Hi everybody,
I found this code but unable to make it work. I like to create a Remote
access service using VPN Network connection in order I could interact with
remote database. I like to created a fixed link to a remote server with
default username and password. With this code, still unable to connect to
remote server as verified if internet connection is ok. Is there anyone who
can help me fixed thia problem? I need help. Thanks.
This inside main class

I don't see where you're checking the return value of the different RAS
method calls. The return value will most likely tell you why the connectoid
is failing.

I am using RasGetConnectSttaus to check for status of ras connection but not
sure how to use this.
Causing a result of 632 even the connection is created.

string user = this.txtUsername.Text;
string pass = this.txtPassword.Text;
this.OpenConnection(connectName,user,pass,"");
}

pPassword,string pDomain)
