VPN problem connecting
----------
Hi, I'm not the most
technically savvy person
around so please try to
follow me.
Here is
the scoop.
I have
Broadband hooked up to a
LinkSys WRT54GS with
SpeedBooster router.
From that router, I have
a desktop wired to it as
well as a laptop that
uses
wireless.
Yesterda
y, I updated the security
on the router. I have a
unique SSID and password.
I have WPA2 password
protection. I have the
MAC set up so it only
recognizes my laptop. I
also enabled file sharing
and printer sharing so I
can use the printer that
is connected to the
desktop.
Now I
keep getting a window
that pops up that tries
to dial the VPN. It has
my name and asks for a
password. I have no idea
what that password is.
If I click connect, it
tries to dial and then I
get "800 Unable to
establish the VPN
connection. The VPN
server may be
unreachable, or security
parameters may not be
configured properly for
this
connection"
From
what I understand, and
remember that I am not
very smart when it comes
to this sort of thing, is
a VPN is used to connect
my network (my desktop
and laptop) to another
person's
network.
The
problem comes in because
I have no other network
to connect
to.
Could anyone
help? |
