If you're on the road or working at home for the day, you might need to connect to your office network to check email or get some files. To do that, you need to create a connection to your workplace network. To do this in Windows Vista, open the Network Center and, in the task pane, click the Set Up a Connection or Network link, click Connect to a Workplace, and then click Next. Vista displays a dialog box. You have two choices:

  • Use My Internet Connection (VPN) Click this option to connect over the Internet using a virtual private networking connection. If you choose this option, Vista asks you to enter the URL or IP address of the VPN server, as well as a username and password. Click Connect when you're done.

  • Dial Directly Click this option to connect using your computer's modem and a phone line. In this case, you specify the phone number and your username and password, and then click Connect.
