I have a problem using VPN to connect to my works server.
My set up is as follows...
Main machine runs XP and has a USB cable modem connection, shared between 3 other machines. I have a wireless USB network connecting the three PCs (so no router is involved).
I can run the VPN client software on the XP machine no problem, but if I try to run the VPN client on my laptop (98 SE) , it will not connect, returning the message 'cannot find host' or something close to that. Also, if I do run the VPN on the XP machine, I cannot access the internet from any of the other PCs.
Ideally I would like to be able to use my laptop to access the VPN and still allow the other PCs to access the internet, but I would settle for using the XP PC to connect to the VPN whilst still allowing the other PCs to access the internet.
Could anyone help with suggestions as to how I can make this happen please?
