I have a laptop running Vista Home Basic trying to create a PPTP VPN to a
Firebox 700 firewall. Every attempt to connect results in a 691 error - username or password not valid. There are a number of computers running XP and one running Vista Ultimate that have no problem creating the VPN. Does anyone know of a reason that Home Basic can't/won't connect? |

In most cases, VPN 691 is security issue. Have you tried different username?
Or this search result may help.

Yes, I have tried several usernames/passwords which I know are valid on the
firewall. I've also done a number of searches but haven't turned up anything useful yet. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: In most cases, VPN 691 is security issue. Have you tried different username?

I'm not familiar with that particular device, but some use the NTLM protocol
for PPTP VPN authentication and have a problem with NTLMv2 by default used in Vista. The following registry change may help. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel If the key doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named LmCompatibilityLevel and set the value to 1, OR save the following lines to .reg files and run it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa] "LmCompatibilityLevel"=dword:00000001 -- "Rob" wrote in message ...
