Have a LinkSys RVS4000, running Firmware V 1.1.14.
Made A VPN account on the router, and activated it.
Went home, installed the QuickVPN client that came with the router. V4.0.100.119.0 from 2006
on a WinXP Pro SP3 system last night. When I tried to connect to the router, it got to the point of verifying, and then hung. ALL network connectivity on that system stopped while this process was going on. After 15 minutes and no change, I killed the process.
Ever since then, the pc has not been able to connect to the network. It still resolves it’s IP address via DHCP, but can not even ping the gateway.
I have uninstalled the QuickVPN software, no change.
I have run the WinSocFix utility, no change.
I have removed and reinstalled the NIC, no change.
How do I restore connectivity to this system that the QuickVPN client killed?
When I get home, I will try to boot to a previous restore point. That is the only thing I haven’t done yet that I can think of.
Anyone got any ideas? (actually connecting to the LinkSys will be another question, AFTER I fix my desktop.)
Thanks!
