What does a Virtual Private Networking (VPN) connection do?
A VPN connection allows you to use your network drives, as well as Microsoft Outlook to send and receive email on a computer outside of the Rotman network. This document assumes that you have already connected
to the Internet and have already installed a new copy of Microsoft Office 2007. Screenshots are provided for
illustrative purposes only. For more information on how to connect to the Internet, please consult
documentation provided by your Internet Services Provider (ISP).
Note: If your computer has a firewall installed, either software (ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security) or hardware
(on some DSL/Cable Modems), then you may have difficulties connecting to our VPN server and additional network
resources. You are required to adjust the settings on the firewall to allow PPTP traffic (TCP port 1723) to pass
through. For more information, consult the documentation provided by the firewall.
