Sometimes in Vista, when i try to connect to a VPN, in the Connect To A
Network box, next to the VPN, is says "this network requires an internet
connection". i have an internet connection that is working fine, and i am
surfing the internet.
sometimes it helps to disable the adapter and re-enable it.
any idea as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Paul

Make sure Dial another connection first is unchecked under Properties of
VPN.
