had this all working: the office computer was WinXP Pro, I had another XP computer and a Vista laptop, others had other computers including some Win7 release candidates. And everybody could connect. Trouble was, they were all connecting to the same userid, using a shared password; very bad juju. All these systems have now vpn error 720 a connection to the remote computer been upgraded to Windows 7, and I can't get the PPTP VPN to work. I want to set it up so everybody who needs to use the VPN has a user account with a password on the office computer, and all those user accounts are authorized to use the incoming connection, which I set up according to the instructions shown in various forums I've found. I want everybody to dial into the VPN using their own userids and passwords. The VPN setup is pretty much the same as in XP! I've done this before and got it working. But, using my own account on the office computer as a sample, I keep getting "error 720" when I try to connec, "unable to connect." Can anybody suggest what I may be doing wrong?
