We have just installed a new Win2003 Server at our location - single server, dual NIC, domain/AD, Exchange 2003, etc...
Now, I have setup RRAS on the server - after reading MANY articles here and testing over and over and over. I have the ports forwarded and open on our firewall/router, and the client (WinXP Pro w/ SP2) gets to the Verifying Username and Password - then comes back with Error 721. I have again, read many articles and I know my ports are properly opened and forwarded - including GRE 47, TCP 1723. (We are using PPTP). Now, I have taken it a step further at the server side - I have done a NETSTAT -NA and port 1723 is listening on 0.0.0.0 - not on 192.168.2.8. I then went into NETSH RAS and did a SHOW ACTIVESERVERS and it sits there, with no response.
Please advise as to what I should do / try next. We have several users that need access via VPN ASAP, but I am able to passify them with the Exchange OWA client for now.
Thanks - Matt

Ok, I am running that now and will let you know the results. Also, I wanted to add that we can connect via the LAN to the VPN connection, just not through the Internet. And, again, this solution worked when we were on our Windows 2000 Server (w/ AD, etc.) solution. The only thing that has changed is the physical server and its OS. Don't know if that helps.

PS - As soon as the SFC /SCANNOW is done, results will be posted.
Ok...I am in contact with the router/firewall vendor (Edgewaternetworks). We have VOIP at our office and are utilitizing their VOIP ALG (application layer gateway). It runs on a version of Linux, and I have followed their configuration settings per their site for setting up a Windows Server VPN behind their device. But, to no avail. Again, this worked with the SAME equipment before, except with Windows 2000 Server, not 2003.
Thanks,
Matt
