Vista PPTP issues....

[Ash Rile]

Hi

For anyone that may be able to help me..

Just setup my first Vista Home Basic PC for somebody. Can connect to the
PPTP VPN they use to get to their work network without a problem, but i
cant
send any data over that link. The VPN complains it has limited
connectivity
and the connection gets no default gateway assigned to it...

I have tried playing with firewall settings and also adding static routes
to
get to the subnet but to no avail. Although I am assigned a correct IP for
the connection, I cannot access anything down the tunnel and no traffic
goes
anywhere. In the VPN core you can see that I have authenticated no problem
though...

Not running any third party firewalls or anything like that.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Nothing to do with gateway or routing but solved the problem, even though I
had authenticated ok, go figure!

The solution:

1.Click Start, and then type regedit in the Start Search box.
2.In the search results list, right-click regedit, click Run as
Administrator, and then click Continue in the User Account Control dialog
box.
3.Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters

4.Create the following registry entry under the previous subkey. If this
entry already exists, edit it so that it appears as follows:

Name: AllowPPTPWeakCrypto
Value type: DWORD
Value data: 1

5.Exit Registry Editor.
6.Restart the computer.
