In this tutorial I will explain how to setup a connection to communicate with a VPN server.
After you set up your VPN server at your Local Area Network, you need to set up a client to connect to it. To do this, go to Control Panel - Network Connections and select Create a new connection in the left like shown bellow:
Click next and enter a brief description of that connection. If you have another dial-on-demand type of connection (ADSL, VPN, Dialup) configured on your computer, you could be prompted to dial it before you dial the current one. Choose the not do dial an initial connection unless desired.
Click next and you are done. If you want, you can also add a shortcut to the connection on your desktop.
If it's all ok, you should get connected, aquiring a virtual IP address from the VPN server; your computer can then operate like he was physically in the remote local area network.
