The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VPN Server/connection issues with VPN

Asked by MelvinSE in Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Tags: , ,

I've got a few issues, so I'll just rattle them all off in hopes for some help.

Running a Win 2K Server as a domain MEMBER of an NT4 domain.  Active Directory is NOT running.  The 2K Server has ONE NIC.  Our firewall is configured to allow PPTP packets (GRE AND PPTP) packets through to the Win 2K machine.  The 2K box is running RAS and it is configured (i think) properly according to all the white papers I've read.  On the NT4 PDC, I give the user account dial-in priviledges.  When I try to connect from the internet, I get an "Ërror 721" message.  From what I've read, this is probably caused by the server not being able to assign the client an IP address.  I did set up a static address pool.  I can ping the public IP address from the internet.  The VPN Client connection finds the server and asks for a user name and password.  Once those are entered, I get the error after about 20 seconds.  I know this is a relatively common problem, but I haven't found and sites with an actual solution.  Maybe I'm not configured correctly considering my situation with one NIC, no Active Directory and an NT 4 network.  My IP address pool is a group of addresses on my company's LOCAL subnet.  Is that wrong?  Should I make the VPN address pool it's own subnet?  I don't even know if that's the problem.  This configuration is a first for me, so any help is appreciated.Start Free Trial
