So, the TAP-Win32 Adapter is disabled. When I right click it and I try
to enable, a pop up appears simply saying "Connection Failed!". Trying
to connect to the VPN server fails also with the following message in
the log file:

Sat Dec 02 12:55:55 2006 CreateFile failed on TAP device:
\\.\Global\{C9A51F7D-9F1F-4CA5-B6CC-DAB706BEA691}.tap
Sat Dec 02 12:55:55 2006 All TAP-Win32 adapters on this system are
currently in use.
Sat Dec 02 12:55:55 2006 Exiting

I tried to delete all TAP-Win32 virtual adapters and then create one.
It was created successfully but is disabled again. When I tried to
enable it it fails with the same "Connection Failed!" error.

As I said earlier, we have several working Windows XP VPN clients, so
I think the problem is with that specific machine, but I am pretty
clueless. The machine is connected to Internet via a Linksys router
and I have the feeling that it may block the VPN connection...

Could you please help me with resolving this issue?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards
Ivan
