In the Virtual Adapter box, you can configure the client to use a virtual adapter to handle
private IP addressing. If certain programs that work with the client are “IP address-aware,”
your computer is assigned a private Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server address,
or both, you may need to do this.
In the Virtual Adapter box, click an option:
• Disabled—No virtual adapter is used. This is the default.
• Required—When the client tries to launch the connection with the virtual adapter, IP
address-aware programs know the assigned address for the virtual adapter and use it as the
source IP address. If the launch fails, the connection attempt fails.
• Preferred—Uses the same procedure as Required with one exception: if the connection
launch using the virtual adapter IP address fails, the client uses address substitution to
dynamically change the server IP address throughout the session.
7. If you selected the Allow to Specify Internal Network Address check box when you
Configured Global Policy Settings, and the Internal Network IP Address box opens, type an
IP address in it.
8. In the Internet Interface group, in the Name box, click the interface for your computer to use
to connect to a network. The default, Any, enables your computer to select any available
interface.
For devices with associated IP addresses, the IP Addr box shows the IP address.
Caution: If the Name box contains an entry other than Any, do not change it. This was
configured by your network security administrator. The only instance in which you may need
to change this entry is to assist your network security administrator in troubleshooting
connection problems.
