I have a TQ&A open on this, but am running out of time to get this resolved.
I have a system with a clean install of Win2k Pro SP4, roll up, and all other patches are applied.
I NEED to setup a pptp connection, but when I go into he new connection wizard, it asks me to supply the modem information. (on cable modem) I have to select “cancel” three times before it takes me to the next step.
From there, the option for selecting VPN is grayed out.
I have made sure that Telephony and Remote connections manager are running.
The user has administrative rights.
I have disabled the modem, so it shouldn’t even look at that, just the ethernet connection.
I have googled the he11 out of this, and nothing explains why the VPN option is grayed out.
I have gone into the network properties and looked to install protocols, but didn’t see anything there for vpn.
