WAN Miniport (SSTP) Malfunction

This may be a long shot, but...

I have a write-up on my site with instructions for fixing the "WAN Miniport
(IP)" device on XP, but it *MIGHT* help you fix the "WAN Miniport (SSTP)"
under Vista:

Make sure to do things as Admin.

Basically, you remove the WAN Miniport device from the registry, then remove
it from Device Manager (you may have to use the "set
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" variable to get it to display the hidden
WAN Miniport devices), and then use the Microsoft tool "devcon" to
re-install the WAN Miniport device.

Devcon is available here:

If you need further assitance in some of the steps, you may be able to
contact me through my website or forum.
