It sounds like it wants to automatically configure itself for use with a VPN(virtual private network)

This could be due to a nefarious program. You might want to run a virus check.

If you don't have a home network and aren't planning on connecting to your PC(s) from outside of your home it isn't necessary to set up a VPN.

Others may have some input as well...

if u didn't do this on ur own, it might be a virus.


a vpn isn't a bad thing, just not always necessary for home networks. and it might slow down connections

I was trying to network my PC, to put the Xbox on but gave up after still getting no connections. I turned of Zonealarm while playing XBox live and used XP firewall.

So it is possible something is left from messing on with ports.

Thanks chaps
