By using the Virtual Private Network, you can switch from your public network to the Work network. But for doing this you should be knowing the VPN server name. Go to the Start Menu and open Control Panel. Type Network in the search bar and click on the Network and Sharing Center and select for Set up a connection and then click on the "Connect to a workplace".
