Hi, No; the VPN runs as a network, there shouldn't be anything else you need to do other than log in using user cridentials etc. Windows ME may not connect to it, though, and work may insist of tougher security (an insecure desktop connecting to a VPN is one really good way of infecting every PC in work). The one issue could be if they use some form of challenge/response system that requires a random number to be entered, this is usually generated via a keyring device that gives you a number on the LCD screen, however, these seem to be less and less popular these days.

On the phone they said that because I have Windows ME, the software they need isn't built in, so they will instal something. They also mentioned a virtual private network. Is there anything I need to be aware of in terms of accessibility?
