OK, I've got a machine here that was Win2000 Pro, and I could not get a VPN connection to go past "Verifying username and password." After reinstalling the service pack, and reinstalling TCP/IP I decided that I'd just go ahead and upgrade this machine to XP Pro, seeing that all my other machines connecting to this network were already xp pro. I am still experiencing the SAME problem after the upgrade, and ALL updates!! Someone PLEASE help! This is drastic!Thanks,Karl Haines

Problem solved.. Apparently, even though that computer was on the same network as this one, and this computer CAN VPN out, that computer cannot unless I plug it in a different network. Odd, but I'm not complaining, it works now.
