Hello, I want to network 2 Win XP computers in different
states. We want to use routers at each location and
network our desktops and laptops. I have followed MS
instructions but continue to get an Error 800.

I'm sorry to ask what must be a common question, but the
search feature here has me stumped.

Can someone direct me to more detailed instructions on
how to do this?

Thanks

Sharon

Error 800: Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be
un-reachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this
connection.

Resolutions:
1) if you have firewall, open TCP Port 1723, IP Protocol 47 (GRE).
2) make sure you can reach the VPN server by using ping. Sometimes, poor
connection can cause this issue too.
3) You may need to updated firmware on a router or firewall if other OS
(win9x/nt/me/w2k) works except XP.
4) The VPN server may not be able to get IP from DHCP for the VPN client.
So, you may want to re-configure VPN host networking settings. For XP pro
VPN host, go to the Properties of the VPN>Network, check Specify TCP/IP
address and Allow calling computer to specify its own IP address, and
uncheck Assign TCP/IP addresses automatically using DHCP.
