PPTP stopped working
I have a VPN settup using PPTP, up until yestarday it worked just fine. Then
I started getting "Error 609: A device type was specified that does not exist.", I noticed in Network Connection that my VPN connection shows "WAN Miniport (L2TP)", I checked in properties under the Network tab and it is set to PPTP VPN. I tried setting up a new VPN connection but it did the same thing, showing "WAN Miniport (L2TP)" though it is set to PPTP. Can someone help me with this problem? -- Harolds
