The VPN worked fine for a few weeks and then stopped working giving me the "Error 720 - A connection to the remote computer could not be established." I've switched VPN servers and turned off firewalls which have not resolved the issue. I'm hoping that it is just a bug in the yet to be released OS because before I started receiving the error 720, internet connection sharing would not work using the VPN either. Has anyone experienced the same issue and know the fix? Saturday, October 13, 2012 8:06 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote I tried all the solutions you recommended and I hit a brick wall for one reason or another during the process. I couldn't uninstall TCP/IP because it wasn't an option and the netsh would not run without admin privileges even though I was logged in under my admin account. I ended up doing a system refresh which fixed the error. This machine has gone through vista to 7 and now 8 so losing all the old "baggage" applications probably isn't a terrible thing. I'm still having issues with the apps from the start screen (xbox music, news, video, etc.) telling me they aren't connected to the internet while I am using my VPN service. I will post that issue in a separate posting. Thanks for all your assistance. I still think there are some inherent bugs in 8 that need to be worked

Needs more details. A lot more details. And may be more suitable for SuperUser anyhow... doesn't seem like it's a professional admin problem, at least as described. –HopelessN00b Dec 29 '12 at 0:40 thanks HopelssN00b, I'm not sure what info to provide that will be most helpful, if you let me know what info you need I can try and provide it. I'm happy to move to super user if that will be more appropriate. –campo Dec 29 '12 at 1:13 I don't know either, but look at what you have provided us - basically that a bunch of your PTPP VPNs throw a 720 error when you use Windows 8. Uh, alright, but that doesn't have any information that's going to be much good for troubleshooting. –HopelessN00b Dec 29 '12 at 1:22 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 13 down vote Got this problem after migrating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.

This problem seem to be only with Win8 and 8.1 users. Once the message appears, a VPN connection cannot be established until a repair is made. The problem (cause https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/65878-correct-a-vpn-720-error-in-windows-8-and-8-1 not fully known) is in the WAN Mini-Ports. The solution is to remove https://www.vpnhosting.cz/index.php/clanky/wan-miniport-repair-tool-solve-vpn-and-dial-up-error-code-720-and-similar-ppperrors.html the WAN Mini-Ports and allow Windows to recreate them. Removing the WAN Mini-Ports can be a chore, but there is a utility that has made this a quick and easy process for me. I've now used it on many of my clients computers without issue. The utilities are at this site: https://www.vpnhosting.cz/index.php/clanky/wan-miniport-repair-tool-solve-vpn-and-dial-up-error-code-720-and-similar-ppperrors.html Run the appropriate error 720 repair tool, reboot, run the appropriate install tool. Problem solved. 2 Comments Cayenne PeterB123 Jan 24, 2014 at 08:17pm I had similar problems with 8.1 Pro clients when connecting to PPTP and IPSec Windows server hosted VPNs, and it may not be your issue, but I had to turn off the Automatic negotiation (assuming you're using the Windows VPN client) and specify the type, encryption, etc. matching what I error 720 windows was accepting on the Windows server side.
