Re: VPN debugging fun, time to test your minds

Hi Wendel,

I've got Log errors and Warnings ticked as well the option below "Log
additional Routing and Remote Access information (used for debugging)"
selected.

At the bottom of the window it states that these logs can be found in the
%windir%\tracing directory. When I go to that directory there is a mess of
log files. Anyway of knowing which one would be applicable to dropped VPNs?

Thx,
Gaylen
