I have an XP Prof. Tablet PC. When i first got it 2 days ago. I went into Network connections and the wizard allowed me to create varius connections including VPN with BroadBand. Now I do not see that wizard anymore. How can I create a VPN connection using my wizard for cable connection ?
What I have now is a LAN connection with NIC
Dial-Up VPN connection with modem
Dial-Up VPN connection with my Wireless Sprint PCS card.

I need one more and that is a VPN connection from home which uses cable connecton. Help ?

Questions;

1. Is your workplace on the internet?

2. Does it have a firewall installed?

3. Do you have VPN software installed for remote access to the Intranet?

Answers

1. Can not IP to a non-internet IP.

2. Firewall will block remote access for understandable reasons.

3. Without VPN being installed on the server will block remote access.

Dial-up VPN, Hummm, sounds like modem only access to the network (intranet). Very hard to get to from the internet.

Thanks for the relpy OTL,
I have a firewall and VPN setup at our end. My question is how do I setup a Windows XP Prof. computer with a VPN connection using a DSL connection and Cable connection ? XP did have varius wizards allowing me to setup the XP to a VPN location which I already have setup at work.
