I am accepting both at this point. &nbsp;I am not using the Windows &nbsp;8 laptop so not sure if either works because I did not try them.

I am trying to connect a Windows 8 Laptop to a TZ200 sonicwall via the newest SonicWALL Global VPN Client downloaded from SonicWALL.  It is not working.  Can anyone help me figure this out?  See attached file from the client.

How do I set up a SonicWall VPN Client on a Windows 8 Laptop?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
