Problem setting up dial connection

[Doug Sanders]

I need to set up a modem connection to test a VPN server. Hardware is
installed and works using TelNet.

The connection 'wizard' takes me through all the steps and then stops at
naming the connection. It tells me I need a name of at least 1 character,
not a space and no periods.

Nothing works. The default from the wizard, simple name like 'test1', or
even obscene words don't provide what it wants.

Is it broke? Is there a work around?

Thanks,

Doug Sanders

I hate to ask this, but did you make sure there was no spaces in front of the
profile name or at the end. I have done this before in the past.

I think the Connection Wizard is broken. I couldn't get it to work the
last time I tried it, either. What I did was to make a copy of an
existing connection, rename it, and then modify it.

Are you using the Internet Connection Wizard or the Network Connection
Wizard?

I'm using win2k with the 'Network and Dial-up Connections' wizard.
LAN settings work fine, just won't let me add a dial up.

I checked again and made sure there were no leading or triling spaces. Even
went back to my 'test1' name but doesn't work.

How do I copy my existing LAN connection? I don't know the file extension.

Thanks,
Doug

Use the Internet Connection Wizard:
Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > Setup...

Thanks, but it's broken.

'Cannot load the Remote Access Connection Manager service.
Error 711: The Remote Access Service Manager could not start. Additional
information is provided in the event log.'

Event log says: 'The Routing and Remote Access service terminated with
service-specific error 711.
The Remote Access Connection Manager service terminated with the
following error:
Access is denied.'
I am the administrator.
Thanks again.
