Notes

To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
After you connect, the After Dial Terminal window appears and prompts you from the remote computer display. You then use this window to log on to the remote computer. After you have completed all interactions with the remote computer, click Done. At this point, authentication on the remote access server begins.
If the logon sequence does not vary, you can write a script that automatically passes information to the remote computer during the logon sequence, which enables completely automatic connections.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
