When to Select Private Network
Select private network when you want to connect directly to a remote, private
LAN such as a corporate network, shown in Figure 41. For instance, if you want to
dial into your main office from home in order to access the servers at your office
for e-mail, printing, and so on, then select private network as the type of service
provider you want to configure. If the private network you are dialing into
provides the option of accessing the Internet and you want to be able to reach the
Internet through your corporate LAN (as opposed to through a direct connection
to an ISP), then choose that option when configuring your private network
parameters.
