Re: PPTP Site-to-Site VPN problem

I removed SP1 from both RRAS servers after removing hotfix KB898060-V2 but
unfortunately I *still* have the same issue.

I've now re-installed SP1 as it's removal broke some other apps (nothing
that I couldn't have resolved with a bit of time but as it didn't resolve
the issue that this post is about I re-installed it).

I've seen a post referring to a supported hotfix KB897651. It refers to
Win2k3 servers that run ISA Server 2000 (not quite my setup as I don't
currently have ISA server installed on any of these servers) but the
symptoms are similar and at this stage I am willing to try and install this
fix to see if it resolves my issue. As I need to call MS for the hotfix it
will probably need to wait until next week.

I'll post the results here.
Thanks.
