software on the ISS server, and choose
ISS client in the server/client
setup screen.
3 Turn on the PC that you want as the new ISS server.
4 Install (or reinstall) the AnyPoint software on the new server PC, and
choose
ISS server in the server/client setup screen.
5 Restart the new ISS server.
6 Restart the other PCs on the network.
Connecting with Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A VPN is an encrypted network that provides a secure private connection,
usually for a corporate network. If you use VPN, note the following:
• We recommend an 802.11b Wireless Gateway, which works with most
VPNs. See
www.intel.com/anypoint for more information.
• Without a gateway, install the AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite,
but choose not to install Internet Sharing Software when prompted. If
users have a Win98 SE (or higher), install Microsoft’s ICS to share
Internet access.
• Do not install the VPN client software on the same computer as the ICS
server (the computer with the Internet connection).
With these considerations in mind, refer to your VPN manual for
installation instructions.
Important: If you use or plan to install a VPN, you will not want to
install Internet Sharing Software (ISS). To optimize your network
with VPN, you may want to consider purchasing a Wireless
Gateway or use Microsoft’s Internet Connection Software (ICS)
provided with windows.
