Re: PPTP misery

Thanks for coming back to me. Answer:
Apologies - it's just the way I wrote it. I mean - because they only really
use email via RPC/HTTP, they DON'T use VPN for this any more and having not
done so, can't tell me when PPTP fell over exactly. It definitely did work a
couple of months ago and it definitely does work on any non-domain machine I
care to try it on.
[Incidentally, PPTP doesn't work on the domain-PCs irrespective of the
profile you use, including Administrator on the local machine).

Any help, still much appreciated..........

And why are you using VPN for 'mainly email use away from LAN'?? You don't
need VPN for that. Outlook over the Internet only needs 443.

Please clarify a couple of things

You say you installed Exchange SP2 but wanted to avoid SP2 on SBS2003, did
you mean R2 for SBS?

You put on IAS and PEAP, were those on before you started this?? OR Did
you do this for the IPAQs

Background - SBS2003 Std in CEO's home with 3 laptop users out and about
during day. SMTP & POP email; RPC/HTTP Outlook (NTLM won't work though);
PPTP
VPN -all working fine for 6 months. SBS is set up with twin NICs and
separate
PnP BT 220V firewall router - all fine. Client wants to use push email
with
Mobile 5.0 on iPAQ6915s. Put SP2 on Exchange (seems OK, trying to avoid
SP2
on SBS2003 for moment), put on IAS, CA with self-issue for now etc, load
server certificate, RRAS set up for certificate & PEAP (MS-CHAP)
authentication. All ready for testing.

Problem - PPTP won't work off any of the domain laptops anymore! Need
PPTP
for basic testing and it had always worked. Now broken, so have actually
moved backwards! Assumed it must be something I'd broken BUT found out
from
client that they had stopped working about a month before. Client hadn't
worried because VPN only occasionally required - mainly email use away
from
LAN. Therefore, although above SBS info useful, not sure there isn't
just
a
problem with XP Pro client machines. Basically, get Error:721 on every
machine that has been on domain. PPTP VPN works perfectly from any other
machine you care to try it from. Thought it must GRE problem on Windows
Firewall (Group Policy has greyed it out irrespective of whether you're
on
or
away from the LAN) - but it can't be. Reason - took a machine off the
domain
to get at switching Firewall off - problem remained. Saw this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271731 and thought the regedit might
help -
it didn't. However, it must be something to do with the registry surely?
All
SBS and XP updates have been allowed on server and client machines. Has
one
of these done something?

It may be that I'm missing something awfully obvious but either way I'm
"proper fed-up". Desperate to get it sorted. Any help will be much
appreciated.
