    VPN CONNECTION (LAN: laptop - desktop)

    Hello everyone

    Recently I started to pick up networking and im trying to learn more about it. For the last couple of days I’ve been trying to set up a VPN connection between my laptop (wifi) and desktop (ethernet). Where the laptop is hosting the vpn connection and my desktop will connect to the host. I’ve taken the following steps:
    1. Made the ip for my laptop and desktop static (IPv4)
    2. I made an incoming connection on my laptop (gave it a new name and password). I also set the ip range (so the ip from the host and client will not be in this range).
    3. I have created a VPN on the desktop and put the laptop’s ip as server ip.

    After I press the connect button and have filled in my username + password I get this error message:
    β€œThe remote connection was not made because the attempted VPN tunnels failed. The VPN server might be unreachable. If this connection is attempting to use an L2TP/IPsec tunnel, the security parameters for Ipsec negotiation might not be configured properly.”

    Tried following steps to solve this error:
    [ul]
    [li]Add exceptions to windows firewall, even tried disabling both firewalls (laptop and desktop)[/li][li]Changed the VPN type to PPTP, this gives me another error message: ” The network between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted. This can be caused by a problem in the VPN transmission …”[/li][li]Switching off IPv6 on the VPN[/li][li]Readjusting router setting to allow Portforwarding and set the ip adres from my laptop and start and end port as 1723. Activated TCP/UDP. (dont think this step is necessary because its LAN)[/li][/ul]
    I don’t wan’t to bother anyone but I tried looking for a solution myself but I can’t seem to find it. Has anyone expercienced this before?

    My regards

      Hello Patchoela and welcome to PCHelpForum.

      In order to help us help you, could you answer a few questions?

      Are you using OpenVPN or trying to use something like IPsec?

      Have you made sure any required port and/or program is allowed through your firewall?
