318 Microsoft Windows Server 2008: A Beginner??™s Guide
Although the Windows Vista VPN connection is integrated and automated, it is still
done in two steps, connecting to the Internet and connecting to the VPN server.
Choose a Windows Vista Internet Connection
This is the standard Internet connection discussed elsewhere in the book, so if you have
an Internet connection already that you know works, you can skip to the next section.
1. Click Start | Control Panel, and double-click Network and Sharing Center.
Click Set Up A Connection Or Network.
2. Click Connect To The Internet and click Next. If you have multiple ways to
connect, choose which you want to use to connect and click Next. Depending
on your choice, enter any other information needed for the connection and
click Next as needed, and then click Finish.
3. If you are using a dial-up connection, click Connect and/or Dial as needed to
try out the connection. If all your settings are correct, you should connect. If
not, go back over the preceding three steps and make the necessary corrections.
Leave this connection active for the next set of steps.
Connect to a VPN Server
The VPN connection is just another network connection.
1. If the Network and Sharing Center is not already open, click Start | Control
Panel, and double-click Network and Sharing Center. In the Network and
Sharing Center window, click Set Up A Connection Or Network.
