VPN

[Sezhian A]

My PC has XP home sp3. I used to have VPN connection to my work place.
Recently some thing went wrong an d I am unable to establish a new VPN
connection. When ever I try to establish the VPN connection, it shows up in
dial up section and does not work. As suggested by somebody in this forum I
enabled/started the remote access connection manager and then tried again but
of no use.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply.

There is no error code. The new VPN connection that I create shows up under
dial up and when I try to connect using that it tries to dial the IP address
as if it is a phone number and nothing happens.

Thanks

Can you telnet port 1723? Also any errors in the Event Viewer?

I think we need to know first if this is a Windows VPN server or a third
party once such as Cisco.

Hi,

I have done the telnet port.... and Event viewer. I will do them once I
reach home. The server is an apple vpn server. By the way I have two other
computer (laptops) one with xp home and the other with xp pro. There is no
probelm with those computers. Its only the desktop that has this problem.

Thanks

The following the error in the event viewer.

"The device 'RAS Async Adapter'
(SW\{eeab7790-c514-11d1-b42b-00805fc1270e}\asyncmac) disappeared from the
system without first being prepared for removal.

I could telnet 1723.

The error code is 633 when i try to connect to the vpn even though the
system treats it like a dialup.

Thanks
