Can't access VPN

I haven't had any real problems with my VPN network (as an off-campus source of Internet etc at my university) until recently; I'm not really sure what's happened but I think it's a problem with my computer, as I know other students are not experiencing these problems.

Basically, the client opens up, I click Connect, it asks me for my password - which I give - and then the client starts "Negotiating Security Policies", except it never, ever connects...it just negotiates security policies for a while before giving up and saying "Not Connected".

Any idea what might be causing this? I'm on Windows XP and have turned off the firewall, and the TCP/IP thing is ticked in the connection properties.

Would love a solution ASAP but just a warning - I'm pretty much a dummy as far as technical computer stuff goes, so make your responses in as plain English as you can...

What type of VPN and what client software are you using?

Have you checked with the university network administrators and/or help desk for possible help?

Cisco is the client I'm using.

The university provides some troubleshooting information on their website that I've tried using but has been, so far, no help. And I know it's not a system thing, as plenty of other people are using it and its working perfectly.

Never mind, looks like it was a system problem. Client is working fine now
