Configure Microsoft VPN Adapter for remote access to the Igaware Server Appliance

[Windows XP] [Windows 2000] [Windows 95/98]

Note: As a VPN connection is an extension of your Office network, similar if not the same security measures should be followed to guard your computer from intruders. This is normally performed by the company firewall server when you are connected while in the office but is no longer the case when you are at home. Your exposure to the internet in this case should be taken into your company's security policy.

A Personal Firewall and Personal Antivirus program should be installed on your home / mobile PC.

If you do have a personal firewall installed you may need to change settings to enable VPN access.
