The node name has already been registered with VPN

[Elias]

Somebody help me!!

I am trying to establsih a VPN connection from my home to my office. See my data:
1. Home machine: running Windows XP Home Edition, with 1 network card active and another one deactivated. Connection to ISP via ADSL with dynamic IP.
2.Office Machine: running WIndows 2000 Pro, working in a Local Network (3 machines at Lan). This machine has 2 network cards, 1 to conected to Internet via ADSL modem with Dynamic IP, and another one to connect to other 2 machines in a Local Network via Hub. Software Rasppoe installed to permit share Internet connection with another machine at network. IP to internet is Dynamic.

Firewall installed in both nodes (Home and Office) is Macafee Internet Suite.

Detail: I am using the software DNS2GO to enable a domain for me at Office Machine.

I have done everything described in Manual, created the Host VPN at Office, exported the Key and generated the VPN client im my home.

When I try to connect the VPN i receive the following message:
"The node name has already been registered with VPN"

Some idea???

tks

That could be for two reasons. One, the Node Name (General / Information page of the global VPN setup) is already in use on the VPN. (I.e. two machines with the name "Local Network of Bob")

A second option is that the connection was broken, but that the TCP connection on the server has not timed out yet. (Happens sometimes) Until that connection disappears, the Node name (VPN Name) is still in use. Normally you can fix this simply by waiting for 3 to 5 minutes, although a restart of the server will 'cure' it instantly.
