In the PC Name, put in the name of the computer or the IP Address that we have provided to you. In the Friend Name, enter something like My Office Computer or the Computer Name if you connect to several different machines. You will not need to change any of the other settings in order to connect. Now, scroll down the settings a little.
Sometimes you will need to set the Gateway settings, but this will only need to be done if we provide you that information. As for the other settings, we do not need to make any more changes to them. Click on the Save text up the top right of the window to save the settings.
You should now see a new computer connection called My Office Computer. To connect to this, make sure you have connected your VPN connection first, and then tap on the computer to connect to it.
