[plug] VPN questions

[Jon Miller]

If the client is anything like the Cisco VPN client you install it to you OS and edit the conf file to include the ip address of the router you are trying to get to and they should give you a username and password and maybe even a security keycode to put in the conf file.  Then you just run it up and you should be on. Once your VPN connection has been made you should have access to whatever you are allowed to have access to.

Hi,

I've been offered a new job (woot! after 2 years, nearly), and it
requires that I can log in to the employer's network over a VPN client.
Their client runs under Windows only, and I can work.

Since I am totally out of my depth with communications, can anyone give
me the "Noddy's guide to VPN", and also how to get it (the VPN
connection) working under OFOS (Our Favourite Operating System) -
running Windows for anything but games is just TOOOO painful (and ugly).

Thanks
