How to set up your VPN connection to the Lanlogic Hosted Exchange network
Note: If this is your first time setting up a VPN connection for your account, please contact Lanlogic Support and request that we add VPN permissions for your account. We will just need the email address for your account.
If you have Outlook 2003 and XP SP2, you do not need to use a VPN connection to connect to your Exchange Server. You can configure Outlook to connect using RPC over HTTP. Please see related article for more information.
If you are a Hosted Exchange customer, we can provide you with a free copy of Outlook 2003. Just send us an email with your name, and the domain we are hosting for you, and we'll send you instructions to download it.
Click on Start > Settings > Network Connections and select New Connection Wizard.
Click Next on the Connection Wizard
Select “Connect to the network at my workplace” and click Next
Select “Virtual Private Network connection” and click Next
Type in a name you would like to call this connection, for example, “Lanlogic VPN” and click Next
If prompted, select “do not dial the initial connection” and click Next
Type in the VPN server name "vpn.myhostedexchange.com” without quotes in the "Host name" field and click Next
Select “My use only” unless you have multiple accounts on your computer that will need access to this connection. Click Next
Click on Finish
Type in your Lanlogic-provided email address and password in the appropriate fields. If you are unclear as to what email address and password to use, please contact support@lanlogic.com

1. Click on the properties of the VPN connection and click on the Networking tab. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on Properties.
2. Click on the Advanced button
3. Uncheck the box that says Use default gateway on remote network.
