How can I connect to a Checkpoint VPN using specific credentials, using Windows 8.1?
When I upgraded to Windows 8.1, the computability advisor told my that my Checkpoint Secure client would be incompatible, and promptly removed it.
I understand that it is possible to connect to Checkpoint via the VPN client built in with Windows 8.1. I've created a VPN connection, and told it to authenticate with user/password, but Windows doesn't actually give me a prompt to supply my username nor password - how can I tell it what to use?

You can setup the username and password during the VPN creation.
while at the start screen start typing VPN - it will show an icon for managing VPN connections - click on that and you will see dialog below and allows you to enter the username and password
I noticed that for CheckPoint the username is grayed out there but if I try to connect, I am am prompted for the credentials at the connection time:

For me, I'm not prompted for the user name/credentials; instead it goes straight to "Verifying your credentials" and then fails with "Failed to communicate with server"

Hmm, it almost sounds like it is trying to use the user you are logged on with. It might be a server side settings but I can't help with that as I don't have control over the VPN box.
