Error 781
----------
Every time I try to connect to my VPN I get this error; Error 781 The connection requires a certificate. I have never been able to get my VPN to work right, but this is the first time I have seen anything about a certificate. I am using a Linksys BEFSX41 for my VPN tunnel and have TCP 1723, UDP 4500 and UDP 500 forwarding to my server. I have IPSec, PPoE and PPTP Passthrough all enabled. What else do I need to do in order to get this thing working right. What do I have to do, if anything, to the client computer. I have a Linksys WRT54G on that end. I am running Windows Server 2003 in the office and Windows XP Pro at home.

Thanks for any help on this,

Bill

Pre shared
----------
Make sure that the configuration on the Lynksys is using pre shared keys instead of certificates. Maybe the Lynksys is configured for certificates and thats way you get that error messagge

Good Luck
