Installing
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
