Quote from: yamahagirl Before I did the factory reset I did get an error message in the router Internet test that said that the DNS server was not accessible.
That is normal behaviour on the TG585v8, it reflects a test suite error not an actual service error. The red crosses can be safely ignored. The DNS server IPs you have are appropriate ones.
Since things are working correctly now I doubt that capturing data flow is worthwhile. However users might find a complete list of set-up instructions useful. Possibly that's mostly what is contained in the following quote but made into a line-by-line list.
Quote from: yamahagirl I have to say I wasn't sure if it would work but the UPNP was enabled as well as the Extended Security by default so I did not touch any other setting. I also did not need to add in my laptop to the Apps/Game for PPTP - this has been left blank.

I left the VPN connected while I went upstairs to do something and came back down to find it had timed out. Restarted it all again and even restarted the laptop but getting the same issue with the SSL Tunnel ending. It is the standard Microsoft UAG solution which i think is IPsec and not PPTP but guess the Wireshark capture may establish that?
I have downloaded Wireshark and have got the logs for the network card and SSL - not sure if it is ok to attach them on this forum or log a support call?
I did log back into the router and have attached the error log i found of the time when I did manage to connect to the VPN if that is any help.

I can make some changes remotely on your router and see if that helps. Your router will be off for a few minutes while I do this. Can you tell me when that would be convenient for you.

Thank you - my router is ok for you to remote to any time today although I have changed my default password but assume you don't need that?

Just logged on at home and unfortunately still no luck - the SSL tunnel session ends even before I open Outlook - do you think it could be a faulty router? I still have the wireshark logs from the trace i did yesterday if they will help.

My work IT department called me this afternoon and asked me to uninstall the old CISCO VPN software then remove the tick from the "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" in mail settings. There is an issue with my laptop that means noone can remote into it even though the remote access box is ticked. Hopefully resolving that on Tuesday when I meet up with one of the technicians at work.
I hardwired in to my laptop at home rather than risk wireless as that seemed to drop out a lot and dare not try wirelessly connecting as it is quite unstable - not sure if this is a typical Thomson router issue or maybe problems with my router (which is new). Any ideas why it might not work on wireless?
So fingers crossed it will work tomorrow and thank you very much to all those who have responded.
