VPN From Windows 7 Professional to Windows Server 2003 R2
I'm having issues connecting to our VPN at our business from my new Windows 7 professional PC. I have all the settings setup the same as the XP systems that VPN fine right now. I have tried searching the forums for an answer if you can provide me with advice on how to solve this issue I would appreciate it.

I'm not sure specifically what your issue is, but I have the same configuration setup at our office. I have a Win7 (x64) laptop that uses the Microsoft VPN client (L2TP/IPSec) and connects to a Windows Server 2003. We use a pre-shared key for our configuration and CHAP/MS-CHAP for authentication. I would say about 60% of the time when my users have setup problems on their Win7 systems, it is because they either forgot to configure the pre-shared key or configured it incorrectly (i.e. mis-typed it). Another likely culprit are firewalls on your client computer. If you have any 3rd party firewalls (Norton, McAfee, etc.) you need to make sure either the MS VPN program or the appropritate VPN ports for you connection type (LT2P, PPTP, etc.) are open. Just do a search for your connection type ports and you should be able to readily find them. Just some ideas.
