Hi All<br />
<br />
I am trying to connect my laptop from home to the office using a VPN connection. The laptop is running Vista Business and comes back with the following error. When I connect from my desktop at home running XP pro it works fine.<br />
<br />
Error 806: The VPN connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be completed. The most common cause for the failure is that one of the Internet devices (for example, a firewall or router) between your computer and the VPN server is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol packets.<br />

VPN connectiion on Vista

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
