   Error 721 WTF? newbie Q

   Hi there.   
   I am new to VPN, but I have set up a VPN at my (very occasional) workplace.   
   The last time I was there I set up the host side of things, came home and   
   tested it ... everything OK.   
      
   I have not been back on site since, so I am assuming all settings host side   
   are the same, the following all relates to my PC at home:   
   Somewhere along the line I deleted the connection, so I have set up a new   
   one.   
   Now I keep getting error 721 at the password verification stage.   
   I have tried pinging the public address, no response.   
      
   I have disabled NIS and used the DMZ on my router for short periods of time   
   to rule out firewall interference. Once I have the connection sorted, I will   
   navigate through the complications of that, but at the moment I can discount   
   that.   
      
   Win XP pro is the platform at both ends.   
      
   I am expected to be able to set up more clients by next week when I return   
   to site, so I am starting to freak out a bit.   
      
   HELP!
