VPN error 721 ghostdog 02.07.2007 03:36:00 I manage 2 SBS 2003 servers. The VPN connections to both were working fine but stopped last week. Now both hang on verifying username and password and display error 721. Could an automatic update broke the VPNs? One is a two NIC setup with ISA and the other is a one NIC setup. I have read the post about cheap routers not opening GRE but the one NIC server is using a Checkpoint Safe[ at ]Office500 so this is not a "home user" router. The tech support for the unit says the configuration is good. Any suggestions?

Re: VPN error 721 "Russ Grover \(SBITS.Biz\)" <support[ at ]REMOVETHIS.SBITS.Biz> 02.07.2007 04:35:38 Unless Port 1723 has Mysteriously Un checked and the Router is not passing VPN or (GRE) It's a setting on some routers. I'd re Run the VPN connector with a FQDN, set your DHCP correctly and make sure the users are in the "REMOTE" Group Russ -- Russell Grover SBITS.Biz Microsoft Certified Small Business Specialist.

Re: VPN error 721 "Marina Roos [SBS-MVP]" <marina[ at ]roos.nodontwantspam.nl.com> 02.07.2007 12:36:49 Hi, Error 721 mostly is about the GRE not being passed through, but in some cases I have found that the routers don't allow multiple VPN connections being passed through and also give the 721 error. -- Regards, Marina Roos Microsoft SBS-MVP One of the Magical M&M's www.smallbizserver.net Take part in SBS forum: http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=53 "ghostdog" <ghostdog[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> schreef in bericht news:680BC11E-D4D1-4B1C-85D4-CA6F8848414C[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: VPN error 721 "Russ Grover \(SBITS.Biz\)" <support[ at ]REMOVETHIS.SBITS.Biz> 02.07.2007 20:29:45 I would be surprised this is the issue. (Sorry I don't mean to be negative.) But you say you get an error 721 721 is typically an authentication type error 800 error is typically non connect. (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.) If you have ISA and installed SP2 then you'd probably get the 800 error (since it's blocked.) I hope it works, but my guess is it's either GRE or they aren't a member of the remote group anymore.

Re: VPN error 721 ghostdog 08.07.2007 05:20:00 Well, this just keeps getting better. The 791 error has gone away but now I am getting the 800 error. I checked to make sure the login account was a member or the remote group. I found a bunch of blogs about the Windows Server SP2 breaking the VPN on SBS as well as other things. I had the firewall VAR and the manufacturer verify that the firewall was passing port 1723 as well as what else was needed. I ran through the fixes on the SBS blog mentioned in my previous post. I am still not able to connect. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: VPN error 721 "Russ Grover \(SBITS.Biz\)" <support[ at ]REMOVETHIS.SBITS.Biz> 08.07.2007 19:47:38 ok 800 typically means it can't FIND the server, either blocked from port 1723 and GRE (Make sure your Router passes this, some you must turn ON VPN pass-through.) You say yes, so The other thing is that. When you configure Remote Access are you using a FQDN that points back to your SBS box? Because 800 means it can't find/reach the server. (Can you VPN internally? if so then it's your firewall not letting it through.) Russ -- Russell Grover SBITS.Biz Microsoft Certified Small Business Specialist.
