Problem connecting to VPN using Connection Manager profile

Hi,
I have just started have a problem connecting to a VPN that uses a
Connection Manager profile. This has been working fine for the past 2
months or so, as revently as 26th June. When i came to connect today
nothing happens when I double click the icon for the VPN either on my
desktop or in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections.

I also can't access the properties from there which I have been able
to access previously. I have re-installed the connection from the
original exe, and even tried a system restore to the 24th June.

Below is the log created in c:\windows\tracing\CMDIAL32.log for one of
the connection attempts.

Please can somebody help me on either the solution, or where to

Hi Richard,
Can you send the remaining RAS logs in the tracing folder? You can send
it to rrasblog@microsoft.com. Please also add this description in that
email. We will take a look at the problem

thanks

Hi Aanand,
Thanks for the interest. I have now used System Restore to set the
machine back to a time way before the problem occured and it now seems
to be working. I will bear the email address in mind should the issue
occur again in future.

Thanks again.
