Dear Experts
Please don't steer the topic from PPTP to IPsec and other types of VPN which is more secure than PPTP,,,,etc
I have got this scenario windows 7 is acting as vpn client at home and windows XP is acting as vpn server at work.
At home (LAN address is 192.168.10.x/24)And I configured windows 7 as VPN client same as here :

At work (LAN address is 192.168.1.x/24) I configured XP SP3 as VPN server same as here (except I could not enable PPTP Passthrough on my router because I could not find that option) :

Please be aware
On the vpn server, I have selected administrator as username to be allowed for vpn, subnet that vpn server is using, is : 192.168.1.70-73
On the vpn client I am using the correct username/password.
Security I tried below combinations with no joy:
Type of VPN : Automatic,,,,,,error 800
Data encryption: Optional encryption (connect even if no encryption)
Type of VPN: Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP),,,,,error 807
Data encryption: Optional encryption (connect even if no encryption)
Router that I am using at work (where XP is connected to it) is :
2wire router with below details :
IModel: 2701HGV-W Gateway
Hardware Version: 2701-100655-004
Software Version: 5.29.113.16
Port forwarding 1723 was enabled
Whenever I try to establish a vpn tunnel I am receiving either error 807 or 800
Note:
The VPN server (work deskto) was working when I had at home VPN client as an XP OS not windows 7, but when I upgraded from XP to windows 7 I lost my vpn connection.
Thanks
