Q: I have a Windows 2000 box with the Cisco VPN client attempts to connect to the domain so that a users own desktop XP Pro hit.
When the W2K PC on our network (not added to domain, connected to the Internet) can remote desktop fine. Once connected to the VPN while on our network, remote desktop is out the door? The VPN is hosed I just can not figure out ho to restore the connection. I can do this same test with another box on our network and it will, in fine, VPN and remote, so I know were good box there.
The had a ton of spyware / viruses, but that was all cleaned up with Spybot, AdAware , Ewido, HijackThis, smitrem, SAV 9.0, etc. All clean. I think something may have got hosed up the all-wise connection. A number of Alltel DSL system to check installed software. There is no firewall so its not like a port is becoming blatantly blocked etc.
When I check the status of the VPN connection is sending data but will not? Zero data receieved.
I played with the MTU a bit .
Could the spyware hosed something, or possibly one of the cleaners spyware? Maybe one of them decided to make something of the VPN needs to block?
Network card not working? Im in the process of changing from a .
I can not ping anything once VPNd except the box itself and the VPN concentrator, but still not receiving packets? Weird?
Any ideas?
Re:speed will depend on your DSL speed and the company's connection to the internet as well as the client
MY XP box is 1GB RAM and I have enough bandwith to the mothership to run IP KVM's from home
Re:I reset the TCP/IP stack and I'm getting packets now. Remote Desktop connects but it takes a long time. That will work for now.
I tried it on our DSL line for fun, but still same results. Good idea though. I hadn't thought of doing that all night!
Thanks!
Re:Sounds like NAT is involved somewhere and the vpn concentrator/client aren't setup for NAT traversal.
But most of the time LAN access is cut off when using a VPN. No split tunneling allowed.
Re:try the VPN outside your network, i think there are problems if you use it internally
at work we have a separate DSL line by the helpdesk to test VPN and other junk from outside the firewall
Re:I tried Ip addy, but not fully qualified. I'll give that a whirl right now… I'm still thinking no since I don't see any packets actually being received by the connection.
Re:have you tried using the IP address of the XP box to connect rather than the name? Or using the fully qualified name?
I have a reserved IP at work but at home on VPN I always need to use fully qualified names for some reason that I can't remember
