[QUOTE="mellowship, post: 744439, member: 71313"] So I started a new job recently, and pretty much the whole office works from home on Fridays. I need to be able to access the files located on the company server in order to actually do any work. To do this from home, the IT guy had me install a VPN client on my MacBook (from Cisco, version 4.9.01). The VPN client says it connects to my company's server, but once the connection is established, I don't know what to do. I would expect an icon or something to pop up on my desktop, or something to show up under Network in the finder, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The IT guy doesn't know much about Macs, and couldn't really help me beyond setting up the VPN client. I know nothing about all this computer networking crap, so I have no clue what to do to get this to actually work. I want my work at home fridays! Anybody have any useful insights that might help me figure this out? [/QUOTE]
