[nfbcs] Connecting to VPN in Windows 8.1

I wonder if you want to contact Microsoft's accessibility service to help.
They do not limit themselves to assistive tech issues but to clients who use
assistive tech.

Subject: [nfbcs] Connecting to VPN in Windows 8.1

Hello.  Has anybody been able to connect to a VPN in Windows 8.1?  I can
connect to my work VPN on Windows 7 computers without a problem. However,
when I try to connect to the same VPN with my Windows 8.1 computer, I get an
error 947.  When I Google this, I get blog posts that tell me to adjust a
setting in the security tab of the VPN to allow these protocols for
authentication.  I did this, but I still can't connect to my VPN.  Why can I
connect with Windows 7, but nnot with Windows 8.1 and how can I fix this?  I
believe Exchange is being used for the VPN.  I don't know if this makes a
difference, but for the user name, I need to use the format of
mydomain\myusername.
 
Thanks for any help.
