Hey everyone. My office uses a VPN for us to get onto the network when we are at home. On my Windows Machine at home, I get on the VPN just fine. Works great. On my OS X Machine (powerbook, latest OS) I can't get on. The error message is: Could Not negotiate a connection with the remote PPP server. Here's whats also weird. When I'm at the office and using their Wireless connection, with the same exact VPN settings, the VPN connects just fine. (Even though we technically don't need the VPN at the office)

Any suggestions? I use a cable modem.

Thanks.

PPTP or L2TP?


You'd be best off talking with your VPN provider. Chances are there is nothing that can be done on the client side.
