Hmm, not an expert, but comparing that to my own XP Pro VPN it looks OK.
You are using a USB connection instead of an NIC. I have heard of some
problems with these as USB can grab a lot of your PC's resources, however I
doubt that is going to be the problem.
I did have exactly your scenario having looked at the KBs, checked the
articles on smallbizserver.net, and worked through everything. I could
authenticate my connection but get no further, despite suggestions in this
newsgroup. It's probably not what you want to hear, but I had the
opportunity to go for the radiacal reload from scratch of my SBS, patched it
up, and simply following the smallbizserver.net article, without amy need
for doing the regedits and stuff, and VPN worked first time!
