we have a domain controller that is also our file server, that I want to be able to access, actually a shared folder called shared.<br />
<br />
I am trying to setup a windows vpn to allow access.<br />
<br />
I have created the vpn connector on the server, picked out my user name, specified it to allocate IP's form a range that is free. On the router, I have set port forwarding for port 1723 to the local IP address of the required server, and created a client vpn connection to the public IP address of our server. Also, opened up the windows firewall on the server for port 1723.<br />

When I try to connect the vpn from the client we get :-<br />

Not sure where the account name is being pulled from, as the user name is set correctly and that is my email address.<br />
<br />
I have not setup a windows vpn before, but thought this would be a quick and easy way to provide access to some data that I need.<br />

Can anyone advise where the problem may lie?<br />

Any advice much appreciated.

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.
