Configure a VPN connection from a client computer
To set up a connection to a VPN, follow these steps:
1. On the computer that is running Windows XP, confirm that the connection
to the Internet is correctly configured.

2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections.
4. Click Create a new connection.
5. In the Network Connection Wizard, click Next.
6. Click Connect to the network at my workplace, and then click Next.

The #7, that is where I am having the problem, can't choose either dial-up
connection or Virtual Private Network connection.
