VPN for beginners - Help required Please

[Caslon]

Hello

This is a whole new world for me and I'm learning as I go, so please be gentle.
I have a Windows 7 machine working as a VPN server at my home office and it has a Marvell Yukon 80e8053 Gigabit Dual NIC. I'm trying to create a VPN connection back to my home LAN whilst travelling and I'm having difficulty. I've followed the instructions and I'm told I'm connected, but I don't see any devices or receive an internet connection through my server. I'm also not able to delete a couple of bridges and I wasn't able to create any new ones either, until I updated the Yukon drivers to the latest version. I was then able to create a new bridge, but I still cannot delete the old ones. The whole bridge creation area has been lumpy since I started.
What I'm trying to achieve is access to my home LAN and to have Internet access via my home router, with it's IP address.

Many thanks

What sort of problems are you having with bridge deletion? Any error messages?

[Caslon]

"Object not found"

Are you trying to use Windows's bridging function?
Please try using the local bridge function of SoftEther VPN Server.

I am using the SoftEther Bridge function and not Windows and "Object not Found" is the message I receive when I try to delete any existing bridge

You can initialize the VPN server by deleting the configuration file after stopping the VPN server service.

Thanks Thisjun.

I've deleted the config file and reconfigured the server. It all seems to be working in as much as I receive an IP address from my TP Link router at home, but I don't get internet access or the external IP of my virgin media modem.

Thanks for the help

What configuration did you do?
