OK thanks. Can you update your community profile to include your:

• Name
• Telephone number
• Alternative contact number

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

The message is:

'Can't connect to VPN.

The VPN connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be completed. The most common cause for this failure is that at least one internet device between your computer and the VPN server is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol packets. If the problem persists contact your network administrator or ISP.'

Thanks

Hi Paul,

What happens when you try to connect to the VPN, do you get an error message? Has it ever worked?
