Vpn connection disconnects

just in case it helps. I am getting this event error close to when it disconnects.

The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{5125BF9A-DC72-48E3-A72F-6EE4DED165F6} because another computer on the network has the same name.  The server could not start.

There is not other machine on my or the vpn netowork with the same pc name...........I don't know if this event is connected to the issue or not?

Hello 4mmdds,

Are you using a wireless connection from home when connecting to VPN?

The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{5125BF9A-DC72-48E3-A72F-6EE4DED165F6} because another computer on the network has the same name <- says it all

Make sure your home computer does not have the same IP or name as another system on your work network.

yes I am using wireless at home. I have tried the latest drivers.
I look after all of the PC's at work and they're are definalty no PC's with the same IP or name.

I have also tried using the same and different IP range's at home, even configuring my local router ip to match the ip router ip at work............still no luck

does this help too?

Yes,

It looks like your computer has the same IP range as the network you are trying to connect to.  You need to have your computer in a different subnet.

"I have also tried using the same and different IP range's at home, even configuring my local router ip to match the ip router ip at work............still no luck"

tried that already. Besides I never saw this problem with XP  using the same IP setup.

anyone else have any clues............I will up the points if need be??

it would seem this happens a lot more over a wireless vpn connection,  I have tried 2 different wireless hardware devices and many drivers......................any clues would be helpful, I would have thought someone could help?

change your ip range at home
e.g. : change 10.0.0.x to 192.168.1.x

the problem is now that the ranges are the same (LAN & VPN network are both 10.0.0.x)
problem solved :)
