      Over the last several months, I have been researching an issue where Dell computers are not able to access.

      As it turns out, Dell's Factory installed software SmartByte is the culprit.

      https://www.rivetnetworks.com/smartbyte/

      Turning it off allows for connection to the VPN (L2TP with preshared key).
