unable to create new VPN connection.

Chad

I have xp home, and I am trying to create a new VPN
network connection. As per the help (which didn't help)
pasted below. I can do 1 and 2 but then when I try to do
3, all my options are grayed out thus hindering me from
doing anything else. Any ideas?

To make a virtual private network (VPN) connection
Open Network Connections.
1)Under Network Tasks, click Create a new connection, and
then click Next.
2) Click Connect to the network at my workplace, and then
click Next.
3)Click Virtual Private Network connection, click Next,
and then follow the instructions in the wizard.
Notes

To open Network Connections, click Start, point to
Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click
Network Connections.
You can create multiple VPN connections by copying them in
the Network Connections folder. You can then rename the
connections and modify connection settings. By doing so,
you can easily create different connections to accommodate
multiple hosts, security options, and so on.

Open up Computer Management and then click the Services link.. Check
to see if the Remote Access Connection Manager is started or enabled.
If it isn't started, right click on it and start it. Then try your
VPN connection again.
