I'm trying to set up a VPN to access my home PC while travelling. Home machine is XP Home with all updates applied. Laptop is XP Pro with all updates applied. I"m on DSL behind a Linksys WRT54G router. Port 1723 is open on the router and firewall. Home machine is configured to accept incoming connections. When trying to connect I get a 721 error while verifying username and password. UltraVNC works just fine but the file transfer has been kinda iffy for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Have you tried Remote Desktop? This would allow you to access that PC and work on it directly. Make sure you have opened port 3389.
