Um - to ask a stupid question... What VPN server are you using? I don't
think XP Pro or home have a VPN server included...

So it might not be authenticating becuase there is no server at the other
end.

Cheers - Neil

IPSec is more standards-oriented, secure and more powerful.

If you wish to have one PC VPN'ing into work then I would recommend
simply
using a IPSec client and personal firewall on that machine. If you want
your whole home network to be visible from work I would recommend either
installing a firewall with IPsec site-to-site functionality behind your
ADSL
router, or building a *hardened* linux box and using the freely
available
IPSec client on it.

Of course, it all depends on how much access you want to your work
network
from home, what existing security infrastructure your work has, how much
your work are willing to compromise the security of their network, and
how
much money you or your work want to spend. :-)
