VPN Access to Exchange

My PN firewall is OFF.
I can connect to Exchange without ANY problem from other wired and wireless networks including hotels, Starbucks, client offices etc, but almost NEVER from home via PN!
I have Premier Option 1 with home phone and a wireless BT Voyager 2100 router (this worked fine for previous VPN connections).
Anyone any ideas please?

Disable your local software firewall and anti-virus scanner temporarily to see if that is the cause.
Beg/borrow a different router in case the current one has problems with the Nortel VPN software.
What port forwarding have you set on the router and any changes related to VPN traffic?

You could add it to the host file as well as this would solve it

Don't think the IP address for the Exchange server is needed - I can connect the VPN client successfully and ping the Exchange server with name or IP - it's just that Outlook won't connect!
My laptop, without any changes, works perfectly in all other locations. The VPN client connects AND Outlook connects via VPN to the Exchange server. The only place it won't work is in my home, via my PN broadband connection
Therefore, it must be something to do with either my BT Voyager router or the PN connection (or both). Very occasionally Outlook does connect so that makes me think it's not the router.
In the router there is a section under Virtual Server that is called VPN ALG(Application Layer Gateway) which allows two or more simultaneous VPN connections through the Voyager. It is disabled by default, but suggests enabling if you are experiencing problems with your VPN connection - I will try this.
There is no port forwarding enabled on the router.

i had the same thing with PlusNet's BB phone, would work anywhere but my home line - it was the NAT firewall on my router - changed the router to a Speedtouch 510
Also i use a VPN and this refused to connect atall on my old router - i coudln't turn NAT off as this stopped everything, and port forwarding seemed to fair and routing proved fruitless
In may case it was a dodgy router as both work find now - but in yours..
Just a thought.

BBYW option 1 is not really designed for VPN due to heavy traffic management on the account. Perhaps it may be worth trying BBYW option 2 for a month to see if that is any better. upgrading/downgrading is free so it will just cost you £5 to find out.

If it comes to it, we could look at offering you a test RIN connection, which uses BT Retails network and as such would rule out anything specific to us. I would want to check for other more obvious possibilities first though.
I'm watching this one with interest.
