make sure to pass ports 25, 443, 987 and 1723 through your router to the ip address of the server. open these ports based on the server configuration. these ports allow different comunications to and from the server. for your vpn issue start with pass 1723 through the router. add the others if 1723 alone does not fix.
It could be because on the Win7 it is trying to establish IPv6 connection also. You can disable it by doing the following:
Go to the properties of the connection.
Click on "Networking" Tab.
Unselect "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
Click OK
Now try to connect.
If you still face the problem please collect RAS trace files and send us. Do the following to collect the traces:
1. Open elevated command prompt in Vista machine (right click cmd.exe and "Run as administrator")
2. netsh ras set tracing * enabled
3. Replicate the problem.
4. netsh ras set tracing * disabled
5. The logs will be located at %windir%\tracing folder.
6. Send us the logs.

Why 25 and 987? That is SMTP and RWW. Don't think these have anything to do with VPN.
I can understand if using SBS, but this is just Win2008 server.

you are correct on the ports. i read the version wrong. 1723 and 443 would be the ports pass router.
have you checked the GRE both at the source and desrination locations and both service providers?

Yes, from my office I can connect from XP, but not from Win7. I made sure GRE protocol is in the server side router.
This is what I have in the router forwarded to the IP address of the server:
IPSec - UDP 500 -> 500
ESP
AH
L2TP - UDP Any -> 1701
HTTPS - TCP Any -> 443
PPTP - TCP Any -> 1723

Windows firewall turned off, 3rd party firewall was on. Once turned off, worked.
Please enable the VPN port in third party firewall.
