I have attempted to set-up a VPN between my lap-top (WindowsME) and a desktop (WindowsXP) through a router with the PPTP port forwarded. When I try to make the connection I get as far as a screen which says it is verifying name and password (so I suppose I have some kind of connection to the right place!) but then I get a message that dial up networking cannot complete the connection - error 650 - and the following message:-
"The computer you're dialing in to cannot establish a Dial-up Networking connection. Your server type setting might be incorrect. To fix this problem, contact your InternetService Provider, or network administrator."
Can anyone give me a clue as to what might be happening?
My service provider uses PPPoE for my ADSL connection (they say they don't support PPTP) but as the end points of the tunnel are both on my own hardware I'm hoping that it is possible - although I have to admit I don't really understand VPN.
Gratefull for any help -
