Error 721 Vpn

I have FINALLY resolved an ongoing issue with our VPN connections that we have been experiencing for over error 721 vpn windows xp a year now. I will share these findings with this forum

username and password... And it sit there displaying this message for about 30-40 seconds, then it says: "error: 721 The remote computer did not respond." Network Setup: We have two netopia routers on our network. They both have their own separate WAN connection (we use a lot of bandwidth, hence the need for two WAN connections). One RAS error 721 vpn verifying username and password server is configured to use one router as it's gateway, and the other RAS server uses the second router as it's gateway. When PPTP connections are made, the connection comes in and back out the same router (this I made sure). We use a multi-NAT for routing service request to internal servers. FTP, WWW, RDP, PCAnywhere, SSL, PPTP, MAIL, etc...all these services are routed to internal servers/workstations. We have approximately 32 public IP addresses, hence why we use Multi-NAT for routing public services to internal servers. Everything works perfectly, EXCEPT PPTP (VPN) connections. We have struggled with this for a year now. For whatever reason, it struggles to make a successful connection to our RAS servers. Like I said, it can take up to 6 retries to successfully connect to our RAS servers (up to 30 retries if the remote user is behind a Linksys router). The Fix: Today, I decided to try something different. I decided to use the router's public IP address for PPTP requests, instead of one of

When I try to connect, I get the error "Disconnected. Error 721: The remote computer did not respond." Here is the strange part: The remote PCs can successfully dial out to another server using VPN. Similarly, I can successfully dial into the central site from my work PC. The remote computers are dialling out through a Netgear DG834Gv4 (latest firmware), and the server is behind a Draytek error 721 vpn 2820. I have also tried using the Draytek as the VPN endpoint (instead of it doing pass-through), which again worked successfully from my work PC, but gave the same result from the remote site. I can ping the central site from the remote one, no problem. I can also telnet into port 1723 from the remote site. The central server is a domain controller with AD. At some point in the past, the remote PCs were successfully logged onto the domain, so now log into that (but obviously can't connect). The remote PCs are on a network which contains another SBS 2008 domain/domain controller/AD/server. However, the remote PCs are using the DG834 as their DNS/DHCP/etc. I and my colleagues are totally stumped - we know each end is fine independently, but for some reason they won't work together. We don't think that it's authentication; it doesn't seem to get that far. There's nothing in either router's firewall which would prevent one the remote IP but not my work IP. The MTU of the DG834 has been changed to match the Draytek. Any ideas? vpn pptp share|improve this question asked Feb 5 '10 at 15:28 Andrew C Ok, I've tested the VPN from one of the PCs from the other domain which is at the remote site, and it has the same response - implying that there is a problem with that site as a whole, and not just the PCs trying to connect to the central site.
