we have a windows 2003 server that manages VPN connections.
We use the microsoft VPN setup to establish connections on win2k and XP machines. This setup worked great until I met the client from hell.
Problem:
win2k sp4 user clicks on icon to start a VPN session.
The connection displays "connecting" and then times out.
We never see the normal connection dialogue that asks for user ID and pass word.
I have removed and re-installed network components.
I can ping the host.
No firewall is running on local machine
No router involved
A straight cable modem setup (which we have used many many times)

Essentially the VPN client is not launching completely.
Help me !!
