754967 2009-03-10 08:00:00 Scratch that found it, you have to create the connection then you'll see it Speedy Gonzales (78)
754968 2009-03-10 08:12:00 Do you know what require-mppe-128 is??

Because I dont. In one forum a guy disabled this and it worked

Yea that is the encryption, no point having a VPN without any!
I have emailed my supplier of the VPN endpoint device to see if they have any ideas as to what is going on.

754969 2009-03-10 09:41:00 One of the posts on experts-exchange (the answers were there, but arent in the link). If you go back

Seems to think it could be NAP (www.microsoft.com) thats causing it (which is only in SP3)

Or this from the above site (dont know if its what I said previously)

Or if its the same thing

However, tried a second reinstall of SP3, this time with AVG antivirus disabled and the "Require data encryption (disconnect if none)". UNTICKED BEFORE the install of SP3 VPN works fine.

One guy did the above after SP3 was installed and it worked

754970 2009-03-11 07:40:00 Well I'll put this in the "Strange computer problem" book.
The customer wanted their laptop today so I delivered it and setup their new ADSL router and the wireless so that the laptop could get on the net.
I tried the VPN connection and it works! :confused:
No idea why it would not connect while on our network at work, while my laptop would, but then work fine at their home... :confused::confused:
