When to Select Private Network

LAN such as a corporate network, shown in Figure 41 . For instance, if you want to
dial into your main office from hom e in order to access the servers at your office
for e-mail, printing, and so on, then select priva te network as the type of service
provider you want to configure. If the privat e 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 op posed to through a direct connection
to an ISP), then choose that option when co nfiguring your private network
parameters.
