I'm having an infuriating issue.

At the moment I can set up a VPN connection through the "New Connection Wizard" but it just doesn't show up anywhere. If i look at the "network connections" screen all I see is "LAN or High-Speed Internet" and "Wizard". Neither of which have any of the VPN connections I've tried to set up underneath them.

I have noticed that under my services that the "Routing and Remote Access" service isn't started. When I start it, it fails with an error of 0x80004005 (according to the system log) which appears to be a "generic" error.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this problem as it is seriously hampering my ability to test out some networking software I've written across a VPN :(

Edit: Well thanks to Ian Boyd I can now get a VPN connection. If anyone has any ideas on how to make my VPN connections actually appear under windows however, I'd still really like to know!
