如何在连接到VPN服务器从Windows XP -简单说明

This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to set up everything in Windows XP to allow you to connect to an office (or other) VPN server.本教程将引导您完成所需的步骤都设立在Windows XP中，让您连接到一个办公室（或其他） VPN服务器。

The very concept behind a V irtual P rivate N etwork is to allow a remote user network access just as if it were local to the private network.这一概念后面虚拟P私人ñ网络是允许远程用户网络接入一样，如果是本地的私人网络。 This means a VPN does not only consist of being able to connect to the network, however being able to connect securely plays a vital role as well.这意味着一个VPN不仅包括可以连接到网络，但是能够安全地连接起着至关重要的作用。 A VPN is the current standard for providing access as well as security.一个VPN是当前的标准提供服务以及安全性。 In order to accomplish its purpose, a VPN must emulate a direct network connection.为了达到其目的，一个VPN必须效仿的直接网络连接。 This means it must provide both the same level of access and the same level of security.这意味着必须同时提供同等的机会和同等水平的安全性。 Basically I like to think of a VPN as a way to “piggy back” over the Internet to create secure connections.基本上我认为一个VPN ，以此来“背驮回”在互联网上建立安全连接。

Currently Windows XP provides a certain level of security by using Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) .目前Windows XP中提供了某种程度的安全使用点对点隧道协议（ PPTP ）或第二层隧道协议（ L2TP ） 。 They are both considered tunneling protocols –because they create a “virtual tunnel” by applying much needed encryption.他们都认为隧道协议，因为他们创建一个“虚拟隧道”运用急需的加密技术。
