remote desktop connection using vpn and dial up connection
No, I meant that if you had installed an independent firewall like Zone
Alarm, try disabling it when you try to connect. The reason for saying this is that we had similar problems - the link to the ISP would be set up but not the VPN site. Once the VPN information was entered as a trusted site into the firewall, it worked.

remote desktop connection using vpn and dial up connection
Assuming no firewall, you may like to check/confirm the following:-
I assume you are using the same ISP for both laptops as some ISP's do not permit "VPN Tunnelling"? On the 98 laptop, go to Control Panel\Network\Configuration. There should be a number of entries for VPN support. In particular, the dial-up adapter should have at least two entries, at least one of them having "VPN Support" in brackets. There should also be an entry for "Microsoft Virtual Private Networking Adapter. If you don't have this let us know and we can guide you through the installation.( If you do have it, we can also confirm the properties on each entry) Secondly go to My Computer\ Dial-up Networking. There should be at least three entries. First one to set up a new adapter, second the existing dial-up into your ISP and thirdly the connection to your VPN. When you click properties, the last two should not have identical information as the VPN username/password is for the destination network, ONCE THE CONNECTION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED to the ISP. Of course, you can cross check the info with the XP one, but some of it is in different places and not having XP I can't confirm this. Alan "Alan" wrote in message ...

remote desktop connection using vpn and dial up connection
no firewall installed. The ISP's are not the same, but it musn't be the
problem because I can do it with the xp laptop using the same dial up connection.
