Direct Cable Connection Error (VPN)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

When attempting to allow a LPT1 connection i get "Incoming connections
depend on the routing and remote access service which was unable to
start." When i attempt to start it manually i get "Windos could not
start the routing and remote access service on Local Computer. For more
information, review the system log. If this is a non-microsoft service,
contact your service vendor. Error code 2147483576." The odd thing is
that it will enable every once in a while but never when i try to setup
the connection. If you can offer any suggestions it would be greatly
appreciated.
