If you do not select this, or you start up the certificate manager in some other way (ege.g. using <tt>certmgr.msc</tt>, you will not be able to install the certificate system-wide, and the Windows IPsec subsystem will not find it. Click '''Next'''.
# Another dialog will ask which computer to manage. Choose <tt>'''Local computer'''</tt>. Click '''Finish'''

# Insert the server name (ege.g. <tt>server.example.com</tt>), and choose whatever you like to name the connection (Destination name). (the Server name needs to match the name in the generated certificate, this is usually a hostname rather than an IP address)
# Select <tt>'''Don't connect now; ...'''</tt>
# You don't need to enter User name and password as it will ask again later
# Click on <tt>'''Create'''</tt> and then <tt>'''Close'''</tt> (Don't connect yet!)
# Back at the Network and Sharing Center dialog, select <tt>'''Connect to a network'''</tt>
