While trying to connect with the Windows VPN client, the client hangs at the 'Verifying user name and password..' message for about 10 seconds, and then I get the following error message:
Active2 years, 6 months ago
Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed.
I can connect successfully using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but not with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Both machines are off the network I'm trying to VPN into and are on the same network. Windows Firewall is disabled on both machines. No antivirus on either machine, clean Windows installs.

Vpn Error 619 Windows 10
I'm using Windows VPN client with the following settings:
The server:
pptpd.conf:
logwtmp
localip 192.168.1.161
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245
The router is a Linksys WRT160N v3 running DD WRT firmware with GRE 47 enabled and port 1723 forwarded correctly to the server.
What could be the problem and how can I fix it?
EDIT(NEW FINDINGS):When DMZ is enabled, the Windows Home machine can connect to the VPN, when disabled it can't. However, the Windows Professional machine can connect in both scenarios. What's even more frustrating is that even if I forward all ports(1-65535) to the server, the Home machine won't connect. The DMZ must do something that the Home Edition can't live without.

I've finally found the holy grail:
This page says the following:
Issues With DD-WRT GRE Forwarding PPTP
A quick fix for DD-WRT not forwarding GRE PPTP packets.
Add the following commands to the startup commands (Administration->Commands):
As a side note, I'm not sure why the Professional machine was able to connect correctly and at this point I don't really care now that I have a real solution that isn't enabling the DMZ.

Connect VPN with Win 7 Pro, then disconnect. Then connect VPN with Win 7 Home, wait for error. Compare the John SiuJohn Siu
/var/log/syslog entries of the two connections.

There are a lot of network related features missing in Home Premium that are available in Professional and Ultimate versions. Features like joining a domain, VPN, RDP and some support for secure protocols are all missing in Home Premium. This could be the reason why you can connect with Professional and not with Home Premium.
Start from this link and you'll see what I mean. A quick search will show you the list of features missing in Home Premium as compared to Professional

Just in case someone gets Error 619 and accepted solution doesn't work - especially when given VPN connection worked in the past: sometimes Skype uses required ports and must be shut down / restarted

Step 1:
Run only one VPN connection to your PC. Remove other VPN connection.
Step 2:
Turn OFF your antivirus and firewall because it’s blocked your VPN connection ports and the error 619 occurs.
Step 3:
If above tips are not helping you then remove your VPN client software and update with latest VPN client software. After reinstalling and reconnecting VPN client then setup VPN connection and also complete your Windows latest update. After resetting VPN connection, then reboot PC and try to connect VPN.

Browse other questions tagged windows-7vpnpptp or ask your own question.Hi,I have a problem connecting via VPN to a Small Business Server 2003 Server from Windows 7 clients; the error I get is “Error 619: A connection to the remote computer could not be established, so the port used for this connection was closed” The SBS2003 Server has ISA installed and Windows XP clients can connect fine from remote networks, I have tried two XP machines on different networks and they both connect fine, however I have tried two Windows 7 machines, both on different networks both with and without firewalls configured and they will not connect, it just hangs at “Verifying user name and password…” The network has been changed recently and it is since these changes that it does not work as the director has a Windows 7 laptop and used to be able to connect. Network Overview The network used to have two SBS2003 servers behind a Netgear router, both were different domains on two separate networks, switches etc, and they used to remotely manage the router to swap the firewall rules between the two servers to VPN into either network, this they wanted to change so they bought a Draytek 2820 router and got a public subnet from their ISP. Their first address is 2xx.xx.xxx.97 and nothing on the network uses this address. Their routers second IP range is configured as 2xx.xx.xxx.98 their fist SBS server has two NIC’s external is set to 2xx.xx.xxx.99 internal is 192.168.32.x. Their second SBS servers external NIC is set to 2xxx.xx.xxx.100 and the internal to 192.168.16.x. The old external NIC settings were 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.16. The internal networks have not been altered The outcome they want is to be able to VPN into the two networks, IE 2xx.xx.xxx.99 and 2xx.xx.xxx.100 Error Code 619 Vpn Windows 7I have tried various things suggested in posts I have read on here and things found using Google but nothing seems to work, I have change authentication setting and types of VPN all to no avail, I have read it might be something to do with ISA and the change of IP address on the external NIC but I would need to do the research in order to change any settings in ISA so would like to pin down the problem first Vpn Error 619 Windows 7 UpdateAny help would be greatly appreciatedDave Comments are closed.
