Vista/XP VPN issue?

by powster2k7 . Updated 15 years, 11 months ago

Good Evening to one and all,

Hope you guys can help me shed somme light on my current situation.

i am having poblems connecting to my VPN host from the remote site. The problem seems to be only affecting vista/XP machines. i have a windows 7 client and they have no problems connecting to our vpn host. Please see below for site details:

VPN Host: Server 2003 accepting incoming VPN RRAS configure

Remote Site: Server 2003 RRAS configured
Remote Site Clients: Vista/XP/windows 7.

The issue: XP/Vista clients vpn connection hang on verifying username and password. The vista client has to redial a few times and it will eventuallly connnect.

The access point: 2wire 2700 Bt supplied router

Routing is handled by the server 2003 at our remote site.

I would be grateful if someone is able to explain the reasons why the XP/Vista clients are struggling to authenticate but the windows 7 does not have a problem.

Another point to note is that our VPN Host is also a domain controller.

Any thoughts or opinions will be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Jai
