A Connection to the Remote Computer Could not be Established.

We are using VPN service connect to our corporate office from remote location. Because of this service, we can access our corporate office resources. It's no matter where we are at, it's only  needed internet access.

But occasionally some unexpected issues occur while establishing this VPN connection. Today we will discuss a similar issue in this article. 


A connection to the remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the network settings for this connection. 




We get this error message when establishing the VPN connection. Typically, with a virtual adapter, the windows operating system established this VPN connection. Due to problems with those virtual adapters, we get error message. So resetting the virtual adapter will solve our problem. From "Device Manger" we can reset these adapters. The following adapter needs to be reset for resolution. These adapter are hidden by default. We need to enable "Show hidden device" option for viewing these adapter. 

Wan miniport IP
Wan miniport ipv6
Wan miniport pptp


To reset these adapter, just right click on that and select uninstall. After the uninstall complete, just restart your computer. 

Here whole process is shown via graphical mode.

To open device manager, open "run" from start menu. And then type "devmgmt.msc". After opening the "Device Manager" console go to "View" tab from "Menu bar", and click on "Show hidden device" option.




Now expand "Network adapters". Right click on those adapter and select "uninstall". Here, you should remember one thing. If you use "PPTP" vpn then you should uninstall "WAN Miniport (PPTP)". If you use "L2TP" VPN then you should uninstall "WAN Miniport (L2TP)".




That's all. After the uninstall complete, just restart your computer. The VPN connection should be established now.
