    Hello All,

    As most of you know, after upgrading to SP1, Vista completely kills connecting to VPN's for some reason. I've researched it endlessly and have come up with no solution. I've tried deleting the VPN and re-inputting it. No luck. I really don't want to uninstall SP1 as I find it faster and more stable than RTM Original. Does anyone have any advice for me?

    Oh, and it's kind of urgent because I'm using the VPN to bypass my school's 2GB/day limit. I know like it sounds like a lot, but a simple streaming video in a decent resolution and some Halo game playing saps it up like crazy.

    Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

    Limits are put in place for a reason, and NBR isn't going to help you bypass them. Closed.
