Can anyone help? 1) I can "Connect" to the VPN, which works and gives me access to my work network, however, the screen button still says "Connect" after I do this (instead of "Disconnect"). The only way I've found to disconnect is to open up Network Connections, view the properties of the connection, and hit the disconnect button in there. 2) There doesn't seem to be a way (at least that I've found) to put the VPN connection on the Windows 8 Start Screen for easy access.
