    VPN problems as sets connection as public


    Trying to set up my windows 10 pro laptops to connect to work via PPTP as have the IP address and my log in this works on windows 8.1 and windows 7 and my iPad. On the laptops one is on the works domina the other is not as my home machine, the VPN will connect but to start with could get through to the drives now since doing the auto updates I can connect but it is set as a public network! Hence no access to the drives.

    i have changed the network in regedit but it just re sets it back?

    any ideas as I work in a home office most of the time and need access to the works server?

    i get the same on both machines but as soon as I turn a old windows 7 machine on all works fine so a windows 10 issues.

    Happy to to try any ideas.

    :)

    VPN connection problems. Same set up as before but not working

    I just purchased a new Asus Zenbook with windows 10 pro. My VPN set up is exactly the same as my old laptop, and it's not connecting through VPN for some reason. There is something different that I'm not seeing obviously. But what can it be? Tks

  3. VPN connection problems. Same set up as before but not working

    It would probably help to know which VPN. There have been problems reported about a few specific ones.

    Otherwise, as much as I despise their lack of completeness, I would try a troubleshooter for clues. The best clues are given when you open the .etl file and read them. Unfortunately they are given in doublebyte binary in Notepad but you can use SysInternals
    strings.exe program to help with that. NetMon 3.4 + a parser for Windows events is another alternative.

    Coincidentally, today in another incident, I noticed that there are some relevant netsh trace scenarios. I haven't tried them yet myself, so I don't know how useful they would be. Probably though if you have two otherwise identical systems, one which
    can connect and one which can't, they would be really helpful at least for comparison purposes, even if you didn't know what either trace was really saying.

    PS>netsh trace show scenarios
