    Can't Connect to VPN


    I can't connect from my home (Win7 Starter) to the wife's office (WinXP Home) via a VPN connection.

    I followed the directions here to setup the VPN Server on the XP system: WindowsXP VPN Server

    Forwarded ports 1723, 500, 51, 50, 47

    Followed the setup a new connection wizard. Can't connect with new account (made in the VPN wizard. Can't connect with an existing account on the VPN server system either. I am able to connect from another home system to the system that hosts the VPN server using pcAnywhere.

    Either attempt gives an Error 800 - the VPN tunnel failed.

    Any ideas on where to start looking?

    Thanks!
    I tried opening up the ports on my Win7 system also and that didn't help.
    The rest of the article has things that I've already done - any other ideas?
