[nfbcs] Connecting to VPN in Windows 8.1

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hi,
Have you spoken to your work IT people  about this? Your problem will be 
very hard to troubleshoot without their help. There are many ways a VPN 
can be implemented  on the server side, and just as many factors  that 
could cause it to fail on the client side. You likely need to install 
some sort of certificate or something on the machine you're connecting 
from, but without knowing the exact details of how the VPN is configured 
server side, that's just a guess,

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.
