP/IP.
Shared Resources
If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your network, Windows Help provides complete instructions on
utilizing shared resources.
Network Neighborhood/My Network Places
Other PCs on your network will appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network Places (depending upon the
version of Windows you're running). Windows Help provides complete instructions on adding PCs to your
network.
