You will not be able to use Connection Manager.
Why don't you create a VPN Connection manually?

Hello  rservicer:

From your post I <think> you have already installed the update:

SBSVista_Conceptual.doc

which is listed on Microsoft Tech Net as relating to the problem 'I received an error stating that Client Setup does not configure client computers that are running this version of Windows'

If you haven't, it's here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=46E95C56-1A4C-45BD-8D69-5F41FF8F1F22&displaylang=en

But it looks like it relates to Outlook 2007 and not client connectivity in general, which I believe is your problem.

I, too, have seen problems relating to the 64 bit version of Vista interoperating as a client with other MS software (printer drivers, in my case).


As far as I know, there is no workaround for this, at least until MS gets enough problem reports to deal with it.

BTW I was puzzled by the line in your post:

unless I just open the IP to everything, it gets blocked
default rules just block it

warrenbuckles: Thank you, but yes I had proformed that task

vico1:my god it was that easy all along,  :-)
Nice when you are in the know, that worked almost flawlessly
one change to what you said in my case anyway
1st connection atempt failed
when i selected the check box,
Automatically use my windows logon name and password (and Domain , if any
that did it connected right in and stays connected,
VPN connection properties, Security Tab,
Typical (rrecommended settings) with box Automatically use my windows logon

Thank you so much
Bob Chappell

The fact is if your local username and password are the same at the server, it will work without problems. but if they are diffrent it will prompt you for username and password.

Now notice also when you are connected via VPN, You cannot access  your local internet connection.
If that's the case, Go to TCP/IP properties and uncheck "Use Default Gateway on Remote Network"

Thanks,
Vico1 :)
You are the Best !
I saw that issue, and thought I had another annoyance, I was disconnecting and reconnecting
because ISA 2004 was stopping some functions from working
you are good...
can we expand this?   with another point question?
because I think you may be the only one who understands what I am doing
including the former Microsoft partner that MS talked me into hiring, cost me plenty $$$ with little results

I have always maintained 2 separate networks, in my home and place of work
tied together by my computer, unplugging cables before, then latter disabling and enable
latter using the one gateway, but as you can imagine, it has been hell
then as things expand as they do I found I needed a server and other things that SBS server offered
so update time, but the MS partner even said you cannot do that with networks

so this is where the VPN connection manager came in and it seemed to be a work around
until Vista, and you helped fix that
is what I now have the best approach?
I have tried bridging in XP and it worked great for about 2 days then just fell apart
And would no longer function, tried it quite a few times over time
Anyway that is what I am doing, two disjoint networks together on my one computer
With multi network nics
