Setting Up a VPN Server Connection
A VPN connection helps you to securely connect to servers, such as a
corporate network, via the Internet.
Before you begin, obtain the following information from your network
administrator:
•
user name
•
password
•
domain name
•
TCP/IP settings
•
host name or IP address of the VPN server
To set up a VPN server connection:
1.
Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.
2.
Under My Work Network, tap Add a new VPN server
connection and follow the instructions in the New Connection
wizard.
3.
Under most circumstances, you should not need to change any
advanced settings. However, you must change advanced settings
when:
•
•
If either of these circumstances applies, from the My VPN screen,
tap the Advanced button and fill in the appropriate information.
Tap OK to save the changes and return to the My VPN screen.
4.
To view additional information for any screen in the wizard or
while changing settings, tap the Help question mark.
The server to which you are connecting does not use
dynamically-assigned addresses, and you need to enter your
TCP/IP settings.
You need to change server DNS or WINS settings.
