Hi,

I have a Toshiba M400 tablet notebook that has been setup and joined to
my SBS 2003 domain. Everything works fine except a remote VPN
connection.

I am cureentlyover in the UK on vacation and I need to connect back to
my server with a VPN connection. The router I am using to connect to
theInternet where I am staying has VPN pass through as I can test a
successful connection with a Windows XP Home PC that is conected to the
network here as well.

When I try to use either a manually setup VPN connection from with the
Network Connections or using the one created with SBS it keeps on
getting to the stage of 'verifying username and password' and then
restarts again -in other words will not connect.

I can't help but thinking that it is someting to do with a setting on
the Tablet as the XP Home PC works fine and it isn't even a memebr of
the domain etc.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
 
'verifying username and password' could be the GRE issue. If other computer can establish the VPN, but not your computer, I would check the security settings or any security software. This case study may help too,

Thanks for your help Robert. We reset the router and upgraded it's
firmware and then had to reset the local laptops TCP/IP stack to
finially resolve the issue.
