VPN stops working: “You might need to change the network settings for this connection.”

A previously-working VPN connectoid stopped working after a client “did some things to fix the Internet.”  It apparently clobbered with WAN miniports.

We were able to resolve this easily thanks to the website here.  It involves running this tool (64-bit machines) and rebooting the computer. After rebooting, the computer will re-install all the WAN miniports (visible in Device Manager.)

If the above link to the tool is dead, you can also find it here: wan-miniport-repair-v2-x64
