Re: XP Pro 678 problem.

I have Error 678 when trying to VPN to my corporate server.

Googling shows that I am not alone in this, however, my problem
isn't connected with the router(s).

I have two laptop computers, both with XP Pro SP2. Both connect to
my home network OK, and both can surf the internet.
But, only one of them can connect to the VPN. Both are trying to use
PPTP.

I have turned off windows firewall and un-installed any antivirus or
third party firewalls, but I cannot get my other laptop to connect!
I know the username and password are correct, and I checked that all
settings are identical.

So, what could the problem be?
I know that my network infrastructure is OK because I have one
laptop which works fine!

Usually, with dsl/cable routers - only one PPTP/VPN connection is allowed
through at a time.
Are you saying that one can connect and THEN the other cannot - are are you
trying to connect at different times?
