I am having problem connecting to my company network from home using VPN. By the way I am a newbie. Here are the scenarios: (1) The company has a wireless modem and a wireless WRT54G Linksys Router which a desktop pc is connected
(2) At home I have a wireless laptop, modem and a Belkin wireless G
Router. (3) My problem is that I cannot connect the VPN from home. My laptop will connect when I am work only. So please can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or what should be done. I am a bit challenged.

And see if they support VPN's.

If they do then allow them to setup your Home system with all the necessary security to prevent [b]Data Theft or internal Network Destruction[/b] through a unsecured outside computer tapping into the system.

After that it all should be smooth sailing though the IT Department will most likely require regular visits of your Home System to make sure that the Security is being kept up to date and installing any new security measures when they become available.

I don't have a IT Department at work. This is a small business just getting started (7 Mos)and instead of using logmein I wanted to learn how to setup VPN and use it.

So it doesn't infect the Work LAN as connecting through a VPM will override the in place security and leave the LAN susceptible to attack and loss of control of the data at best. At worst it can lead to the destruction of the data and bankrupting the company.

[b]Are you sure that you want to do this and be liable for anything that may go wrong?[/b]

If you just must go ahead with this risky business here are M$ methods on setting up a VPM
