Greetings all. I recently replaced my wireless router. I have 2 computers on my small home netwrok. 1 is running XP Pro, the other Win 7 Pro. The Win 7 machine has no problem connecting to the router or browsing the internet but the exisitng vpn connection to my office no longer works. The XP has no problems using its vpn connection. They both point to the same server and no, I'm not trying to connect them at the same time. I've currently installed an evaluation copy of a commercial vpn client (NCP - Secure Client) but I'd rather not go that route for the simple needs I have. Thanks for any and all help.

Hi, To troubleshoot the issue, I suggest you temporarily uninstall the evaluation copy of VPN client and create a Windows built-in VPN Client for a test. 1.Click Start button --> Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Share Center --> Click "Set up a new connection or network" under the "Change your networking settings". 2.Select " Connect to a workplace" and click Next --> Use my internet connection (VPN) --> Type the internet address and destination name in the box --> Check 'Don't connect now; just set it up so I can connect later' and click Next --> Enter your VPN username and password --> Then click the 'Create' button --> Click the 'Close' button to finish. Please also temporarily turn off firewall for a test. Thanks, Novak
