Hi Rick,

That's a pretty general question, so quite difficult to answer. You probably
need to get some configuration information from the admin of your network,
such as the target address of the VPN Server, etc. Also are you using a
Windows VPN, or does the corporate network require a specific VPN client,
such as the Cisco client? And so on ...

In general terms, you configure a VPN by -

- go to Control Panel, Network and Sharing Centre;
- click "Set up a Connection or network" in the left-hand tasks pane
(green-coloured);
- click on the last option "Connect to a workplace: set up a dial-up or VPN
Connection"
- choose "use my Internet Connection (VPN)"
- plug in the details provided by your network administrator.

Go to the Start menu, choose Help and Support, and search on "VPN" to find
several short help articles covering various aspects of using a VPN.

If you have a more specific problem then I'd recommend you explain the issue
in more detail.

Hope this helps,
