I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer on the same WiFi network. The desktop can connect to the VPN, but the laptop cannot.
VPN Connection specs:
- Type: PPTP
- Sign-in: User name and password
- Certificate stored locally in Trusted Root Certification Authorities
- Security > Authentication: "Microsoft: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2) (encrypted)"
Desktop specs:
- Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
- WiFi connection
Laptop specs:
- Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
- WiFi connection
What I've tried:
- Verifying the settings listed above match between laptop and desktop
- Connecting laptop directly to router via Ethernet
- Exporting my firewall settings from desktop and importing them to laptop to make sure they match
- Windows "Network Reset" in Settings (app) > Network & Internet > Status
Have you tried connecting when you are using an Ethernet connection instead of a wireless one? That is Step 1 – InterLinked – 2017-02-21T21:49:36.047
Yes. I have that in the "What I've tried" list – Matt – 2017-02-22T17:32:02.793
If anyones reading this - and none of the answers worked: Add registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent with value = 2. Restart PC - worked for me – Daniel Cooke – 2019-06-23T18:03:16.993
Make sure that VPN is really not working, because the tray menu continues showing "Connecting" after it's actually connected and working. – bdrajer – 2020-02-20T09:57:32.997
