Hi Jeffrey,
I have tried that. It is forced to PPTP and it still
doesn't work. I have tried everything I can think of. I
have even re-installed the tcp/ip software on the server
and client and that did not help. I have been reading
everything I can find on the web and at the microsoft
site for over a week and can't find anything to solve
this problem. The interesting thing I have found in my
research is that people either have no problem setting up
a VPN connection using microsoft windows or they have the
same problem I am having. The other interesting thing is
no one seems to know how to fix it. I am hoping that
someone can still help me. I have run out of ideas.
Thanks for your help,
Bruce
