VPN error 721 on Windows XP machine

I have found a common problem on most Windows XP machines, where I cannot connect on a Microsoft VPN (error 721) to a Windows 2000 / 2003 server. However, on the same network with the same gateway, I can connect using a Windows 2000 machine. And the REALLY weird thing is, if I firstly connect using the Windows 2000 machine, the Windows XP machine then connects ok. I have found this issue with all versions of XP, with SP1 and 2. Does anyone know of any fixes to help solve this problem?
Thanks a lot, Daniel Murfitt
