SBS 2008 remote access problem with Win 7

February 22nd, 2010 - 04:26 pm ET by LoneWizard | Report spam
Hello, I have installed a SBS 2008 server with remote access. I opened ports
1723 and 47 on the router/modem and forwarded them to the server IP address.
Now using the default Windows VPN client I can VPN into the server with
Windows XP but can NOT with Windows 7. With Windows 7 I get an “Error 800:
The remote connection was not made because the VPN tunnels failed.”

If someone knows how to resolve the Windows 7 problem I would be most
appreciative. Also what ports should be opened for a L2TP connection. Thank
you so much for your help.
