To connect to a private network through the Internet, you must authenticate the connection request:
Systems with cable or DSL modems are usually connected to the Internet, so no additional action is necessary. Skip to "Authenticating to Connect to the Private Network."
Systems with modems or ISDN modems must connect to the Internet via Dial-Up Networking:
If you connect to the Internet via Dial-up Networking, proceed to "Using the VPN Client to Connect to the Internet via Dial-Up Networking."
If you must manually connect to the Internet, do it now. When your connection is established, skip to "Authenticating to Connect to the Private Network."
If your system is already connected to the Internet via Dial-Up Networking, skip to "Authenticating to Connect to the Private Network."
