SYMPTOMS
When you try to synchronize a desktop computer over a network, the following symptoms may occur:

 * You may be presented with virtual private networking (VPN) credentials if VPN server information is present in the Work settings.

WORKAROUND
To work around this issue:
 * 1) Under Internet Settings, click New.
 * 2) Give the new connection an appropriate name.
 * 3) Click the Proxy Settings tab, click to select the This network connects to the Internet check box, and then click OK.
 * 4) Use the connection that you created in step 2 as the connection that you use for connecting to the Internet and to Work.
 * 5) In the My network card connects to box, click Work.
