VPN error 809 windows 7 client

Question

Good day to all,

First off I would like to thank everyone in advance for helping me with this problem. I usually am able to read through forums and usually am lucky to find solutions but this problem has no solution that I have found.

Here is my situation. I have Windows Server 2008 R2. I have added the role, network policy and access in order to run VPN server. My windows 7 clients are able to connect locally to the server. I have configured my router to allow the following ports: 500, 1701, and 4500. When I connect through the internet using a windows 7 client I get the error 809 (The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server is not responding).

So I then decided to try a different client. I am able to connect using my android through the internet with no issues. Only when I try to connect my windows 7 clients I receive this error. It seems that it was configured correctly but maybe I missed something. I have disabled the firewalls on both my server, client, and router with no luck. So I started looking into the problem and was not able to find a solution to my problem. If anyone has any other thoughts or ideas I would greatly appreciative the help.

Thanks again.
