A while ago I solved it by installing SP1 for Vista. Anyway, I switched to W7 now and a new VPN provider, <a href="http://www.sunvpn.com/," rel="nofollow">http://www.sunvpn.com/,</a> works much better now... There are some issues with VPN in VIsta.

When I used Windows XP on my laptop it worked flawless to connect to the VPN wherever I was. Now I'm on Vista and when I connect to my VPN I get a dedicated ip (v4) from the VPN-server, but then my local network connection that connects me to the internet dies somehow...and that makes the vpn connection die too...I have no idea why it behaves like this and it drives me nuts :( Any suggestions?

I have just got this working. To do so, go into the firewall settings and into whichever profile pc cillin is using, eg 'Direct Internet Connection' and click Edit, Under network control tab, click Add, Call it something sensible like VPN PPTP, set connection outgoing, action allow, type TCP, Specified port 1723, and click ok. Then from network control tab again, click Add, Call it GRE Protocol, make connection outgoing, action allow, ***set protocol to 'custom' then enter protocol number 47, then click ok. Then try again. Sorry, instructions aren't pretty but hopefully they work, don't have time for anything nicer. cheers, Daniel Sean and anyone else who might still be wondering, in answer to your XP PPTP VPN questioon and configuring PC Cillin.

I have opened up TCP ports, should I be opening up UDP ports as well? This is giving me quite a headache..lol. I have also tried to connect using a few different XP home and pro versions...
