Appendixes 1 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: 2 • Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect remotely to an office network 3 • The "Bring Your Own Access" program from America Online (AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by 4 another cable or DSL service • Most online banking websites 5 • Many commercial websites that require a user name and password to access your account 6 Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer's power management setting, which causes it to "go to sleep." The simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN 7 or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website. A second alternative is to change your computer's power management 8 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. 9 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. 10 section 101
