5� secure Connections, VPns, and aol
Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and

are used where security is important� Secure connections include:

•

Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect

remotely to an office network

•

The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL),

which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another

cable or DSL service

•

Most online banking websites

•

Many commercial websites that require a user name and password

to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power

management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep�” The easiest

solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or

AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website�

A second alternative is to change your computer’s power management

settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this may not be appropriate

for portable computers� To change your power management setting

under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel�

If you continue to have difficulty with secure connections, VPNs, and

AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed

these issues�
