How do I make A VPN connection wireless?

Anyone have any idea how I would go about making my University internet connection, which I get through an ethernet VPN connection, wireless? I have a netgear DG834Gv3 wireless router and am curious to know if it would be possible to somehow put the VPN connection through it to have it wireless?|||As long as You have access to the internet on your machine, Proceed as follows:





Go to control panel/connections and click new connection





Connect to my workplace





VPN connection





Enter a name for your connection (ie Uni)





Select do not dial





Enter the IP address of Uni (get the address from them)





Complete and you are ready to connect.





You will be asked for a user name and password (use your normal)





Bingo you are in|||In reality, it can't by design. A VPN allows access only to authorized users and other Traffic using public lines.Special VPN protocols encapsulate higher-layer protocols in a process known as tunneling. VPN routinely use Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol and the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol. In order for a VPN to stay a VPN, it must stay wired. Wireless access points provide the least security and open your network up to intrusions, hackers and password sniffers. Do not attempt to set up Wireless access for sensitive data or data that needs to remain secured.
