Re: SBS VPN and a big bag of other ponerations:

Thanks for the exchange answer! That was just what I was looking for! The VPN error is due to my home ISP blocking the required ports, apparently a security measure to protect their customers but in my opinion a measure to protect their profit margins.

Many thanks for your help!

A quick look at the google hits for VPN error 800 show a consensus to blame the router. GRE is protocol 47, not port 47. Does the router have a setting for VPN, PPTP Pass-through, GRE, protocol 47, or similar? There's also a KB article saying to check for current router firmware if you get error 800.

As for the Outlook question, that one's easier. Put the public folders in the users' Public Folder Favorites. In Outlook, go to Tools -> E-mail Accounts -> View or change existing e-mail accounts -> Next. Select Exchange Server and click Change. Make sure Cached Exchange Mode is checked. Click More Settings and, on the Advanced tab, click Download Public Folder Favorites.

Sorry, the wife question is OT ; -)

Im sure it is ME not SBS but im having all sorts of issues of late and i getting to the point where I need to sleep again. If anyone can offer some advice id be well grateful!

I have run CEICW and the remote access configuration doo-hickie on the todo list (both many times) but I can not get VPN to fire up, error 800: is this a common issue related to user not configuring something correctly? I have run diagnosis (well vista offered), client firewall ok, can ping vpn host (by ip and name), router device apparently configured propperly also! I am stuck without any further avenues to explore. Ports 1723 and 47 open and everything else is working RWW, Exchange email (thanks to Anna and Lanwench, cheers girls).

Off my main gripe topic, can i make outlook (on clients) download local copies of public folders, contacts and a shared calendar? Also, is it at all possible to configure a wife to make more coffe and bring more snacks?

Thanks for any and all help!
