I am just trying to connect to my office (win2k running as vpn svr).
No luck. under XP/w2k etc. - no problems.
I have been tweaking the every possible setting in vpn connection properties
without any luck. connect->no go. diag - reads no problems.
Did ANYONE have any luck using ms-2k-svr to ms-vista-vpn client connection?

Thanks for any help I can get.

What type of VPN is it? PPTP / L2TP?

If it is PPTP then the problem may be the same one I'm havening. If
you're server is set to require encryption (MPPE) but is configured for
CHAP or MS-CHAPv1 authentication your PPTP will not be able to connect.

Windows Vista no longer supports MS-CHAPv1 for VPN authentication and
only supports encryption when authenticated via MS-CHAPv2. Connections
authenticated with PAP or CHAP will not be encrypted.

Since the default VPN settings in Vista require a secure connection it
basically means that it will only connect using MS-CHAPv2. You can
change these settings in the security tab of your VPN connection
properties but it may also you to get the server to be reconfigured to
allow unencrypted VPNs.

I've been sending emails to the MS RRAS team begging them to fix this.
