When using my home computer with XPSP1 installed I can make a VPN
connection, map drive's, ping servers an make a Terminal server connection.
When using my company's laptop with XPSP1 installed I can only make a VPN
connection and map drives.
I've checked both configurations but no differences were found.
When using a second home computer with Millenium I can only make a VPN
connection.

I've previously installed TSWEB en Terminal Server on the internal network
and configured ISA- server accordingly and disable them again because I
would like to use a better secured connection. I disabled Server and
Web-publishing and inbound port 3389. Is it possible that the previous
configuration conflicts with the VPN connection.
I'm trying to setup a PPTP connection first. afterwards I would like to
configure IPSEC. But first things first.
