VPN error
I've set up a VPN from my windows xp (workgroup) home network, to my brother's windows xp (workgroup) home network. We both use Cox high speed internet and both our home networks use broadband routers. When I try and connect, I get an error 733, stating that the connection couldn't be completed, and I might need to adjust the protocols on my comuter. If we try in the reverse then he gets the same message. I would just like to know what I need to do to have this work. We've both enabled pptp passthrough on our routers, and allowed port 1723 usage. Your time is much appreciated! Thank you. |

VPN error
This problem can occur if you use the DHCP option in Incoming Connections
and the "Incoming Connections" machine is unable to contact a DHCP server. To overcome this problem, try using a static address pool. Right click on Incoming Connections icon, go to networking tab, and with TCP/IP selected, click on properties tab. Change from "Assign TCP/IP address automatically using DHCP" to "Specify TCP/IP addresses" and then specify a range of addresses. For more info see article 168720. http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1 Thanks Giri -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
