Default VPN Error 691

I have searched all over the Internet, unable to find anything to solve this
problem. When trying to connect to a PPTP VPN, I get a 691 error.
Username/password are fine, I can connect to the VPN on XP with no problem.
I'm guessing that the reason is the authentication, but I don't know what to
do to fix this.

The VPN server uses MS-CHAPv1 and 40-bit encryption.

If more information is needed, please let me know.

Default VPN Error 691

In most cases, VPN error 691 is security settings issue. Any errors in the
VPN server Event Viewer?

Default VPN Error 691

I don't have access to that unfortunately, because I work from home part-time
and I'm not sure that anyone at work would want to try to fix this for just
one person who uses Vista. And, they also don't have an IT person at this
time.

I will try to ask, but I can't say if they want to spend any time on this to
help me out. I will reply back with an answer if I can get it.

Thanks,
Alisha

Default VPN Error 691

Thanks Jeffrey, but it tells me less than when the error shows up after
trying to connect.

CoID={9A171B52-48E9-4486-9D2C-3A515FA9EBAE}: The user pisrpls\Alisha dialed
a connection named mySmartSim which has failed. The error code returned on
failure is 691.

Just today I had access to connect to another VPN and it also gave me the
same error.

Do a simple test. Just turn off windows firewall and any third party
security software, then try the VPN. Can you do it?

Default VPN Error 691

You have to specify the name of the computer or the name of the domain with
your user name.

e.g. domain_name\user_name

or

computer_name\user_name

The user_name has to be a valid user account either in the domain or on the
computer you are connecting to. If you don't specify this Vista uses your
computer name as indicated in the error message. If you are connecting to
work it's most likely a domain.
