Can no longer connect to remote server via VPN

I recently installed OS 10.5.8, and have found that I can no longer connect to my server at work. The VPN itself (via PPTP) works fine, it's just that when I try to connect to the remote server (via Connect to Server) I get a dialogue saying 'A volume failed to mount.' A further dialogue says 'Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error code -6602)'
Has anyone found a way around this, please? I'm disabled and I need to be able to work from home – without the connection I'm stuffed! Obviously I've tried rebooting the machine etc, but nothing seems to help.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.
Kitty.

For some random reason this connection has begun working again – please ignore the question!

  • ITunes 8: I can no longer connect to remote speakers via Airport Express

    Cannot connect to my remote speakers, worked before iTunes 8"
    I have restarted the computer, iTunes, QT 7.5.5, run disk utility
    I get the following error code (-3256) Apple KB research says:
    AirTunes: Error -3256 when streaming to multiple AirPort Express units 
You may see this message: An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker speaker_name . An unknown error occurred (- 3256 ).This occurs with iTunes 6.0.2 or later.SolutionIf you use a third-party firewall or router, make sure that it is configured to permit UDP traffic.

    I followed the KB link, tried KB solution, then I sent this off to Apple.
    "Mac G5 2.0 Ghz, OS 10.5.4 just installed iTunes 8, one (1) Airport Express connected to remote speakers. Firewall under Sharing in System preferences does not offer firewall access. Firewall is under Security but "Advanced" is grayed out.
    Cannot connect to my remote speakers, worked before iTunes 8"
    I have restarted the computer, iTunes, QT 7.5.5, run disk utility, unplugged the airport express.
    My G4 PowerBook running an earlier version of iTunes connects without problem.

    I just got off a 30+ minute phone call with an Apple Support rep about this. I'm getting error -3256. The rep was patient and tried hard to solve the problem, but was basically clueless. I have a case number and was encouraged to call back tomorrow to speak with a product support specialist.
    This stinks. AirTunes is my primary way of playing music from my computer. With no obvious way of rolling back to iTunes 7, this is a big deal.

  • Can no longer connect to SMB server after upgrading to Lion

    We have a MacBook Pro that was running 10.6.8. The user upgraded to Lion, and can no longer connect to a Windows 2008 file server. (We have two offices connected through a hardware tunnel, but i do not think this is the issue.)
    We have tried to connect in the Finder (smb://[email protected]/). It asks for usr / pass, and then just hangs on "Connecting to server"
    We can ping, have tested these credentials on other computers, and tried other credentials on this computer, to no avail. Furthermore, we installed a fresh copy of Lion on another computer, and successfully connected, so I don't think the issue is with Lion itself.
    There must be something from the previous install that did not "upgrade" properly, but I don't know which file / setting it could be. It is system-wide setting, as we have also tried another user account on this same Mac.
    We've also run Onyx to fix permissions, clean out all caches, etc.
    Any idea what file i can change, modify, or delete?
    Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • 10.4.7 - can no longer connect to mail server (SSL)

    After installing 10.4.7 I can no longer connect to my mail server.
    My mail server uses SSL on port 993 - but when I look at the error message when mail tries to connect I get the following:
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account <accountname> or try again.
    The server error encountered was: The connection to the server <servername> on port 0 timed out."
    Why is it trying to connect on port 0?

    Found the solution in MacFixIt - unchecking the SOCKS proxy fixes the problem.

  • Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server

    I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
    At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
    If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
    Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
    On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
    I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
    If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
    Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
    My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
    Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gary

    OK. A quick update.
    After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
    I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
    I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
    Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
    Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
    Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Can not establish L2TP connection to Mac Server via VPN

    Hi,
    I am asking for some help on this VPN Problem:
    since yesterday I have a new Mac mini Server running OS X 10.9.3 and Server Software 3.1.2 - my goal is to reach some deivces in my home network from outside, mainly with the iPhone or iPad.
    Dyn.org
    I registered with Dyn.com a hostname using my outside IP Address. Server Type: Host with IP Address and used the IP Address presented to me in the stup wizard. This one is shown as active and when I ping or Lookup the Host Name it is responding - so I think I am fine here.
    Mac Mini Server
    Next I have setup a user on the server who can use VPN. Next I have setup the VPN service with L2TP, using the Host name von dyn.org, a nice shared secret, IP range 10.0.1.190 to 10.0.1.199, DNS 10.0.1.1, no routs.
    I exported this as config file to my iPhone.
    The VPN Protocol in the Server says, it is listening for connections.
    When I turn on VPN on the iPhone it replies always L2TP-VPN-Server has not answered.
    AirPort Extreme
    The AirPort Extreme is configured by the Server with Ports 500, 1701, 4500 and the Mac Server 10.0.1.26 as Privat IP Address.
    The Internet Tab shows Router and DNS as 192.168.211.1 and IPv4 Address as 192.168.211.109
    I actually do not understand why I have a 192.168.xxx.xxx DNS and router entry while I have the Privat Network on 10.0.1.xxx
    The Protocol for VPN just says nothing at all, besides that it is listening. I guess something is blocking the connection to the server.
    By looking at my above configutation - what am I doing wrong? Why do I get this L2TP-VPN-Server error message? I changed the password for the user to be sure I am not miss spelling it. Did not help.
    Any idea?
    Thank you for your support!
    Regards
    Klaus-Martin

    According to your IP addresses you listed, you might have two devices that are trying to create a NATed network (one in the 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16 networks). Can you list what devices you have between your server and the Internet?
    I'm going to take a guess that you have a router/modem prodived by your ISP, and this is going to give you a 192.168.211.0/24 network (since it set up as a router to provide its own network). You then plugged an Airport into this router and configured it to set up its own wireless network on its own subnet (10.0.1.0/24). The server is on this network, sees the Airport (and lets you configure it). So while your hostname points to your external address (which is good), it's just that external address is the WAN side of the modem/router and not the Airport. I think your network is set up like this: Internet  --> ISP modem  -->  Airport --> Server. If this is the case, you need to set up the ISP modem/router to port forward L2TP ports to your Airport (which in turn, port forward to your server). Or you could set your ISP modem/router into bridge mode and have the Airport dial the connection to the ISP (more complicated).
    Have you tried VPN from the local network, say put the phone on wifi and make sure that works? This would be a quick test to make sure the phone and server are set up properly.
    Also, have you tried port scanning your host from a computer outside your network, like from an iPhone on celluar? That would help you determine if you have routing configured properly for the L2TP VPN ports.

  • IPhone and iPad can no longer connect to iTunes Libary via Remote

    Up until a couple of hours ago, I had no problems controlling iTunes on my MacBook Pro via my iPhone or iPad. Now, on both devices, I get an error saying it can't connect to my Library.
    All devices are connected to the same network. I get the error whether my firewall is on or off. I have tried re-adding the Library. When I do so the relevant device shows up in iTunes and the pairing process SEEMS to work. It tells me that my iPhone can now control my library, but it still can't connect.
    I've tried rebooting the router.
    All devices show the same ip address for the router and all are on the same subnet.
    I've just upgraded iTunes to 10.2.1 and everything on the iPhone and iPad has the latest upgrades.
    Also when I go to the iPod app on my iPhone and go to More -> Shared -> and then my library, I get an error saying "Cannot Connect to Media Libary"
    I've seen this advice, "You must also have the iTunes preference "Look for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad Remotes" enabled. " I cannot find this preference anywhere. It's not something I've ever looked for before so possibly the name of it has changed in a recent iTunes release. Can anyone tell me if I'm looking for the right thing and where I might find it?
    Any other ideas?
    Anyone else with a similar problem that has cropped up recently?

    Hi Everyone, I found a solution to this problem with no "Look for iPod..." option.
    Check "Allow iTunes Audio Control from Speakers"
    Then, RESTART iTunes.
    Heres a picture of what to check off:

    Wait for the server to come back.  If the server is down, then there is nothing you can do about it, and you must wait for apple to get the server back up and running.

  • Can no longer connect to hard drive via HH3

    Hi,
    Please can someone help me....the bt customer services have been the least useful people ever and had me pulling my hair out
    I have an external hard drive plugged into my HH3. First plugged it in, in December, set it up, connected to it with all my computers and laptops via (map a network drive). Worked flawlessly until a few weeks ago. Now all of a sudden I cannot connect to it.
    I have tried mapping to it, but it is no longer there. However if i login to the BT Home Hub it is appearing there as a connect device. Have deleted it from here and then plugged it in again. That didn't work..
    Have tried both ip addresses suggested: 192.168.1.254 and .253 but neither worked.
    Have plugged the hard drive directly into my laptop and it is working fine. Something has changed somewhere, after a firmware upgrade on the home hub maybe? 
    Any suggestions?
    Many Thanks.

    Are you trying to power the drive from the hubs USB port, or does it have its own external power supply?

  • Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

    While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
    I have internet access
    The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
    This is not a wireing issue.
    When I try to connect I get this message:
    "The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
    The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
    There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
    I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

    Thanks for your help
    I made no changes to the mini or the server.
    The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
    Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
    I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
    It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks

  • Can no longer connect to Mac index via FTP

    The other computer on my LAN is running Ubuntu Karmic and I can FTP to it no problem. Used to be able to FTP to my Mac no problem until I tried this free firewall software which claimed to have a decent GUI. I made sure to remove the software completely using the TrashMe app when I decided it was useless, but have not been able to reconnect from my Linux machine to Mac via FTP. I can ping the Mac no problem and have also gone through all the basic troubleshooting steps: turned off the firewall and tried - nothing, turned the firewall back on - some story, restart, rebooted router, release/renew IP (not that that would help but what the hey).
    Anyone else experienced similar issues? Any suggestions as to next steps?

    Hi. Try this:
    - Open System Preferences
    - Open Sharing (not sure if is this name)
    - Activate Share Files (or file sharing...)
    - In Options button, you got to check FTP and the users (below) that will be able to access
    Voilá... hope this works for you!

  • Can no longer connect to shared folder via Samba (10.5.8)

    I used to be able to connect to shared folders on my leopard (10.5.8) PPC machine via Samba.
    Now, when I choose "Go to Folder..." from another machine and enter the correct URL (smb://192.168.0.XXX), I get a list of all the volumes and users, including public folders of some users, but the share point (shared folder) I defined does not appear.
    I tried moving that folder around (it was in /Users/Shared/, then I put it at root / ), removing and re-adding, turning file sharing and samba off and on multiple times, and restarting the computer.
    Nada.
    Any ideas?

    It seems I resolved this by changing the name of the folder I wanted to share, and adding that. No idea why it didn't like the previous name, but that seems to have worked around whatever the issue may have been.

  • I can no longer connect to the internet via Airport Extreme.  HELP!

    Over the weekend my Macbook told me that my Airport extreme firmware needed to be updated, so I did that, now I have no internet connection from the Airport. I have no problem connecting to the Airport itself, but I have no actual internet connection. The connection is fine when I plug an ethernet cable directly into the computer.
    I really hope someone can help with this!

    Hi DaveX83 and welcome to the discussions.
    A few things to try.
    Press the reset button once on the back of your Extreme and let it restart. Check for proper operation.
    If no help there, keep the ethernet cable connected, and open Airport Utility. Click on Manual Setup near the bottom of the pane. On the next screen click the Airport icon at the upper left of the pane, then click Wireless in the line just below that reads Summary - Time Capsule - Wireless - Access.
    Check to see that your wireless is set up, security set up, passwords, etc. You may need to reconfigure your wireless settings again and update the Extreme to store them and restart.
    Hope this helps.
