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!

GRE not being opened for VPN access any more

Asked by kiwistag in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: , ,

For some reason after reinstalling the Windows server (after a total array failure) the system will no longer allow incoming VPN connections due to failing to allow in GRE packets, from memory all settings for the VPN (Routing & Remote Access) are the same..

The firewall & NAT rules are all ok as it can make a connection to log this message on the server and (PPTP) GRE IS enabled (as well as L2TP) to the same internal IP addresses.

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      Rasman
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      20209
Date:            17/11/2007
Time:            9:54:36 p.m.
User:            N/A
Computer:      SERVER
Description:
A connection between the VPN server and the VPN client (**remote IP address**) has been established, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets (protocol 47). Verify that the firewalls and routers between your VPN server and the Internet allow GRE packets. Make sure the firewalls and routers on the user's network are also configured to allow GRE packets. If the problem persists, have the user contact the Internet service provider (ISP) to determine whether the ISP might be blocking GRE packets.
