Hi,

I'm running windows 2000 and trying to setup vpn connection for a dell laptop but I get error 680, the vpn connection is trying to dial out when it's on the network. everyone else don't seem to have this problem, they are able to connect justfine.

I don't get why it's trying to dial out... does anyone have any suggestions???

When you fist start the VPN wizard, on the second screen (as a Default) it will try to Dail out what ever ISP Dial-up Connection you have in stalled. I would recommend unistalling the VPN connection and starting over "without using the Dial-up" ifyou still have questions, Email: srineer@protectionservices.com

When you start the VPN app look to see if there is Dial-up drop down box on the Connection screen. I'm not sure what version of VPN you're using but we have Contivity VPN Client 4.15 and there's a drop down box where you can select it to dial when you try to connect or you can set it to none. If you can set it to none it will just use you're current connection to the network or ISP, however you're connected. I hope this helps! Good Luck!

For some reason the networking protocols were corrupted. I uninstalled TCP/IP, client for Microsoft and file and printer sharing and then reinstalled and that solved the problem. Thanks for your help anyway.
