Topic: VPN issues after 7.1.3 upgrade

[stard0g101]

Hi there.

I've been using SME for a number of weeks for VPN access to my office network while overseas. Its been working 100% right up until upgrading to the 7.1.3 update.

The symptoms are that on reboot, I am able to connect to the VPN just once.

When I disconnect and try to reconnect the connection dialogue
returns error 721 (after the verifying username and password stage of connection process).

Most frustrating.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
