Hi All,

I am having the same problem as well. The only thing differ is that I am
using Alcatel SpeedTouch 510i v4 with latest firmware. Even i did configure
the IP protocol GRE 47, but still having the same problem.

I have changed my router from the previous model SpeedStream 5200 (also
having the same problem - error 721) to SpeedStream 5660.

So far, my office ras server only worked on speedstram 5660.

Thanks!

Best Regards,
Andrew
