RE: VPN and Remote Desktop Problems

Hello, Edward

Regarding the VPN connection dropping:

All network connections, including dialup, say 'ICS disabled by network
administrator', so whatever the problem is, it is not that. The two files
referenced in artlcle 331816 are 5.1.2600.2180 so it is not that either.

About the Remote Desktop, I will try that locally and set up a separate
topic thread as you suggest if needed.

Thanks,
Steve
