Any gurus out there?

I can't create a VPN connection. The Network Connection screen is completely disabled!

Just so that some don't believe I'm a complete idiot:
If I go to Create a New Connection and it puts me into a wizard. The wizard asks the "Network Connection Type" I say "Connect to the Network at My Workplace" Click Next and the next window "Network Connection" is disabled and I can NOT continue.

I've got a new HP notebook that originally came with XP Home. I upgraded to XP Pro.

Anybody? Please???

 
Does the account you are logged in with have admin rights on your notebook?
 
I started to look in services. I found a post on this site about Remote Access causing problems. This was fixed by re-installing SP1. I did that and the problem has cleared up.

Thanks!
