Before You
Begin

Check with your company’s system administrator to see if a VPN is required
for accessing the corporate network. If you need a VPN, you must purchase
and install a third-party VPN client in order to use this feature. Before you
begin setting up a VPN, ask your system administrator for the following
information:

Your username and password.

Your server’s domain name.

Your server’s TCP/IP settings.

Your server’s host name or IP address.

Did you know?

A common cause of sync problems is the presence of protective software,
such as VPNs or firewalls, on your computer or network. See “The Desktop
Sync Software Does Not Respond to a Sync Attempt” on page 360.
