both sides to another xp pro machine I get through the "connecting message"
right away then comes the "verifying username and password" which sits till
it times out how? Do I get it to authenticate

Getting error 721 or 720?

Your router is not setup right or has defective firmware - look on the
linksys site for VPN documents on how to fix it, if they have a fix.

I do not think this is related to the router because I get the message
"verifying user name and password" and I have already passed through the
router and the os is refusing authentication for some reason. Why do you
think this is a problem with the router?

Which Linksys router are you using? I have the WRV54G and it does
the same thing. I have talked to Linksys and they don't seem to have
a resolution to it. I have also tried the D-Link DI-604 with no joy
as well.
