Error 741 PPPoE VPN W/ Win-7
I have a client that has been using a Intellinet wireless VPN router to remotely access her network to access files on her office PC's while away. Ihe VPN works great with Win-XP, but I get a 741 error when trying to establesh a connection with Win-7.
The connection starts OK
Verify user and password OK
Connecting with WAN miniport OK
Regestering Computer on Network - ERROR 741 encryption mismatch
The Vista forum has a regstry work around to allow week encryption, but it does not work with Win-7.
I hope that someone can help me with this issue as I have several clients with the same router.

Hi,
The issue could be related to incompatible router or network adapter driver, security software blocking or spyware preventing the connection, etc.
I suggest updating the network adapter driver on Windows 7 from manufacture's site and router firmware at the same time first. Booting in clean boot and disabling
any security software or firewall.
Also try the following KB. If it doesn’t work, recreate VPN connection to check the result.

If the issue persists, please open an elevated command and reset Winsock.
netsh winsock reset
