# NPS Connector Quick Start Guide **Before You Begin** 1\. This software is intended for remote access to network resources (drives, etc.) from home on a district owned laptop running Windows. 2\. This software is designed for out of district use. It will not work if you are connected to a school building network, so please test at home, or another location, as it will fail to connect if already connected to our school network. **To start your connection** Double click on this icon, which should be on your Windows desktop.
