Hi,

I have a laptop, running windows xp tablet pc edition (seems to be a
version of windows xp professional).

I want to create a VPN connection. I choose "create a new connection"
and then "VPN". However, it automatically becomes a dialup connection
instead of a VPN connection. In the property->networking of the
connection, there are only two choices" "PPP" and "SLIP", but I want
PPTP which is for VPN. And it automatically use the modem as the
connection device.

I uninstall the modem, and restart the computer. After the computer
found the modem and install the driver automatically, I create a VPN
connection. This time it seems to be normal, with the correct type (I
can select PPTP). However, I can not connect through the VPN. When I
double click the icon, the property windown of the connection appears
(instead let me connect). I right click it, the "connect" option is
gray.

When I restart the computer, everything goes back to the problem stated
in the beginning.

Thanks!
