I am unable to establish a VPN connection to my home Windows XP Pro machine;
however I can connect using Remote Desktop Web Connection. But I need to be
able to map my hard drive remotely to exchange files. My network is connected
to an always on cable connection. Here are my settings; I have a Linksys
wired/wireless router with local IP address 192.168.1.1 subnet mask
255.255.255.0 with VPN pass through enabled and port 1723 and 3389 forwarded
to 192.168.1.20. My LAN TCP/IP settings are IP address 192.168.1.20 Subnet
255.255.255.0 Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 DNS Server Address 192.168.1.1. I
have the incoming connection set for VPN to Assign TCP/IP address
automatically using DHCP; I have TCP port 1723 and 3389 opened in Windows
Firewall. And of course I have Remote Desktop enabled in System Properties,
and have appropriate user name and password. It appears that VPN passes
through the router but is unable to authenticate with the computer. While
verifying username and password I get an error 721, unable to connect to
remote computer. Any insight would be appreciated.
