zillah Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Now I have got couple of question :1- Do I need to enable GRE Protocol 47 (PPTP Pass Through or VPN Pass Through) as well, when I read couple of online threads they suggested to enable VPN Pass Through (GRE Protocol 47) with some nasty routershttp://www.chicagotech.net/vpnsetup.htm2- I had not enabled GRE Protocol 47 (PPTP Pass Through or VPN Pass Through)when I had XP as client before upgrading to windows 73- If option 1 is not necessary what could cause this problem ?
