Download Windows Speedup Tool to fix errors and make PC run faster
In this guide, we will highlight one of the most reported VPN errors by users and how to solve it – we are talking about VPN Error 0x800704C9, No SSTP ports available on the server.
Virtual Private Network, or VPN, is a network technology used by masses of internet users to create a secure and encrypted connection over the internet. Additionally, VPNs are used to bypass geo-restrictions to gain access to any blocked content over the web, like media streaming services. Alongside benefits, sometimes it is tough to set up a VPN client or avoid connection errors.
If you ever encounter VPN error 0x800704C9, it is because there are no SSTP ports available on the server. This VPN error should not be ignored as it can cause a system slowdown or, eventually, a total system crash. This is one of the common VPN errors and is incredibly easy to fix independently.
Fix VPN Error 0x800704C9, No SSTP ports available on the server
In order to fix VPN error 0x800704C9, the user will need to ensure that there are sufficient ports on the RAS server, which are configured for remote access.
- To verify this, follow these steps:
- Open the RRAS (Routing and Remote Access) control panel
- Expand the entry for your server, right-click on ‘Ports’, and then hit ‘Properties’ in the context menu
- Click on ‘Name’ and select ‘WAN Miniport (SSTP)’ from the Name List
- Now click ‘Configure’
- Modify the number of ports in the Maximum ports list as appropriate for you, noting that there are 128 ports available by default
- Click ‘OK’ in the Port Properties window to close it.
Try establishing the VPN connection again to see if VPN Error 0x800704C9 is gone.
As nothing comes faultless, VPN can also now and then come up with errors that are totally resolvable.
What is a VPN error?
A VPN error typically indicates a problem with establishing a secure connection to the VPN server. Common causes include issues with your internet connection, incorrect login credentials, or server outages. To resolve this, check your network, ensure your VPN settings are correct, and attempt to reconnect after a short period. With the help of our guide, you can fix common VPN Errors like error 0x800704C9 that you might encounter.
What is Error code 812 Always on VPN?

Applies ToWindows 7 Service Pack 1 Windows 7 Enterprise Windows 7 Home Basic Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional Windows 7 Starter Windows 7 Ultimate Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a Network File System (NFS) client that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
You copy files to an NFS server.
-
The NFS server or the NFS service is restarted.
-
You try to copy files to the NFS server again.
In this scenario, you cannot copy the files. Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem. Error 0x800704C9: The remote computer refused the network connection.
Cause
The issue occurs because the portmapper service changes the port number of the NFS lock manager service (nlockmgr) after the NFS server is restarted. However, Windows 7-based and Windows Server 2008 R2-based NFS clients cache the original port number that was used to communicate with nlockmgr. The NFS client will try to use the cached port number until the NFS client service is restarted.
