There is a problem with Vista's PPTP Adapter
Has anyone else come across this yet?
Within 30 minutes to two hours after establishing a PPTP VPN connection to my remote work network (hosted by a Windows 2003 SBS SP1 server) I lose connectivity to my *local* Windows 2003 SBS SP1 server. For example, my local Outlook 2003 is no longer able to "see" its PST file, which is on a mapped drive on my local SBS server (the problem also happens with any files opened by Word). I am also unable to open any of my network shares on the local SBS server. Disconnecting the PPTP session resolves the situation and I can then access my local shares (it is necessary to restart Outlook before it will reconnect to its PST). After restarting the PPTP connection, the process repeats, but this time I can go for days before losing connectivity to my local shares. I experienced this same problem with Vista RC1. I do not experience the problem on the same desktop computer when I boot it up with Windows XP. I have the OEM version of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate so I cannot call Microsoft's support line to report this behavior. Are there any back-door avenues to Microsoft to report this issue?

There's a KB article on this on Microsoft. Sorry I don't have the specific
