VPN - Has anyone gotten it to work
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has gotten Vista to work with VPN's yet. I have tried to connect to PPTP and IPSec VPN's, but NOTHING works. It doesn't even tell me why the connection failed. I look in the event viewer and there is nothing to be found... Any insight would be appreciated. All of my VPN connections work with the built-in XP client or the Cisco Client... - Stewart |

Re: VPN - Has anyone gotten it to work
If it helps, get the XP style settings up so you can see the settings more

Re: VPN - Has anyone gotten it to work
And how is a shortcut to the Ethernet options gonna help?
I could easily access this without cluttering my desktop by clicking Start > Network > click "Network Center" on the toolbar and click "Manage Network connections" in the left pane.

Re: VPN - Has anyone gotten it to work
This has to do with Wireless LAN's, not VPN's...
