Setting up the Properties of your VPN Connection


Now that you have your VPN connection established, you need to setup the connection by following these next few steps from the screens provided.  This setup in this example is for the Windows XP version, so Windows 2000 and 98 will look a little different than this but it's ok, compare and mirror the majority of the settings that you see here that are available and it will work fine.

Place your mouse over your new BCEVPN connection in Network Connections, and choose Properties.  Complete your screens just like these next few screen captures.



 


















If you can't connect, and get a 691, then delete the BCEVPN connection and try setting it up again or ensure that you have typed in your username and password correctly into the space provided.
