My Problem:
When trying to connect from a Windows 7 workstation to a PPTP VPN being served by a Server 2003 machine running RRAS I received Error: 720 "A connection to the remote computer might not be established. You might need to change the network settings for this connection." This would happen after the "Verifying username and password" phase during the "Registering your computer on the network" phase.
If you have the right working tools for network operations, you can get a lot of information that can help you control or monitor the network. Here are three tools, WinTracer, PacketViewer, and NetTraffic that are easy to use and provide you with a steady stream of network information.
