The VPN was provided by the job sight. Everyone seems to be concentrating on finding the differences between the lap top and the desk top. They originally thought it was the cable modem or Time Warner but when the lap top worked going through the same router and modem that theory died. They kind of gave up once the lap top worked. Would deleting and reloading VPN possibly help? I really want to use my desk top PC for most of this job, the keyboard is just better. -- The HarmyBoard HarmDrive

In reply to: Erin 's message, "Is this VPN provided by your job? If so they should have some tips on how to configure your Firewall to allow for outgoing traffic. They should be able to give you port numbers so that you can create a rule that allows for your firewall to let that traffic out. The reason why I asked if it was a real VPN is that VPN normally takes care of those issues by creating a tunnel using web traffic." on 09:34:56 03/04/07 Sun

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> CAZ - You may want to disable your Norton briefly and test out your VPN. This should rule out your firewall for any interference. -- Erin, 08:01:43 03/05/07 Mon [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Okay since this didn't work does this mean there is something else I should be looking at? I'm still willing to keep trying if you are. I don't want to take all your time since I can use my laptop and the client is suppose to work with me but with use of the laptop my problem is not a priority any more. -- CAZ, 12:13:54 03/05/07 Mon [1]
