Hey there,<br />
<br />
I am using Windows XP Pro SP 2 and have a Netgear DG834GT router. &nbsp;I am trying to connect to a VPN. &nbsp;I have used the Windows Network connection wizard, inputting the account name, username and password.<br />
<br />
When I try to connect, I always get the 800 error 'Unable to establish the VPN connection...'.<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if I need to configure my Router?<br />
<br />
I am using pretty much out-of-the-box firewall settings:<br />
<br />
Outbound Services - any service - allow always<br />
<br />
Inbound Services - &nbsp;any service - block always<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly apprciated,<br />
thanks<br />

NetGear DG834GT + VPN  Issues - 800 Error

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
