Issue:  
Trying to work from home and cannot access the Department Drive or Public Drive using a Old Mill Center laptop.

Solution: 

The laptop requires a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection to access the drive folders on the server when working from home.  Look for either a traffic light or blue and white C icon in your notifications bar, lower right corner of your screen.
 

Traffic Light - Sophos VPN 2.1                        Blue C - Sophos VPN 2.2

If the icon is missing - click on the Start Button and type SOPHOS, and launch the Sophos VPN Client

TRAFFIC LIGHT INSTRUCTIONS:

Double Clicking on the Traffic Light will prompt you for your computers login.  

Enter your username: FIRSTNAME_LASTNAME

and then enter your password for the laptop.  

The connection will be complete if the Traffic Light turns from Red/Yellow to a
 Solid Green. Once Green, you can then connect to the Drive Folders.

BLUE C INSTRUCTIONS:

Double clicking on the Blue C will open a window.  You will see OMC VPN - 192.168.xx.xx connection. Press Connect.

Enter your username: FIRSTNAME_LASTNAME

and then enter your password for the laptop.  

Then press Sign In

The connection will change the icon to a Green Checkmark once it has successfully connected with the Old Mill Center Server. 

TROUBLESHOOTING: If you cannot locate a Sophos VPN on your laptop, it may have not been deployed.  Contact your IT Manager to setup an appointment to have it installed.

Mac Users: If you are using a personal computer, such as an Apple Macbook or iMac, the Client software will be different and requires direct setup and approval.  Contact your IT Manager to setup an appointment.
