Dear Brian, I did a quick Google of ‘VPN on a Mac’ this link seemed to stand out the most http://kb.iupui.edu/data/algk.html. As you said you have already set up your tunnel in Windows, I am therefore sure that you will know what username/passwords to use instead of those on the website. They do have a guide for OSX 10.5 as on your MBA. Hope this helps, Regards C.

I am looking for help similarly. I do NOT need remote desktop (I don’t think) rather I need to access my company’s server remotely. THis is VPN and VPN works fine when I boot up on the Windows side of my MacBook Air, but I would rather work from the Mac side and VPN from the Mac. ANy help on that would be great!

Hi Kate, follow this link to Mactopia (Microsoft’s Mac site) http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx?pid=Mactopia_RDC&fid=803F9438-8DF3-490F-92C6-0E0F92787DB8#viewer
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2′ in the details window download the DMG in the language required. Before running Remote desktop, follow steps 1 & 2 above. Run the Remote Desktop program on your Mac then insert your home servers local IP address into the dialogue box then click connect. Fingers Crossed all will be well.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
C.

You should be able to use remote desktop for Mac to access any windows machine. I dont use WHS but i do use a Mac to access other windows machines. Microsoft have a number of applicationd for Mac.
