Setting up a VPN client

by Codewiz51 October 27, 2008 20:23

Our satellite office finally has a VPN installed. Simple enough eh? Not if you are me:

  1. Friday afternoon, before leaving office, copy VPN client software to flash drive. 
  2. Place installation instructions in book satchel, leave flash drive plugged into office computer and drive home.
  3. Saturday evening, sit down at home computer, remove installation instructions from book satchel.
  4. Spend 30 minutes looking for flash drive before realizing it is back at the office.
  5. Give up and enjoy rest of weekend.
  6. Monday, place flash drive in satchel first thing in morning.
  7. Hurry home and install software.
  8. Software installation is successful.
  9. Try to connect to office computer, but fail.
  10. Realize that remote access is disabled on office computer.
  11. Realize that I cannot connect to office computer with computer name, I need an ip address.
  12. Mutter foul tasting words under breath.
  13. Wonder if bringing work home on flash drive isn't easier.
  14. Start new adventure on Tuesday to complete VPN software connection.
