    Hi everyone,

    Sorry, I got iller, and ended up in hospital for a while.

    I'm not allowed LogMeIn. Something to do with security protocols. It is a slow and clunky way to provide VPN access, but it's something, so if I can get it working I'm happy!

    I'm on Windows 7, and it now works on my desktop. It did want a domain, which I worked out.

    It still doesn't work on my laptop, which is a Mac, and much more convenient to use in hospital. I'm not sure the actual VPN is right, because nothing loads when I log into it. The details are the same as for the desktop, though, and it works there.

    Anyone know what (no doubt really obvious) thing my Mac needs?

    You could look at Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1...

    If you are ill, and particularly if you are in hospital, then the one thing you do NOT need to do is VPN to work - either someone else will do the work or it'll wait until you are better. Either way it's not your problem to resolve.
