I want to connect to my companie's intranet from home and it's possible I am told via VPN. What would I need to install on my home computer? What costs would it run me?

Go to help and support on the start tab and type in VPN. It will instruct you on how to connect.

yeah, you have to ask the computer support people at work. Windows XP has vpn capability built in, but since my university uses propriety hardware (Cisco), I need to install Cisco software to be able to create a VPN connection (Cisco + Windows XP = BAD, so I don't use vpn even though it's available)

yes sir, most of your finer companies would have a firewall installed of some sort. so you'll need the neccessary software to pass-thru that.
talk to the network dudes at work.... they will provide direction, if there is a VPN solution there

A follow-up to an earlier post. I tried to install Cisco VPN Client v3.5 on my home computer which runs XP Home Edition. The install hangs when it states it's examining my network connections, it never finishes. I ultimately reboot my machine and now I cannot surf. In fact, it appears that I do not have a network adapter connected, I cannot view the properties of my nic. What can I do to undo whatever the Cisco VPN Client install did to my network capabilities? Thanks.
