This article was previously published under Q289568



SYMPTOMS
The Virtual Private Network option is unavailable in the Make New Connection dialog box on Handheld PC (H/PC) 2000 devices.



CAUSE
Virtual private networking (VPN) is supported by the version of Windows CE (core system version 3.0) that is used by the H/PC 2000. However, the H/PC 2000 does not currently include a client that is capable of using the core VPN functionality in the operating system.



WORKAROUND
Although Microsoft does not provide a VPN client, third-party programs are available to add VPN support for H/PC 2000 and Pocket PC devices.
