After 3 days of almost non-stop searching I finally found a solution to a problem it seems alot of people have with no answers.

 

Got a virus that corrupted the driver for WAN Miniport IKv2. Could not use my VPN connection to work after that. Everytime I would try to update the driver I would get a message that told me the driver was the most updated available, yet I still could not get my VPN to work and there was a constant error symbol on the device in Device Manager.

The way I fixed it:

- Go into device (WAN Miniport IKv2) in Device Manager (all Control Panel items, system, device manager). Click on update driver option and then select option that lets you find on your own. De-select option for compatability. Choose the Microsoft driver for MAC bridge. Force it through by selecting ok with all of the warnings that come up.

-Go back into Device Manager. The WAN Miniport IKv2 will be gone. In view bar select show hidden. There will now be a MAC WAN miniport. Select it and uninstall with right click.

-Go to Windows update and find "view installed updates" When you get the list, select Service Pack 1 and uninstall it.

-When it's done and re-started the computer, check in the device manager (in control panel, system) and again select show hidden devices in view. There should now be a WAN miniport IKv2 #2 listed.

-Go into networks in control panel and create new VPN connection. It should work.

-If it worked, then go back into Windows Update and download the Service Pack 1 again and install.

 

That's it. I hope that saves someone all of the headache and time I spent on this!!!
