Are you getting this error message when connecting to a virtual private network?
Error connecting to BLAH.
Error 850: The Extensible Authentication Protocol type required for authentication of the remote access connection is not installed on your computer.
The fix is easy. I’ve documented the steps below:
1. Open the VPN connection properties.
2. Click the Security tab. Note the authentication radio buttons. Notice how neither of them are selected? It has therefore assumed a default option which isn’t appropriate for the network you are trying to connect to.
3. Select the correct authentication protocol. If it is a Microsoft PPTP implementation then try the following configuration shown on the screnshot attached.
4. Click OK and attempt to connect again.
Screenshots attached.
Thank You.
