I am trying to connect to a VPN from my home computer, as opposed to my work computer which already has the network info set up. I have received instructions on connecting from a mac, but since I don't have that I'm trying to do the equivalent on my PC. I know the:

server
group name
secret

and my own login account and password

Using the Windows 7 VPN, there's space for:

Internet address
destination name
user name password
domain (optional)

I'm trying to determine what's what. I assume the internet address is the server. I've tried using the "secret" as the Password, b/c i'd think the first part is connecting to the VPN as opposed to logging in. It still wants a user name though. I tried mine, I tried the "group name".

I would appreciate your help with this.

Thanks!
