On dialing out to the Internet, you need to use
as Username and password the values
assigned to you by your ISP.
now we need to know the IP-address of the VPN-server, because we
need to update/define it now in the properties of the VPN-connection:
While you are still connected via the modem to the Internet, start now
the connection for the VPN, using your
network logon username (and password):
Since we now connect to a server,
we need now to use a valid Username
(and password) for a connection to
the VPN-server system.
Important notice:
With VPN, you connect via RAS to a server
"like being connected on a local network".
But when being connected via a local network, it is the Username
(and password) entered during bootup , which defines your network
permissions: And it is the SAME with dialing in
via VPN:
When booting up your VPN-client, you MUST
already get a network
Logon screen and you MUST enter a Username
(and password) valid for
accessing data. My experience: Enter in the Logon-Window and the VPN-"Connect
to"
windows the same Username and password !
(and don't ask: I do NOT know, why
we have to enter this user-information twice)
You can see the communications during the logon process (see the
blinking icon in the taskbar):
You have now 2 connections:
And now your are connected to the VPN-server, as if you would be
on the samenetwork cable, as you can see viewing the Network-
Neighborhood:
Since your "network cable" is now a
little slow, it takes a little longer.
But then it shows your server:
You are now connected ! but everything takes now a little longer, so
get used to:
Don't forget to hang-up on BOTH Dialup-connections, once you are done.
