Here is my situation...
My workplace has two locations in the same town. We have already gone to the trouble of getting a static IP from our ISP, and setting up a VPN server in Location #2. The only reason for the VPN is for location 1 to be able to access a storage server at Location 2, hence why I'm not setting up a two-way VPN environment.
Anyway, when I try to dial in the the VPN from anywhere, Windows wastes no time getting to the point of authenticating the username and password, hangs there, and then gives up. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this information is correct. The error message suggest that my router needs to support GRE protocol. I haven't been able to find any helpful information on that, and I'm not 100% convinced that it is the entire issue since I get to the point of authenticating when I try to dial in.
All machines (server and client) are running Windows 7 Pro. The router is a Netgear WNDR3400.
Any help would be appreciated!
