How to set up a new incoming connection for VPN under windows 7 Home premium

For Vista but similar for Win 7...

Also, see this help article...

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-an-incoming-VPN-or-dial-up-connection

Remember that for a PPTP VPN server you must forward/open the TCP 1723 Port through a firewall or a router to the PC server is behind. You must also make sure that the firewall or the router will pass traffic GRE protocol 47 . This is sometimes called PPTP Pass Through or VPN Pass Through the firewall or the router. Windows Firewall automatically communicates the GRE protocol traffic if you make an Exception for the Port TCP 1723.

You can test it by running the test detailed in sections PPTP Ping and VPN traffic in this Cable Guy article.

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb877965.aspx

You can download the tools, pptpsrv.exe and pptpclnt.exe to Microsoft or if you have an XP SP2 CD. To extract the programs on a PC Windows 7 open the CD and select open folder to view files in the AutoPlay window.

    Hello

    As you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system on the new HD.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  • How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

    I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

  • How to clean a HP G61 under Windows 7 Home Premium? He came like a pop up to answer a call on Skype homepage.

    Shortly after the installation of Skype, I got caught off guard by a pop-up window to answer a call. Like a fool, I clicked on 'reply', & voila, machine infected. The pop-up has imitated the Skype logo, & malware puts a shield icon flashing in the status bar that resembles the icon of HP support. The malware slows things to a crawl or makes the apps & Web pages no longer responds. I get messages such as "the program is not responding." "The Web page does not. You want to kill the pages or wait until they meet? "" jucheck.exe is permission to make changes to this computer.
    Google says "jucheck.exe" is associated with an HP support. I ran "Housecalllauncher64.exe" of Trend Micro, who found zero problems & does nothing to infection. Help!

    What have you tried?

    What is the exact error message and when does it occur?

    I do not have this program to try, but have you tried using the compatibility mode of Windows 7 and runs on an operating system (maybe XP) it should work with?

    It is not yet running, then try the "run as Administrator" privilege level as well check box and see if that helps.

    If you can't even install, try to run the installer in compatibility mode to install it that way.
