I use Windows 2000 as my VPN server, using PPTP.
I have a Windows XP laptop at home with a cable modem and a wireless router. I have 10 other users connecting to the VPN without problem.
It usually takes me a good 15 minutes of continually retrying before I can connect to my VPN. It sits at "Verifying username and password" and then gives me one of the generic error messages. Rebooting does not help.
This would point to my router as being the problem. It is a Linksys WRT54G. I have downloaded the latest firmware for the router and the latest drivers for my wireless card.
I found an article on Tek-Tips about setting your MTU - no better.
No errors are logged on the server or the laptop.
Help! I am so frustrated!
