My VPN was working just fine until a week ago when my home pc had some driver
issues (printer and video). I restored those just fine, but ever since then
I have not been able to use VPN to get into work. I turned off my firewall
LiveOneCare firewall, but that did not seem to help. I get a message saying
that it is "Connecting", but then when it is trying to accept my password, it
gets hung up and times out. It will try two more times then eventually
fails. Anyone have any idea?

Have you tried just blowing away the VPN connection and rebuilding it?
Can't for the life of me tie a video/printer driver to VPN but, heck, if
you know how to, then I would.

I've been there a few times.

Each time, it went away when I uninstalled VPN, rebooted, and
then re-installed VPN.

Possibly wretched excess on my part - but it takes less than
fifteen minutes and next time I won't even poke around; I'll just
re-install.

Do you uninstall from Add/Remove programs? I don't see it in there.. .but
maybe that is my problem? :-)

Where do I re-install it from?

Thanks.
