The organization officers, and error 720 a connection to the remote computer cannot be established windows 8 I, are authorized to connect remotely to the office computer using a PPTP VPN. Until last month I had this all working: the error 720 a connection to the remote computer could not be established office computer was WinXP Pro, I had another XP computer and a Vista laptop, others had other computers including some Win7 release candidates. And everybody could connect. Trouble was, they were all connecting to the same vpn error 720 a connection to the remote computer userid, using a shared password; very bad juju. All these systems have now been upgraded to Windows 7, and I can't get the PPTP VPN to work.

Where can I find out what ports SSTP uses? I've chosen the PPTP option but it still doesn't connect. (Just to annoy me more, the office computer is on Win7 Release Candidate - don't ask - so I'll have to set it all up again when the upgrade disk comes, probably tomorrow...)
