Roger,
Thanks for the response.
I'm using Microsoft's VPN product on both the NT server
and my XP home system. I've tried just about every
combination of protocol in the advanced settings of my XP
home VPN connectoid. (Unencrypted password, MS-CHAP, MS-
CHAP v2 etc). I've even tried diabling 'Request
Encryption' on the server.
I guess the thrust of what needs to happen here is to
ensure that the NT server and my XP home system are both
using the same protocols, at the same level of encryption
(128 bit etc) and the same revision level ??
