server through the company's firewall (security layer). You need to set up
a VPN to access a corporate server in any of the following situations:
• Your company's wireless local area network (LAN) is outside the
firewall.
• Your company's wireless LAN is inside the firewall, but you are
accessing the network from outside the firewall (for example, from a
public location or at home).
Check with your company's system administrator to see if a VPN is
