<DIV>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.</DIV>

>>><BR>Hi,<BR><BR>I've been offered a new job (woot! after 2 years,
nearly), and it<BR>requires that I can log in to the employer's network over a
VPN client.<BR>Their client runs under Windows only, and I can
work.<BR><BR>Since I am totally out of my depth with communications, can anyone
give<BR>me the "Noddy's guide to VPN", and also how to get it (the
VPN<BR>connection) working under OFOS (Our Favourite Operating System)
-<BR>running Windows for anything but games is just TOOOO painful (and
ugly).<BR><BR>Thanks<BR>-- <BR>Richard Meyer
