VPN — works on only one computer?
LockedI just setup a VPN server (a windowsXP pro VPN server)… now this is the weird thing,
at first no computers could ever connect to the VPN (error 800) however tonight I enabled VPN on the router…Problem1) — I came home and tried to connect… it started to connect but then failed on authentication (i forgot the password) but (the key point here is that it did try and authenticate).
I then went to my friends house, who knows the password, setup the VPN client (the default windowsXP client) on his machine, and it connected and authenticated… it works perfectly on his computer…. he can connect, disconnect, and connect again, its great.
Problem: NO other computer will connect to this VPN… it doesnt even try and connect, it just sits there and comes up with error 800 failed to connect…. even my computer at home … that “tried to connect but failed authentication — because i forgot the password” — wont even try and connect anymore?
It seems to me… that for some reason, because my mates computer managed to connect… that ALL other computers now cant connect? (note: he had disconnected from the VPN when we tried to connect on other computers).
any ideas — AT ALL ? — I even tried my laptop at my mothers house, and my laptop has no firewalls at all, i even formated the laptop — still no luck.
