VPN Client Connection Error 619 Win 7 Home Premium 64bit...

Hi Everyone,

First time poster here, hoping I can get this issue resolved. I've been googling all over and see a lot of others with the same issue, but no solution in sight.

While trying to connect I get the "Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed." message after it hangs at "Verifying user name and password..." message for about 10 seconds. I can connect successfully using Windows 7 Professional 64bit, but not Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Both machines are off the network I'm trying to VPN into and are on the same network.

Windows firewall is disabled on both machines. No antivirus on either machines, clean windows installs.

Client:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Using Windows VPN Client with the following settings:
Options tab: Unchecked "Include Windows logon domain"
Security tab: Type of VPN set to PPTP, Data encryption set to Optional, CHAP and MS-CHAP v2 checked
Networking tab: IPv6 disabled, use remote gateway disabled
Network IP(DHCP)/Subnet: 192.168.10.x 255.255.255.252

Server:
pptpd linux package running on Raspbian Wheezy OS
Network IP(Static)/Subnet: 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0

Router: Linksys WRT160N v3 running DD WRT firmware with GRE 47 enabled and 1723 port forwarded correctly to the server

Thanks for the help.

Bump for hopes and dreams that one day VPN clients of all versions of windows can be seen as equals and they will stand together firm and strong and show the world!
