hi there,
first time on here and quite a novice to sbs2003, so please be gentle.

im running windows sbs2003, ive managed to set it up as a mail server, ftp
server, dhcp etc etc but cannot setup VPN.

ive tried various website-troubleshooting resolutions but still cannot get
into it.

basically where i am at the moment is the vpn connects to the server, try to
verify the username & password then says;

WINDOWS WAS UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK USING THE USER NAME AND
PASSWORD YOU PROVIDED.

the username/password i am trying is my login user/pass and is part of the
domain users group. i have created policy for my group for vpn & dialup.

You also need to be a member of the Mobile Users group.


i do not have a certificate, could it be this?
if it is how do i create a certificate?

Not for this type of VPN, which is PPTP. A certificate is needed for
HTTPS access, which RWW and OWA need, and also for IPSec.


in my user account on the dial up tab i have selected ALLOW ACCESS.

im running a Draytek 2800G router/firewall and have opened ports 1701, 500,
4500, 1723

You need only TCP/IP port 1723 and protocol 47, GRE.

i hope somebody out there can help me as i seem to be going round and round
and round...


Can you make a VPN connection under your user name and password from
one of the LAN machines? This eliminates ports and firewalls from the
situation. It appears you have some kind of authentication problem.
