Connecting to a Network over the Internet


To connect to a company network over the Internet, you can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which provides a secure connection between your computer and the network. The computer you connect to must be configured as a VPN server and must be connected to the Internet. Before you connect, verify that you have the correct name of the host computer and the correct user name and password that have been assigned to you.

Create the VPN Connection

Click the Start button, and choose Connect To from the menu to start the Connect To A Network Wizard. If you don't see the VPN network you want, click Set Up A Connection Or Network.

In the Connect To A Network Wizard, select the Connect To A Workplace option, and then click Next.

Step through the rest of the Connect To A Network Wizard:

  • Click Use My Internet Connection (VPN).

  • Type either the domain name or the IP address that was assigned to you.

  • Enter a name for the connection.

  • Enter the user name and password that were assigned to you for this connection.

  • Click Connect.

When you're verified and connected, use the connection in any way you want.

When you've finished, choose Connect To from the Start menu, select the connection, and click Disconnect.
