VPN Error 678

[jaaconsult]

I am connected to the internet via Broadband. I connect to my clients via VPN. I have had no trouble with this. All of a sudden, I am getting:

ERROR: 678
The remote computer did not respond within a reasonable amount of time.
If you specified an IP address directly please check it. If connecting over a Modem please make sure the Modem connection is already running, and then try again.

This comes an after a few seconds. I have no problem connecting to the net. The IP address has been confirmed.

I'm using Windows 98 1st edition. Did I bring in a Window's update that fouled it up?

Any suggestions. Thanks.

make sure the port 1723 and IP Protocol 47 (GRE) are opened on the remote router. For more tips or information, go to
