Well, this is not a difficult procedure at all. You should run Network setup wizard, and choose the option Connect to the network at my workplace. Then, on the network connection page, you should choose virtual private network option, and click next. Now, you should enter the name for the new VPN , and it doesn’t need to be the same as the name of the actual business network. Then, on the Public network screen you should choose whether the connection will be automatically or dialed or not. You should also enter the IP address of the VPN access server you are going to connect to, and that you can get from your companies network administrators. Then in connection availability you should choose whether it will be used by you only or by all the other users on the net.
