Cannot connect to workplace (VPN) with wizard

I am trying to setup a VPN connection to my workplace on my laptop but am not able to get past the wizard.  I was able to get it to work successfully on my desktop and others who have used Windows 7 have been able to connect also.
Specically, what I am doing is going to Network and Sharing Center, Set up a New Connection, Connect to a Workplace, Use my Internet Connection (VPN).  I use an IP address that I know works on other machines.  I have tried using the Don't Connect
Now option as well as without that option.
When I hit Create, I immediately get a "The wizard cannot connect" with only a Try Again option.  If I try again, it will essentially hang and I've given it over 30 minutes at least once to try to figure it out.
I have Norton Antivirus and I disabled the Smart Firewall.  I have tried uninstalling Norton Antivirus and disabling the default Windows Firewall.  I have tried disabling Windows Defender.  I'm not sure what else to try anymore.

Hi
You are trying to connect using the wizard. I recommend you try to connect using the connection itself.
After you are done with the wizard and the creation of your VPN connection (With the Don't connect now ticked), you should go back to Network and Sharing Center, on the left hand click on change adapter settings and you will see your VPN connection.
Here if you right click and get the properties of your connection, you can configure many options there depending on the settings of the VPN Server. 
I recommend you do ask your server admin about the required settings of the connection and then change the settings on different tabs accordingly, like the type of encryption and the type of tunneling protocol and etc. or another thing you could do is go
to your desktop and go ahead with the same procedure and take note of the setting from the connection and then change the connection settings on your laptop accordingly. 
That will probably help you

Note, I cannot get through the wizard so I cannot get to the properties of the connection or anything else because it does not get created.  Even when I choose the Don't Connect Now, I still get a Cannot Connect error (I mean why is it trying to connect
if I am telling it not to bother at the moment).
I am about as much as a server admin (at the company) than anyone else here.  I highly doubt there is something wrong from the server point of view as it is working for everyone else including myself on my desktop.  The issue is with the laptop.

  • Unable to connect to workplace vpn with airport extreme

    I have a 6th generation Airport Extreme and I cannot connect to my work place vpn. In the past I used a Netgear router and it connected perfectly, but I have tried everything that I can think of to get the Airport to connect and it does not. Is it even possible to set it up to connect to a workplace vpn?

    airport extreme, Windows XP
    Probably not with this combo, unless you manually forward the ports.
    Apple routers do not use upnp used by PC to open ports. Therefore VPN will fail.
    There are innumerable vpn so you need to find the specific ports required to be opened and manually do it.
    IMHO this is where you are going to find the PC world and the Apple world do not interface very well. It is much easier to use a router.. eg your old Netgear and bridge the AE to do what it does best.. wireless to apple clients.

  • Cannot connect to L2TP VPN from iOS devices

    This weekend I decided to perform a hard drive upgrade on my little 2009 Mac mini that I run as a homespun server as a hobby.  In the process, I thought it would be worthwhile to flatten the whole thing and start again from fresh.
    However, in doing so, I no longer seem to be able to connect to it's VPN from an iOS device.  Both my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) and iPad 3rd Gen (iOS 8.1.3) cannot connect to the VPN server over an L2TP connection – either on my local network or over 3G, even if the local IP is provided instead of a host name.
    Interestingly though, my MacBook Pro has no issues connecting over L2TP when tethered to my iPhone's 4G.  It can dial back home and authenticate successfully.
    The settings are exactly the same on both as both are governed under a single profile containing the VPN settings and login details.
    It used to work before the hard drive upgrade, but can't remember the last time I used VPN on my iPhone.  Just wondering if this is a bug in iOS 8.1.x?
    iOS reports "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond".  Additionally, there is absolutely nothing in the Server's console for VPN or 'racoon'.  In the past when I've had issues, the connect is made but doesn't authenticate or some such.  This just doesn't get to the server in any way shape or form.
    Any ideas?

    I believe the problem is in iOS, as I am experiencing the same issue.
    I have a Yosemite Server running L2TP VPN server and my Mac connects flawless, while neither the iPhone nor the iPad (both 8.2) are able to connect.
    The error is the same "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond" and by looking at the server's log it seems iOS didn't even try to connect.
    I have tried changing the server address in iOS with the corresponding IP, but the results it's the same.
    Maybe a network setting reset?

    I cannot connect to my wrv200 with sony ericsson p990 & nds lite...

    for getting connected to the NDS through the router , try out the mentioned steps on this link ..
    regarding sony erricson P990....i guess u will need to look into its wi-fi settings..
    ensure that if the router has the wireless security enabled on it..it is supported by the devices....NDS lite only supports WEP....not sure about P990

  • User cannot connect to backend system with user J2EE_ADMIN.

    I am using Rapid Installer to initiate the second part of the installtion "ERP 6.0 EhP 3 – Self-Service Scenarios and Automatic Roles".  When I get to the J2EE User section to enter the parameters, the user is defaulted to "Administrator" and I enter my password.  I click next and get this message "User cannot connect to backend system with user J2EE_ADMIN."  Any ideas?

    If this is a double stack installation, you need to enter J2EE_ADMIN as user, NOT administrator.

  • TS1368 Still cannot connect to iTunes store with iPad2. Have tried all suggestions.

    I cannot connect to iTunes store with my iPad2. Not sure why. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears...  Thanks so much!

    Don't know if this has any bearing on the conversation at hand, but I ran into this issue last night. Started when I couldn't purchase anything via Comixology. Which caused a lot of swearing.
    But then realized, that I couldn't get to the Apple store either.
    Figuring that it was my wifi access point being a jerk, I reset that. And "forgot", then reconfigured my wireless.
    Still nothing.
    At this point, I checked our ISP (Charter) to see if they had an outage. They did. DNS servers were hosed. I gave up and went to bed.
    This morning. Same thing. One thing I noticed, was that all of our computers -- not iDevices -- had no problems. Weird.
    So I checked the firewall, and found that every request was going to Malaysia, or Thailand. I have country blocking enabled on our firewall. So, I thought that was weird. Checked the IP addresses that were blocked, and found that they were Akamai addresses. I allowed one device through, to test, and everything works.
    Wondering if Apple is leaning on Akamai for the flood of traffic that the IOS 6 upgrade is causing.
    In any case, if your ISP, or firewall, router, what-not blocks Asian rim countries, it's worth a check.

  • Cannot connect to PPTP VPN

    am working on setting up a VPN on my MS Directaccess server. technically the vpn is up and running and working already. it is using a certificate that is issues to the DA server by the DA server. My domain joined PC's connect fine. I can also connect a non domain joined machine if I import that certificate into the PC. However I cannot connect any OSX clients or my android phone.  We have opened up port 1723 on the firewall.  I have tried to connect from my home and from another businesss locally to make sure it wasnt just my home router causing the issue for some reason.
    I get this in the osx console log (I replaced the external IP with 1.1.1.1 for posting this online)

    On the directaccess server I get this in the event viewer everytime the OSX client tries to connect.  This at least proves that I can at least connect to the server from the outside.
    Event 20209, RasMan
    A connection between the VPN server and the VPN client 24.97.100.42 has been established, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets (protocol 47).
    Im assuming this isnt a port or protocol issus since I can connect via my non domain joined Windows PC.  Im out of ideas as to what I can do next

  • IBook cannot connect to woreless router with airport card

    The Situation
    my iBook G3 dual usb cannot connect to my wireless router. The router is using wpa and wpa2 encryption and broadcasting on 802.11b and g, on channel 12. The SSID is broadcast, but the iBook airport card cannot see it. The card CAN see other networks in my area. My iMac Mini (spec OS X 10.5.5, airport built in) is connecting to the same router and can see the SSID, so its not the aerial.
    I select 'Other...' on the airport menu to connect, and type in my network name and the WPA2 Personal password. I then get the message: 'The Wireless Network <network> does not support the requested encryption method'
    So what's the problem? And how can I fix it?

    I'm having the same problem, but having been through the threads I'm getting nowhere!
    Running a 2001 dual USB G3 Ibook. Connects fine on home network via Airport Express, but will not connect to PC/Belkin wireless network at my Dad's place. Newer macs seem to connect fine - but not my old dear.
    It detects the network OK and prompts for a WPA password, but it is not recognised.
    The router is set up for WPA/WPA2-PSK (AES encryption)
    Tried turning the security protocols off on the router - still can't connect.
    Same circular "network settings have been changed by another application" if I try and use the IBook's network / airport wizards.
    My software is fully up to date - the ethernet connection works fine with the router.
    This is driving me insane!

  • Cannot connect to Lion VPN service unless server is locally logged into?

    I work remotely a lot.  After I upgraded to Lion server, I am unable to connect to the VPN service remotely unless I physically go over to the server (mac pro) and log into the desktop manually. 
    Previously, if my Snow Leopard server restarted (due to power failure, etc) and it re-booted up to the login screen, I could still logon to the VPN remotely as the VPN service would always startup (at the login screen) without a user having to be logging in. 
    Now, with Lion Server (10.7.4), if the server restarts, I cannot login back to the VPN. I have to get someone to go over to the server and manually login, then I can access VPN just fine. (I do not, and will not turn automatic login on on my server due to the huge security risk.) 
    How do I get the Lion Server VPN service to startup before or at the logon screen even if no user is logged in?
    Help is greatly appreciated!

    Can you SSH into the box when VPN isn't working?
    If so, ssh into the box, and look at the VPN logs when you're attempting to use the VPN.  The logs are (usually) in /var/log/ppp/vpnd.log
    I typically look at logs like this so I can see how they're updated in real time:
    tail -f /var/log/ppp/vpnd.log
    If you're VPN login is failing and there is data being pushed to that log, it may help us to figure out what's going on with your system.

  • WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

    Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
    If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
    I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

    I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
    I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
    The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
    Any help will be really appreciated.

    I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
    I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

    This is all behind a talktalk fibre router, they say it's transparent and doesn't block anything but they won't support me any further than that. Ports 443 and 1723 do seem to be open when I scan so as far as I can see the talktalk router is transparent.
    Do I need to create any rules on the RV110w firewall to get this working? or forward any ports to the router itself?
    Thanks for any help, Kevin

    I believe the problem is in iOS, as I am experiencing the same issue.
    I have a Yosemite Server running L2TP VPN server and my Mac connects flawless, while neither the iPhone nor the iPad (both 8.2) are able to connect.
    The error is the same "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond" and by looking at the server's log it seems iOS didn't even try to connect.
    I have tried changing the server address in iOS with the corresponding IP, but the results it's the same.
    Maybe a network setting reset?

  • 'Cannot Connect to iTunes' but with iBooks instead of apps?

    Hello.
    So I'm having that 'Cannot connect to iTunes' problem, but instead of not being able to update or download apps, I cannot syn sideloaded books to my iPad 2? I've tried to sync the same books to my iPhone 5s and I have the same issue, but the strangest part is that it's only certain epubs that will not sync, while some other epubs have no issues and pdfs have none. According to iTunes, the books are on my device and taking up space, however the covers are faded and have a blue bar about 75% loaded at the bottom. I cannot delete them from the device, and have to do so through iTunes. I'm getting really annoyed that half my books aren't showing up on my device. Here are some solutions I've tried:
    Ensuring that I'm using the cord that came with the iPad, and not my iPhone 5s cord
    Uninstalling iTunes, then downloading the latest version
    Restarting my iPad
    Making sure my iPad is up to date
    Deleting all of the books off of iTunes and adding them back
    Trying to sync books in batches of 10
    Resetting my network settings
    Does anyone have anything that will help? I just want to read my books. :c

    Probably a problem with the update server.
    There are many similar cases on this discussion.
