Hi Guys, I am trying to setup a test vpn between my home desktop and my laptop. So far I have got the server on the desktop to connect fine but I can not get my laptop to finish the connection. I have tried several different configurations and they all give me the same result. Obviously it has nothing to do with my Client configuration but possibly something on my laptop?

Here is the message I get in the log when it stops then times out and restarts.

Mon Oct 18 20:10:55 2010 UDPv4 link local: [undef] Mon Oct 18 20:10:55 2010 UDPv4 link remote: 74.190.29.236:1194 Mon Oct 18 20:11:55 2010 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) Mon Oct 18 20:11:55 2010 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

here are my configurations

I just need a simple vpn for one user. Am I headed down the right path?

Thanks, Larry
