The VPN section of the networking section is disabled on my XP Pro system (Dell latitude).<br />
<br />
I have read the previous answers to this issue on this forum - re-install sp1 or use the control panel-admin-services to re-enable VPN. &nbsp;Tried the sp1 route - didn't work. &nbsp;Looked at the control panel option - no vpn or dialup service appears to be enabled.<br />
<br />
Question: &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;What is the service that I should be looking for in the services area of 'admin' &nbsp;control panel sequence?<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Are there other ways to restore the VPN option for XP?

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
