Hello,
I have no ideas anymore... I want to connect to setup a VPN from outside. All the XP machines can connect without any issue. The Vista-machines can't connect when they are behind a router. If they are connected directly to a telephone line, or by cable, also the Vista machines can connect to the VPN. So I thought the router must stop some traffic. I already tried 4 different routers and brands. Everytime the XP's can connect immediately, the Vista's not... Somebody has an idea what is causing this? Many, many thanks! Carl |

None. Just a screen that says that the connection can't be made and 3
options (I'll translate cause my version is in Dutch): 1. Locate the problem: says that the router can't be pinged, which is normal. 2. Again: same result 3. Try another connection |

Do a simple test. Can you telnet port 1723?

Hello Robert,
Because it won't work with Vista in clean boot either, I tried the telnet connection with one of the XP's that can connect without any problem. The telnet connection fails with the same error as the Vista: can not connect to host etc. Do you have any other ideas? I want to thank you already for all your time spend on this issue! Carl |
