I am getting Error 733 when trying to make a VPN connection to a Windows XP Pro machine using tcp/ip. I am trying to connect from a client that is behind the same router, so I know it is not an issue of not having ports properly fowarded. I have TCP/IP binded to both the VPN Server and Cleint. I can connect using IPX, but some of the computers I will want to connect from don't have this prototcol installed. Any help greatly appreciated.

protocol connections... TCP/IP CP reported error 733: Your computer and the remove computer could not agree on PPP control protocols Cause: The client (i.e. your computer) and the server (i.e. the computer you are trying to establish a VPN connection to) cannot agree on a common set of PPP control protocols. This is a very generic error and can be caused by a number of things. Possible Remedies: On the client disable the "Negotiate multi-link for single link connections" setting. To do this: Start > Settings > Control Panel Open "Network and dial-up Connections" Right click the VPN network connection giving the problem and select "Properties" On the http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/143566-45-error-solutions-posts "Networking" tab, click "Settings" Clear the check-box "Negotiate multi-link for single link connections" If the server is connected to the internet via a router then it may be that the router does not support VPN connections. Ask the server administrator to check that: The router supports "VPN pass-through" (be aware that different routers may use different terms). Other terms that are normally associated with this are: "IPSec" and "L2TP". The router is http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/windows/troubleshooting/w2k_error_733_could_not_agree_PPP_control_protocols.htm configured to pass through VPN connections to the necessary server. NOTE: It is not sufficient to simply forward ports 1723 and 47. Port 1723 needs to be forwarded, but what needs to be forwarded is IP Protocol 47 (GRE) not port 47. This is normally done via an explicit setting on the router. If the router does not appear to support this then investigate whether a bios upgrade is available for the router. Check that the server and client agree about who is assigning or specifying TCP/IP addresses. (It is common to allow the server to specify the TCP/IP address.) At the VPN server ensure that there are IP addresses available to allocate. The default setting for incoming TCP/IP is to "(o) Assign TCP/IP addresses automatically using DHCP" however if there is no DHCP server on the machine then instead select "(o) Specify TCP/IP addresses" and enter a suitable range. Check that the network protocol you are using (typically TCP/IP but could be NetBEUI) is also listed at the server end. (Note: Adding a protocol to an NT4 server will require a reboot to take effect.) These notes have been tested with clients running Windows 2000 and Windows XP and with VPN servers on Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows 200
games, and for that reason I'm trying to make network play possible(this particular old game is "Blood", heard of it?). Anyway, old games were run through the IPX protocol, and this is where I get some difficulties. I have set up my router for pptp passthrough, opened the required ports, and created a vpn-server on my machine using windows XP(SP2). I have also set up a vpn-client using Windows XP, and when i try to connect, i CAN get connected if i want to, and everything seems to work. However, upon connection, I get an error: "TPC/IP CP connected successfully. IPX/SPX or compatible CP reported error 733: A connection to the remote computer could not be completed." In other words, it seems that I can't get the IPX/SPX protocol to work through my VPN PPTP connection. How to fix this? anyone?

I'll admit I havent been exposed to novell for quite a few years now but as I recall IPX/SPX is NOT an internet protocol. It can be routed through routers in a Lan but NOT on a Wan to the internet (it will work on a Wan if the Wan is on a point to point private connection). The last I also remember of novell they were just adding a tcp/ip protocol. __________________________________________________ tiny_1 5 posts Forum MembersPosted 9 years, 305 days ago Spoke to some people at Microsoft Norway, who meant that it should be possible to create an IPX-tunnel. I'll continue my research, and update the thread if i discover something(just for those who might be interested)... exTI 3636 posts ModeratorsPosted 9 years, 305 days ago This may sound stupid but is that game server still up and running and is it still using ipx/spx protocol? __________________________________________________ tiny_1 5 posts Forum MembersPosted 9 years, 305 days ago hehe, there is no game server. its and old fps game(built using Ken Silverman's Build-engine, as is Duke Nukem 3D), in which multiplayer is based upon usage of the ipx-protocol. haven't you heard of Blood?? exTI 3636 posts ModeratorsPosted 9 years, 305 days ago No I haven't but I dont play games on computers (afraid I may get hooked on them). I also quit overclocking years ago when I saw little speed increases to risk damaging hardware (which I've done).there is no game server
