    VPN Setup issues

    I am trying to set up a VPN using L2TP/IPSec on a Vista PC connected to the internet by ethernet cable to BT homehub. It simply will not allow the connection through. The help folks at Giganews have run out of ideas. PPTP does work. (Strangely, my Win7 netbook will connect with this protocol wirelessly on the same hub.)
    Any ideas?
