HERE'S WHERE WE PUT VISTA INSTRUCTIONS
Bring up the control panel by clicking on Start -> Control Panel. If the control panel is in Classic View as shown below, then click in Category View to see the simplified panel.
From the Category View click on Network and Internet Connections
Now click on Network Connections from the or pick a control panel icon section
Select the Create a new connection from the menu on the left of the screen
You should now see the New Connection Wizard click next to start.
Select Connect to the workplace at my work and click next to continue.
Select Virtual Private Network as the connection type and click next to continue.
Give the new VPN connection a name and click next to continue.
If you already have a dialup or VPN connection setup on your laptop you will now be asked if you want to always dial one of these existing connections before you make the VPN connection. Because we are going to be using a wireless link to get internet connectivity select Do not dial the initial connection and click next to continue. If you don't already have a dialup or VPN connection setup then this screen will not appear, and you will go straight to the next screen.
Now enter either the hostname your ISP has given you, or the IP address they've given you and click next to continue. If you don't have a static IP address, then it may be easier to use Dynamic DNS such as from dyndns.com to give you a static hostname for your dynamic address.
Now click finish and your new VPN connection will be ready to use.
Now, go to the top of this page to click
on one of the "Moisture Mirror" links...
You are now viewing an up-to-date reading of a
Moisture Mirror at SJI!
When you are ready to disconnect from
the VPN, right click on the VPN Tunnel icon at the bottom right corner
of your monitor, and select Disconnect VPN Tunnel, or simply
close out of the Netgear window.
