Windows VPN: Error 720 - A connection to the remote computer could not be established

[Algonkin]

So, I subscribed to a VPN (anonine), and impossible to connect to it. I do not know much. I have disabled ipv6, I tried disabling the firewall (eset smart security) and my router is configured to forward port 1723 ( internal router freebox ). In the settings of my connections ( vpn and local) , I have NetBIOS over TCP / IP enabled in the properties Wins. I am getting error 720 when trying to connect to vpn. I think there is a link but am not sure : service "routing and remote access " will not start (without any message during the attempt). All services are started by dependencies cons. Please help me.

To resolve this problem , follow these steps :
Determine the protocols executed by the RAS server and make sure that the RAS service is installed and configured properly (or ask your network administrator to do it for you) .

Once you have determined the protocols executed by the RAS server , make sure your Windows XP computer running one of these protocols :

Click Start, Then PanelThen double -click Network Connections.

Under Virtual Private Network ( VPN)Click the right mouse button on the VPN connection , then click Properties.

In the dialog box Properties of the VPNClick on the tab Networking and make sure you have a protocol executed by the server.

If this is not the case , add the necessary protocol :

• Click InstallOn Protocol, Then Add.
• Click the protocol to install, then click OK.
• Click Close to close the dialog box Properties of the VPN.
