I have been trying for months to configure my laptop to connect through the internet via a VPN connection to my office computer and am having no luck. Microsoft help is no help. The help screens are no help. Even those who say they know don't know. I am running xp pro on the laptop. Win 2000 pro on the office computer which has VPN capability and xp on a second office computer. Office computesr are behind a Linksys Router with firewall. Help need before I pull out the rest of my hair

Thank
 
What are the errors you are seeing?

Is this the lack of apparent internet connectivity when connected via
the VPN? If so, you need to change the Internet Protocol parameters
of your VPN and disable the "Use the default gateway on the remote
network" checkbox. See

for more information.
