I currently have a router (2Wire Home PNA) that is connected to 3
computers in my home, one of which is a laptop.

I wanted to try wireless so I bought a Wireless access point to connect
to my router (DLink AirPlus Extreme G - model G700AP). I also bought a
Cardbus Adapter (DLink model G630Z). I connected the wireless access
point to my router and was able to use the wireless connection to
access the internet without a problem.

However, I also use this laptop for work, and in order to connect to
the servers at the corporate office, I use a VPN dialer to make the
connection. I found that I am unable to use the VPN connection through
the wireless connection, thus defeating the purpose of the wireless
connection. I had hoped that I would be able to connect to the vpn
wirelessly so that I could take my laptop anywhere in the house.

Whenever I try to dial in, the VPN dialer just says "Initializing the
connection.. Initiating TCP to ##.##.##, port 58442." However, it
never connects.

I'm not very well informed about networks and VPN, so if anyone can
provide a simple answer and a solution I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks!

I have 3 different connection sequence, 1 hard wired, 1 wireless, 1
cell phone. I just select the correct connection sequence form the
connection menu and connect.
