PPTP

[Guest]

I have received the setup for VPN access to my employer's network. But, as I
try to sign on it says I must have PPTP to logon. Anybody know how to set up
WIndows XP Media Center with the PPTP? I have had many techs look at the
computer and someone has told me that the XP Media Center won't let me
connect with PPTP. How do I get around this? I have a fairly new computer
and this was the operating system that it came with - I would have preferred
XP Pro but was told I couldn't get that.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!!

Try posting in the Windows XP Media Centre Edition newsgroup - someone will
help I'm sure. I just did a quick search and there are quite a few questions
about VPN connections (which is what PPTP is a flavour of), so it is
definitely supported.

Good luck.
