VPN server does not work when a second network adapter is enabled

I have an Xserve providing DNS, filesharing, and VPN services on an office LAN. The server sits behind a gateway router and is set as a DMZ host.
VPN has been working absoluely flawlessly on the server for some time. However, I've recently discovered that this all changes when the Xserve's second ethernet adapter is enabled.
To illustrate:
en0: static IP 192.168.2.250
en1: disabled
VPN works perfectly
en0: static IP 192.168.2.250
en1: static IP 192.168.2.251
DNS settings unchanged, DMZ host unchanged
VPN doesn't work
The above is even true when attempting to connect internally.
VPN is configured for L2TP, and when the second NIC is connected the VPN server logs the following (below). There are a number of other users of Lion Server users that seem to be experiencing the same log pattern, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution.
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how I could solve this problem? Is it possible to bind the VPN server to a specified network adapter?
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
(And to preempt the question of "why do you need to use both NICs", the two interfaces are to be used for load balancing. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/17655599?ac_cid=142432)

  • Outgoing server does not work when I email

    I have set up my iPhone tu work with Hotmail and it works with the ingoing server but I can't send mails. When I try to send mails it says: The connection to the outgoing server smtp.live.com failed.
    Can anyone help.
    I am a premium hotmail user.

    The problem is probably the wrong host name. If you have an MSN account the outgoing server may be different than it is for Hotmail. If you log in to your web mail account and go to the Support page you should be able to find instructions to set up POP3 mail. In those instructions should be the host name, port, and any other settings you need.
    Usually you just enter the first part of your email address as the user name, but you should be able to confirm this in the POP3 setup instructions. If the user name alone doesn't work then try the full email address. Also, if you have a login name to MSN that is different from your email address you can try that also.
    Regarding the "<hostname>:25" entry, many people have found that email sends faster if you specify the port number; if you don't, the iPhone tries all possible ports which can take several minutes. This isn't your problem, but it is good practice to specify the port number. In versions before 1.1.1 the only way to do this was to put the port number after the host name, separated by a colon. In 1.1.1 there is a separate field for in in the Advanced settings.
    It would be helpful to know the error message you are getting when you try to send. That will determine whether the iPhone is not finding the server, or is finding it but the send is being rejected by the server.
    Keep at it; there is a way to get it to work.

  • Css3 animation does not work when triggerd by backing bean method

    Hi,
    I use Jdev 11.1.1.4 (but I guess the Jdev/ADF version does not matter in this case) and Firefox 15.0.1.
    I tested some parts of article https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/css_animations_the_panel_flip from Duncan Mills.
    The CSS3 animation for styleClass "rotateOut" works fine when I trigger it from mouse hover.
    The problem is that the animation does not work when I set the styleclass in a backing bean.
    In this case the UI component to rotate (in my case the calender component) changes immediatelly to the transition target without the transition-duration of 2 seconds and therefor there is no animation effect visible for the user.
    Here the backing bean code:
        public void doRotate() {
           afCalender.setStyleClass("rotateOut");
           AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(getAfCalender());
        }Here the skin:
      .rotateOut {
        -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
        -moz-transition-delay: 2s;
        -moz-transform: rotateY(45deg);
        -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
        -moz-transition-duration: 2s;
      .rotateReturn {
        -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
        -moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);
        -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
        -moz-transition-duration: 2s;
      }In Duncan's article java script is used to change the style class.
    Does the CSS3 animation only work when java script is used to change the style class or shoud java in a backing bean also work?
    Any hints?
    regards
    Peter

    I have tested several other settings but no success.
    Any ideas?
    regards

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • Reply to all using ItemReply does not work when specifying messageid

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to use the ItemReply token to perform a "Reply to All"
    action on a mail item with a known message identifier and include the
    original message text in the response. According to the documentation,
    the call should be:
    ItemReply(7;1;"message-id")
    Still, when I execute this token, apparently only a normal reply action
    is performed because only the original sender is listed as recipient.
    (The message text is properly included)
    However, when I manually select the message in the GroupWise client
    first and then execute the same call without specifying the message id,
    all recipients of the original mail are listed in "To:" as expected:
    ItemReply(7;1)
    Could it be that the "ReplyTo" parameter is ignored or does not work
    when a message id is specified as parameter? (Setting "IncludeText" to 0
    does not change anything)
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Peter Hofer

    Worth bumping this message. I find the exact same behaviour as mentioned 5 years ago. Using both GW8 and GW2012.
    According documentation, when MessageId is not specified it defaults to the command ItemReplyOpenItem(). I assume that the reason "Reply To all" works without a MessageID is because of that. Someone needs to give a look to ItemReply().

  • Server does not work in yosemite

    Help!  My OS X Server does not work after upgrade to Yosemite!  Disaster!!!

    After the disappointment that I cant manage the servers running the previous versions of OSX server from my upgraded desktop. I upgraded my office server to 10.10 Yosemite with OSX Server 4.0 I am still not able to connect.
    I can remote desktop into the server without a problem (both are on the same LAN with the server on .local). But the Server app is not able to connect.
    Actions taken so far:
    Update software on desktop to 10.10 and Server 4.0
    Update software on server to 10.10 and Server 4.0
    Verified connection by pinging IP and .local
    Verified to connect to the drive and screen sharing via local network
    Rebooted router + switch
    Rebooted desktop + server
    If you manage OSX servers for clients, keep a system on 10.9 around so you can still keep your business running.
    Upgrading the server needs to be done on site with display, keyboard and mouse connected.
    Apple please fix a.s.a.p.

  • Dbx does not work when debugging g++ exes.

    Hi,
    We are just getting started building our application on redhat el5 with sunstudio 12.
    We are compiling and linking our app with gcc 4.1 as we need to be able to link against some 3rd party libraries build on rhel4 that we do not have source for.
    We now can compile and link fine but dbx does not work when it is fed the executable.
    We get the error
    dbx: warning: Bad transition in runtime linker interface. CONSISTENT->CONSISTENT[
    and dbx freezes.
    Note : This is built with -m32 on a 64bit kernel. Also we have not yet rebuilt all the opensource libs used on gcc 4.1 as we have a large number of them.

    Well, this message is just a warning and should not prevent dbx from working. What exactly happens to dbx? Does it hang? Does it crash? Or it doesn't allow to run the app?
    A side note: this message says that runtime linker debugging interface reported "consistent" event w/o any "add" or "delete" events, which is at least redundant and may indicate a bug. It is possible though that the bug is in dbx as well as in ld-linux.so, but its impossible to tell without live test case.
