VPN on Vista business fails immediately

[Brama]

Hello,
I made a lot of search on this matter but any solution I found is not
working.

After finishing the VPN Wizard, I find in the network connections
windows the VPN connection icon but the "connect" is greyed out and in
"properties" the device that it try to use is a "modem not present".

Someone says that this is due to the WAN Miniport (PPTP) and WAN
Miniport (L2PT) that are not present.
I confirm that in my network devices there is not any WAN Miniport.

How to install them without installing from zero the Operating System?

Someone suggested to use netcfg.exe with some parameters, but it
doesn't work.

Some others suggested devcon.exe but under Vista it is not working.

Thanks for any suggestion and bye,


Mao

Thanks for the links but:

- first one doesn't matter at all about my issue

- second one is perfect but it is for Windows XP and doesn't work in
Vista


Someone else ;-)
