I have a Win 7 Pro VM and I'm trying to get a windows VPN client setup. I can see the VPN machine (I can ping the name plus it says it connects) but it won't allow verification of my username/password.

I found and article that says by default the VPN is shut off but when I try to run the command in this article it says that vzctl is not valid.

Anyone have an idea on what vzctl is or how I can run this command....or even better, how can I setup a VPN client inside my windows VM?

Hi,
the article you mentioned related to different parallels product - Linux Virtuozzo containers.

What about your case: what VPN client you are using? Could you please describe in more details what's going on?

Well....I think I might have gotten past this issue. A collegue found that you have to go to the Network adapter and choose Bridged - Ethernet.

Now what I'm having issue with is that I can't see my local network printer. I put my Windows VM into a WORKGROUP and normally on my PC in a WORKGROUP I can see/install a HP network printer but my Parallel VM can't see the printer. I'm wondering if there is some setting I need to change to have it look at a local network....like a 192.168.1.x address?

If I run an IPCONFIG /ALL in a command inside my windows VM it comes back as:
IP: 192.168.1.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP/Gateway: 192.168.1.1

So it looks like it's seeing inside the network but it still doesn't see the printer....yet my PC can.

I think I've finally got it. Setting the network adapter to Bridged - Ethernet allow for me to create a VPN. Then I ultimately determined that my Hub had a bad port so that is the reason I couldn't see the printer. Once I got a new cat5 cable on a different port I was able to get the printer to install.

Now I just need to figure out how to get my logitech and microsoft software to see my mouse and keyboard and I'll be set.
