    Since it sounds like you are early in the testing of Win 8 RP, perhaps this article from Wiki will help. If not, perhaps a reinstallation using a new download and new slow burned DVD will solve your problem. According to all I've read about this error code this is a system file problem.

    Edit the properties of the VPN account and select the Security Tab. Change Data encryption to Optional. Also check "Allow these protocols". It is highly likely you are using MSCHAPv2 so select that and see if you can connect.
