Error 720 - the connection attempt failed because your computer and the remote computer could not agree on PPP control protocol.

  3. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
  4. On the View menu, click Show hidden devices.

    Note You can restore the changes that you make to this registry key. To do so, double-click the backup-key.reg file that you saved.

  10. Right-click the subkey whose DriverDesc value data is WAN Miniport (IP) (for example, right-click 0005), and then click Delete. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the key.
