I had stated that the instructions above had not solved the problem. Tried a bunch of things — re-doing the instructions, computer reboot, etc — and still no joy. Finally I reset the modem after having made the recommended changes and voila! VPN works again. 🙂
Sorry, these instructions did not solve the problem. Also, the Virgin router does not offer an L2TP option in the Firewall section of Advance Settings, only IPSec, PPTP, and Multi-cast.
