I had a working VPN connection with Windows Vista, my computer encountered an
error and the resolution was to upgrade to Service Pack 1. I did and now my VPN connection does not work. I can bring a laptop home from work (Windows XP) and it will connect. Anyone have any ideas? I have gone into the properties to make sure the settings did not get changed. |

Any errors when you try to establish the VPN?

I get the following:
Error 806 : The VPN connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be completed. The most common cause for this failure is that at least one internet device (for example, a firewall or router) between your computer and the VPN server is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol packets. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator or Internet Service Provider. The only change made is the upgrade to Vista Service Pack 1. Thanks. Steve. "Robert L.

In most cases, VPN error 806 is GRE or port 1723 issue. You may want to use
PPTP tool to troubleshoot it. This post may help.

I had already turned off my ZoneAlarm Firewall thinking that might be the
problem but it did nothing to help. Any other suggestions? Steve. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: In most cases, VPN error 806 is GRE or port 1723 issue. You may want to use PPTP tool to troubleshoot it.

I've seen cases with ZoneAlarm where turning it off didn't work. Try
uninstalling it. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "SKIHO" wrote in message ...

Do you know if it has worked with Zonealarm uninstalled and then reinstalled?

Sorry, no I don't. I don't like ZoneAlarm. In my opinion software firewalls
aren't of any real use except for blocking unsolicited incoming traffic so I just use the Windows firewall. Over the years I've seen so many problems caused by 3rd party firewalls that I routinely uninstall them when encountered. It's quite amazing how many networking problems this fixes. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "SKIHO" wrote in message ...
