VPN User Requirements
1. User’s system must be running Windows 2000
Professional or Windows XP Professional.
2. A "broadband" or equivalent Internet
connection is required. This includes a DSL or Cable
connection to the Internet.
3. User’s home network must be protected by a
hardware firewall such as any version of the Linksys
Cable/DSL firewall. Brand is NOT important, but we
have extensive and favorable experience with those
produced by Linksys (http://www.linksys.com).
While we can not provide technical support for your
purchase, IT can assist you with configuration needs
in deciding your purchase.
4. User MUST have their PC verified as being
free of all viruses/worms/spyware. To verify this we
stipulate:
a. User must have current anti‑virus software
running and updated. We provide McAfee. Click on this
link:
Mcafee VirusScan Software
b. User should regularly run spyware checking
software to clean out spyware. Some options available
are SpyBot and Ad-aware.
5. User must configure VPN setup so that non‑UHV
traffic does NOT flow through the UHV VPN connection.
See (Configure
VPN for UHV traffic W2K) for Windows 2000
and (Configure
VPN for UHV traffic XP) for Windows XP to
accomplish this.
