Hey,

I am having trouble with a 2000 Pro Machine in connecting to a VPN. I have verified with three other machines, (2000 Server, XP Pro, & 98) that nothing is causing issues from the network. All but the server is using DHCP.
When I try to connect, I get the message verifing username and password. It then will timeout without connecting. The server on the other side reports a successfull connection. What can I do?

Check your local security settings and make sure that you do not have something enabled that might prevent a successful connection. If you have not adjusted any of these settings, then it is a safe bet that your problem is not here.

Have been able to generate a VPN connection to any other machine except this P.C. IF yes, then; Try to change the Network CARD on this particular machine.

Yes. They both have 2000 Pro, both have all patches installed. The settings appear to be identical in every way. One will connect the other will not.

Technology is a great thing...except when it doesn't work. To make it work, please backup your 2000 Pro machine that does not work. Then make a GHOST image of the working 2000 PRO machine and process that image to be on the non working machine. Now,you have two identical machines "software and hardware". This should solve your problem.

I can not ghost the machine since they have the same operating system, and are software configured the same, but hardware is radically different.
