VPN Connection Problem

Hi

I've been using VPN connection to my office from my home for quite some time
already. Last 2 days, I ran the Network Setup Wizard (don't know why I ran
it) and after that everytime I connect to VPN, the process stuck at
"Verifying username and password..." and end up with "Error 721...."

I have another 2 computers at home and both of them successfully connect to
the VPN.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

You may need to add an exception in your firewall. If you ran the networking
wizard it probably reset the Windows firewall to the standard configuration.
You need an exception for TCP on port 1723 for the Local Area Connection.
