I have been unable to connect to my office VPN from my Laptop from home
to work using Microsoft VPN Client. This has worked for me from my
laptop in the past but one fine day it stopped working. I am able to
connect using my Desktop at home.

The dialog box "Verifying Username and Password ..." times out with
Error:721.

I have checked all the preferences and have tried disabling the
firewall etc. and have been unable to get past this issue. Any help
will be greatly appreciated...

It could be the GRE issue. I would upgrade the firmware on the router first.

Updated the Firmware. Still have not been able to connect to VPN. I use
a Netgear WGR614v4 Router/WAP. My desktop is also using the same
wireless access point and it works from my Desktop. Is there a way I
can uninstall/install just the VPN component in the Microsoft TCP/IP
stack?
