Downloading the
Client
You can download the Virtual Private Networking (VPN) client
software (and the user guide and release notes, if you so wish) for
Windows 2000 and XP from the links below. You will need a Directory Username and
Password in order to download the software.
Using the Client
Use the VPN client whenever you need to access UMCP Internet
resources or (if you use the UMCP wireless network) when you
want to encrypt your Internet communications.
The first time you use the client, you should confirm that it
is working properly by activating the VPN client and then
visiting the following web page:
http://noc.net.umd.edu/cgi-bin/netmgr/whoami
...If the VPN client is working properly, this web page will
tell you that your are using an IP address in the format
128.8.xxx.xxx (where "xxx" is any number).
If You Run Into
Problems Using the Client
If you run into problems using the client on your system,
first check the user guide and the release notes to see if
your problem is mentioned in either of those documents.
If the problem you are encountering is not listed, then check
our web page on known issues
with the VPN client to see if you have encountered a
known problem with running the client on your particular
system, your particular ISP, or with your particular
networking software.
