XP as VPN server

[torg]

I`m trying to connect to the VPN server I have tried to set up. When connecting I receive Error 628: The connection was closed.

My question is; what am I doing wrong. Should there be done any configuration of TCP/IP policies, user policies or any other policies that not are Default in windows XP?

Windows XP pro sp2 (Firewall disabled)
D-link linksys router model: DI-604
Router MTU-size = 1492 (Max)
Server MTU-size = 1492
Norton Internet Security(Disabled, otherwise error 800)

Routers Virtual Server List
Name Private IP Protocol Shedule Activated
IPSec 192.168.0.153 UDP 500/500 Allways Yes
PPTP 192.168.0.153 TCP 1723/1723 Allways Yes

A couple of things which you may well have sorted out OK but which aren't mentioned in your post:
- is the vpn set up to allow access to the user name you are logged on as?
- are the settings in your post for the server or the client?

To answer your first question: Yes

Your second question:
The settings are on the server side (in the router working as a vpn - passthrough, the ports are opened for both inbound and outbound traffic)

I have the exact same problem but with DSL604+ Modem/Router. If somebody could help, it would be much appreciated.

i've had the same trouble behind software nat/firewall. error 628. my solution was simple - at first, i only allowed incoming connections on tcp port 1723 and incoming request for protocol 47 (gre).

i couldn't find a way to make it work - but the problem was as simple as i didn't expect it to be - it needed to allow also outgoing connections.

thought all outgoing connections are allowed by default. however - they weren't.

so this is my clue.. not only allow the incoming, but also take care of the outgoing ones... :o)

good luck!
