RE: Remote Access 'switching off' - Error 913

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



The port is already configured as you describe - the issue is that clients
can only get a VPN connection after running the remote access wizard from
server management. The connection then works fine for a day or so but then
clients get the 913 error message - the only way i can find to fix this is to
run the remote access wizard again from server management.
