Instructions for setting up a VPN connection

using the VPN Connectoid and EasyDrive2

A VPN Connectoid is a program for automatically setting up a VPN connection with the minimum of intervention from the user.

The VPN Connectoid for the Sixth Form College, Farnborough also contains within it a copy of the EasyDrive2 program for accessing resources on the College network over a VPN connection.

The VPN Connectoid displays step-by-step instructions as it runs and should automatically launch EasyDrive2 once an active VPN connection has been established.

Four versions of the VPN Connectoid are available:

• for the 32 bit version of Windows XP
• for the 64 bit version of Windows XP
• for the 32 bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7
• for the 64 bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7

Answers to some frequently asked questions about the College's VPN service.

The names and IP addresses of the College's current VPN servers can always be found here (last updated on Friday 2 July 2010). Your VPN connectoid should update automatically to use the current VPN servers but you may need to adjust your ADSL modem depending on make and model.
