If you have problems connecting to a PPTP server, make sure that you have correctly configured your PPTP client.
This section provides a list of steps you should take to make sure you have correctly configured your PPTP client. If you still cannot connect to a PPTP server, see the section “Troubleshooting Your PPTP Connection.”
Verify the following:
· Make sure your workstation and its applications support the protocols native to the target network (the network you will be tunneling to).
· If you are tunneling through the Internet, make sure your Internet connection is working properly.
· In Dial-Up Networking, make sure that you have configured at least one VPN connection to a PPTP server.
· In Dial-Up Networking, check your VPN connection to make sure that you have selected Microsoft VPN Adapter.
· Make sure you have a valid account on the PPTP server.
· In Dial-Up Networking, check your VPN connection to make sure that you have entered either the host name or IP address of your PPTP server.
· In Dial-Up Networking, check your VPN connection to make sure it includes all the protocols used on the target network.
· If the target network uses TCP/IP, check your VPN connection to make sure the TCP/IP settings are correctly configured for the target network.
· If you are making two connections, make sure the second connection is a VPN connection.
