6.24.2 VPN Connection Setup
A VPN connection provides a secure connection to servers through the Internet.
Before you begin, you need the following information from your network
administrator: password, domain name, TCP/IP settings and a host name or IP
address of the VPN server.
1. Tap on Start, Settings. Tap on the Connections tab followed by the
Connections icon.
2. Under My Work Network, tap on Add a new VPN server connection.
3. In the Name field, type a name for this connection.
4. In Host name/IP, type the VPN server name or IP address.
5. In the VPN type drop-down menu, choose the type of authentication for your
WORKABOUT PRO: IPSec/L2TP or PPTP. Your network administrator
will let you know which option applies to your unit.
6. Tap on Next.
7. Choose the type of authentication in this screen. If you choose A pre-shared
key, type the key provided by your network administrator.
8. Tap on Next.
9. Type your user name, password and domain name. If a domain name was
not provided to you, try the connection without entering a domain name.
Note: Normally, you will not need to change any advanced settings. You will
need to make changes only under only the following circumstances:
The server to which you are connecting does not dynamically assign
addresses, and TCP/IP settings need to be entered.
Server DNS or WINS settings need to be changed.
If you need to edit the Advanced settings, refer to “Advanced Modem Set-
tings” on page 161 for details about this tab.
10. Tap on Finish.
11. Launch a program like Internet Explorer to activate the connection. The
VPN connection will start automatically.
