Another vista vpn thread

Hi
Looking at Apples on info ipsec should work on XP and Vista when conecting to Leopard Server. Judging by this forum ipsec and windows is not fully functional.
I'm prepared to buy a proprietary client form windows machines provided that it can work with Leopard Server Vpn using ipsec.
If its true that Leopard Server Vpn does not work well with windows machines because Apple strayed from standards then I'd have to say I'm surprised and disappointed. It makes me wonder if my Xserve was a good buy. Hence I'm assuming i'm wrong here and hoping someone can set me straight.
Thanks

Thanks,
I have seen that earlier and followed its instructions but to no avail.
Windows and vpn simply will not do it for me. Frustrating as ****
But thanks for the tip

  • SAPGUI Disconnects with Vista VPN

    Dear experts,
    I have the following problem, I'm using the saplogon 710 and build 1016365.
    I'm connecting our server using Windows XP with Windows VPN every thing is fine and it rarely (if ever) disconnects.
    However if I use Windows Vista with the same setup. After approximately 30 seconds of inactivity I get the following error.
    Connection to partner broken : 192.168.13.13:sapdp00 broken
    WSAECONNABORTED Software caused connection abort.

    I'm sure the problem is related to Vista VPN, I can connect fine with Windows XP but get the error with Vista using a dual boot computer. And I tried 3 different computers all experience the same problem with Vista
    Please Help.

    Thanks for the "push" in the correct direction..
    in internet I found this link which was a bit confusing to me to be honest but as understand there was a change of functionality in vista from XP I decided the give WinPcap application a try
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowssdk/thread/3afd5789-7d71-427c-8be5-2e7239c70c9e
    After about 10 mins of inactivity testing I confirmed it was working. I'll update if the situation changes but so far it works like a charm.
    Many thanks,

  • Yet another grey folder thread, help!

    Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
    Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
    Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
    So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
    So, dear gurus, my question(s)
    A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
    if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?

    Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

  • Another T60 help thread

    Ok, so I have quite a few issues.
    I have:
    -T60 200749U - Windows 7- 2GB - Dual HDD
    -Advanced Dock 2503 - ATI Radeon HD 5450
    Now lets tend to the most annoying issue I have.
     Ever since I got this thing the headphone jack has not worked properly.
    It didn't work when I ran XP, it worked when I ran Vista but only when the switch in the lower left was to the left., now on 7  Ethernet and Headphone ports don't work.
    Anyhelp with this would make me a happy guy.
    The next thing has to do with my Dock situation.
    I got my Advanced dock and installed a ATI graphics card with it.
    Now I installed the driver for the card and Catalyst control center changed the settings in BIOS.
    All is working fine, I have aero and great picture when plugged into the dock.
    Now my issue is that when I am not on the dock I am stuck with Windows basic (which I hate) because I don't have the drivers for the X1300.
    Before I installed catalyst and the drivers for the dock's card I had aero running just fine.
    I found and tried installing the legacy drivers for the X1300 but that has an old version of Catalyst that doesn't support my Dock's card.
    VGA out on the laptop itself no longer works either.
    I have a desktop gadget that recognizes the GPU but windows doesn't
    I have tried everything I can think of and after 5 system restores and a ton of searching I have had no luck.
    Please help.
    I had another question but forgot it.
    Anyhelp is appreciated and thanks to you all in advance.

  • Can anyone help?? Another new MacPro thread....

    Hi all.
    Another person here having big issues with PP CC 2014 on the new MacPro..
    A little background;
    I've been having issues with PP for years. Previously I was a photographer, and Lightroom was my software of choice. That was a great Adobe experience, pretty faultless software really...
    Then when I moved to video it was a different story... obviously it's a whole different ballgame dealing with video files, I've not had much luck with my editing workflow!
    I was working off an underpowered PC first, then was on a few Macbook Pros. Eventually, I got the go ahead to get a new MacPro from my employer, I thought that would solve all my problems! How wrong I was!
    Even after the apparent "fix" for the GPU issues, I'm still having problems...
    I'm no Adobe basher....No one wants PP to work well more than me (Al Mooney got highly offended on Twitter after I suggested PP might be slightly less than perfect!)
    I'm hoping I might get some tips to improve performance or even a fix for the issues I'm having.
    Here's the gist of my specs, can give more if needed;
    Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
    64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    My main drive is a G RAID 8GB TB2
    So,
    My main issue is that when a sequence gets more complex, the performance dips massively, to the point where it's unusable and crashes constantly.
    The timeline freezes, the playhead is laggy, the system gets really slow to respond in general..... Maybe 15 seconds for the keyboard to respond to keypresses. (or else I need to tap spacebar twice instead of once to get it to respond). If I try to make any change on the timeline that anything more than a simple delete etc, the system can freeze and I need to force quit.
    Another symptom is that when quitting the program, often it doesn't quit properly and I need to force quit.
    The sequences I'm working on don't seem that demanding (especially give the machine I have) so it's really confusing as to what the issue is.
    We're talking videos usually in the 2 -5 minutes range. Maybe 4 video layers. Footage wise; generally 1080p XAVC from a Sony F5, some Canon 4K from a 1DC. Can PP really handle native footage, should I be transcoding??? One of the big benefits of PP is the apparent ability to handle native formats, so it's really disappointing if that's the issue....
    I do use a reasonable amount of plugins, like Izotope for denoising dialogue, the dreaded Red Giant plugins, and occasionally Red Giant Denoiser (is this the root of my problems??!). My current project has two layers keyed interviews (2 angles) and I'm using Ultrakey for that. (I bought Red Giant Primatte Keyer, but my system isn't powerful enough to run it without major issues....ridiculous!!)
    If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I've read other threads but my issue seems different. I can't rule out that I'm making some obvious mistake in my workflow either... so any general workflow best practise tips in that regard would be good too.
    Sorry for the long thread and thanks for reading.

    Hi healyb2,
    Sorry you're experiencing this issue.
    I think I've identified one of the issues, Izotope 4 Dialogue Denoiser.....
    I've disabled it on an existing sequence and the crashes have stopped (for now).
    Let us know if these issues crop up again. You can let us know directly here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
    So, possibly (like Red Giant) Izotope plugins may not work usably in Premiere Pro....... which really grinds my gears......
    Actually, we work hand in hand with plug-ins developers in the realm of compatibility. Some of these plug-ins companies are quite small so you have to pay close attention to precisely what is supported for the host application. In some cases, it takes some time to catch up to the latest versions.
    why are Adobe not calling out the plugins as not usable? What about the plugin manufacturers themselves? I can't see this being a performance issue on my end...frustrating!
    That's actually up to the plug-ins manufacturers. Please communicate with them accordingly regarding compatibility. Sorry for any confusion this may have brought about.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Another SLOW Lightroom Thread

    Just another thread to document the major issues I'm having with Lightroom 4.
    System: Dell Studio XPS running Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel i7-720QM, 8 GB RAM 1333MHz, 500 GB HD, ATI Radeon 4670 1GB with Wacom Intuos 5
    Working in the Develop module has been completely unacceptable and is costing me hours of editing time and frustrating, which means its costing me money.  Everything from navigating between photos to adjusting slider bars seems to be laggy to put it lightly.  After using the Adjustment Brush, making universal changes is taking forever!  And if I got back to create an additional adjustment with the Adjustment Brush tool, it's almost not even worth it because it is so slow to respond.  Similar to the slow downs after using the Adjustment Brush tool, any changes made after making any adjustments in the Lens Correction tab seem to be super sluggish as well.  Oh top of it all, my computer is running extremely hot when running Lightroom, which ever occured in past versions! 
    I've tried several suggestions that I've seen in forums, such as creating a fresh Catalog and importing the files directly into that new Catalog, hiding the Histogram to free up resources, reducing the size of the Catalog to just the working set I'm currently working on... I've now installed the 4.1 RC and do seem to see some increase in response with the sliders within the develop module, but once I start using the Adjustment Brush and Lens Correction, it seems to be back to it's sluggish self.  And after editing a few photos, the entire program is crawling.
    I think it's great that Adobe has such a strong following that people seem to be so understanding and patient about these issues, but find it unacceptable that such an unpolished release was issued to the public.  If the issues are eventually remedied I will be fully on board with Lightroom, once again, because I do think that the revamped develop module has been a major improvement for editing and workflow, but all those improvements are pretty useless when I'm losing so many hours battling with performance issues.

    No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
    Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

  • Yet another x64 xfi thread... finally Beta Driv

    Ok, a mate of mine told me that are some Beta xfi drivers out. A little bit of digging shows that there are indeed some drivers out but they are for Vista ie. http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?Product_ID=4000&Product_Name=X%2D Fi+Fatalty+FPS&OSName=Windows+Vista+64-bit&OS=27&DriverType=0&details=
    If this is true, then maybe xp64 drivers will be out soon. What i cant understand is why release beta drivers for a Beta OS, when there is a commercial OS that needs a decent driver. Is there any news of some beta x64 drivers comingsoon. Reason i am wanting these drivers
    Rant Over
    Just to add there was a thread on Future mark saying taht these drivers work for xp64bit tooMessage Edited by Bo on -3-2005 09:27 AM

    We know....
    Btw, they work on windows 64 , just run the setup let it unpack when it moans about not vista
    dont cancel but copy paste the dir it unpacked , then hit the cancel button because
    the stupid exe deletes the unpacked folder when you cancel. Go to the dir
    it unpacked and hit the setup button in the driver folder.
    Let it install, reboot and then put ur install cd in and run the install
    do not install the drivers from the cd but install any utils you want
    and the system will now have windows 64 drivers and all the utils

    Sort of looks like hardware issues to me.  Do you know that the drive works (i.e. tested in another OS, or it used to work and just stopped?)
    Did you try just mplayer dvd://  ?  That's quite a long options list you've got there.
    What kind of drive is it?

  • Another BORIS MISSING thread.

    Hi,
    I've been looking at several BORIS MISSING threads trying to find a solution, and have not found a good one yet. Here is my problem:
    Originally purchased FCP studio 5.0 in 2005. Noticed Boris was missing (never needed it) about a year ago and never figured out how to get it back (didn't try very hard). Upgraded to 5.1.4 about two weeks ago, and it's still missing. Trashing preferences doesn't help.
    The specifics:
    Boris does not show up under generators in effects tab or in viewer generators popup.
    BorisFX folder is in Application Support as it should be, and all necessary files (as mentioned in other threads) seem to be in place. What's more, if I create another account, BORIS WORKS. But I don't want to login to another account every time I want to use Boris.
    Something I've noticed: I seem to recall that Boris file icons in Application Support>BorisFX were some sort of "Kind: After Effects" Icons prior to my 5.1.4 install (also prior to my recent purchase of Photoshop). Now they are either "Kind: Unix Executable File" or (under BorisFX>Gradient Styles) "Kind: Adobe Photoshop Gradient File". Would this have anything to do with my problem? Anyone have any ideas for me?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    1. Open your system Plugins folder (not your own FCP User Data folder):
    Macintosh Hard Drive/Library/Applications Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
    2. Copy these folders to the desktop:
    Text Scrambler.bundle
    Title 3D.bundle
    Title Crawl.bundle
    Vector Shape.bundle
    3. Change the extensions on all four desktop files from bundle to .plugin
    This requires password authentication. They will become blank icons.
    4. Delete the original .bundle folders from the Plugins folder

  • Another K9A Memory Thread

    Hi everybody!
    Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I was hoping I could just get some quick educated opinions.
    I've found a lot of older threads regarding why 4GB of RAM was unusable in certain setups, specifically mine (MSI K9A Platinum) and figured out that Vista 32x just can't run 4GB.
    I've already bought 2 x 1GB sticks (Patriots) and can get everything going on 3 sticks. I keep hearing that it would be much more efficient (and faster) to buy a single 2GB stick to replace the first two matched pair. Then just throw in one of the excess (1GB) into one of the last ports.
    Is this true? Should I just keep the extra single stick and keep running my old two on dual-channel?
    Thanks to anybody willing to throw in their two cents for someone not very learned in the way of computering.

    Best use 2 matched memory sticks only

  • Another Magnetic Case Thread

    So, I see that several people have asked about the cases with magnets causing problems. The resounding answer seems to be no, so I'm looking for some theories on what might be going on with my touch. I got a leather case that has two magnets on the side to keep it closed, instead of the bottom (as most of the threads seem to deal with). I put my touch in there and a few hours later, it wouldn't come on. I had to reset or whatever they call it when you hold down both the power and home buttons. This happened several times. I charged it, did all the "r"s except a complete restore and it seemed to be ok. That was late at night, so I only tested it for a few minutes, then went to bed. The next morning (this past Tuesday), I was trying to use it and kept having similar problems, only now I would sometimes just get a white screen. I took the case off and left it off. It is now late Wednesday night. I have had my touch out of the case with the magnet for about a day and a half and I haven't had one problem. I didn't do anymore resetting, restoring, etc. It just started functioning normally again. I plan to test the case again tomorrow, but wonder if there are any thoughts on what might have happened. I wondered if maybe the magnet near the WiFi was causing problems in it which was affecting my touch. So, thanks for the input and I'll make a note when I finally get it back in the magnetic case!

    AAPL, I saw your response in another thread speaking of how you showed people at college things that magnets did not mess up, but supposedly were supposed to, such as floppy disks, etc. Based on that, I was hoping that you would catch this thread and offer some insight. I'm afraid that I still believe that the magnets are the trouble makers. I know that on the DLO case, the magnets are at the bottom. My case is not the same. The magnets are on the left side at the top and bottom. In addition to my husband putting the case and having the exact same problem, I tried it again. After seeing your response, I put the case back on. FIVE minutes later, I had the exact same problems. iPod wouldn't come on. When it did, I had a flickering screen, then the Apple. I haven't had any trouble with my touch since I took it out of the case Tuesday morning. Now, on Thursday morning, I tried the case again, and voila! Problems. And as soon as I took it out of the case and restarted it, it began functioning as normal. How do you explain that? (That isn't supposed to sound smart alec, but truly curious!) The rest of the case is just leather. I know that isn't causing problems. To me, it is obviously something about the case, so I think that it must be the magnets. Thanks!

  • Vista VPN Client TrueVector Device Driver Issue

    Hi,
    I have an unresolved issue with the VPN Client v.5.0.01.0600 (Vista) on a Vista Home Premium System.
    The client was successfully installed using admin privileges. But upon rebooting, the following error pops up:
    <snip>
    This driver is blocked due to compatibility issues...
    Driver: TrueVector Device Driver
    Publisher: Zone Labs, Inc.
    </snip>
    This error occurs immediately upon user logon and just pops up every minute or so.
    I haven't seen anything about this problem in the release notes. Does anyone know what could cause it or/and how it can be resolved?
    PS: Some norton security software (don't remember which one) was installed on this system. But I have removed it prior to the cisco vpn client installation.

    On Vista Beta2, the first time logs are enabled, Microsoft firewall would pop-up a dialog box to allow the IPSecLog process. To enable logging, please allow IPSecLog process. Log messages do not show up till the log file is touched.
    In Vista Beta 2, the VPN Client is cannot detect that the VPN Client is already connected after user logs in. The workaround is Launch VPN Client. You will notice that the lock icon appears in taskbar.

  • Yet another iPhone WiFi thread - cannot connect to some OPEN networks

    I make no apologies in starting another thread about iPhone WiFi connectivity. Judging by the number of references to WiFi issues in this forum, as well as on the Internet generally, this is a big issue with many users and yet there seems very little acknowledgement by Apple that there is problem.
    In my case I have a first generation iPhone which works well on most WiFi networks, both open and closed, including my secured network at home, but cannot connect properly with some open networks. I have had this problem while using 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 firmware.
    Sometimes I get the "Cannot Connect ..." message and sometimes I am able to connect and obtain a good signal and see an IP Address and a Subnet mask, but no Router or DNS address.
    I'll repeat that I talking about open networks, so there is no password issue. In one local cafe, I am unable to connect to a network that I used to be able to connect to routinely. I have talked to the owner, who is another Mac and iPhone user and he assures me that he has not changed any router settings.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions beyond the usual re-setting and re-booting options? Is there something about iPhone MAC addresses or the WiFi signal that certain routers don't like?
    Simon

    This is not a solution to your problems but:
    1- Expecting someone from Apple to respond here is a vain hope. This is a discussion forum for users and you can only expect responses from users. Talk to Apple tech support if you want a response from them.
    2- I saw an item on an iPhone blog page somewhere yesterday saying that Apple was now replacing iPhones with this issue if you took it to an Apple store. Don't know if it's true but it also had a workaround that you could use for your own home network if you were having problems—and I am—and that workaround basically worked for me.
    I turned wi-fi off on the phone and opened Airport Utility on my iMac. I turned wi-fi security OFF and then tried to connect. I actually got a connection straight away, and I noted down the IP addresses and subnet mask data from the DHCP screen in the iPhone's wi-fi network info screen. I then restored wi-fi security on my iMac. Of course that restarts the router and I lost my connection and when it started up again, the IP addresses had changed but the subnet mask had not. I swapped to the Static screen instead of the DHCP screen and edited all 3 IP addresses. That got me my connection back and it has continued to work throughout today. That's the best result I've had so far.
    It seems to me that my iPhone has problems picking up the network data from my home network and I don't know why that is. I was at a friend's last night and tried to connect to his system and it connected straight away. I assume there's something about my settings which is problematic but I don't know what it is but at least now I have a workaround.
    It's possible that something similar is going on for you with the public networks you're having problems with but, unfortunately, the workaround I tried won't work for you in a public network so that's probably not much help.
    You could try taking your phone to an Apple Store and seeing if they exchange it. The blog I read suggested the magic words were "hardware problem". In my case I don't think it's a hardware problem but it may be in yours.

  • Yet Another ASA VPN Licensing Question :)

    I have a pretty good understanding of ASA VPN concepts, but not sure about this scenario.  Two questions regarding 5525 VPN SSL Anyconnect Premium Licensing.
    1.  Assuming we already own a ASA 5525-x with 750 Anyconnect Essentials and Mobile ( p/n ASA5525VPN-EM750K9 ) and want the ability for 200 Clientless (Anyconnect Premium) VPN connections, including mobile devices, what part number do I need?  
    2.  Assuming we do not yet own a ASA5525, but want the same 200 clientless VPN connections plus mobile device connectivity, what part number do I need?   I'm assuming this is correct  >>  ASA5525VPN-PM250K9
    Thanks!

    It's no problem - I sometimes look for an answer to a question myself and find my own 2 year old post explaining the answer. As long as I don't find my 2 week old answer, I'm OK with that. :)
    Anyhow, no there's not a SKU to upgrade Essentials to Premium. All the Premium upgrade SKUs are between Premium licensed user tiers (10-25, 25-50, 50-100 etc.).
    If you're a persuasive customer and make a strong case with your reseller they may be able to get a deal with Cisco outside the normal channels to get some relief as a customer satisfaction issue. That's very much a case by case thing though and not the normal fulfillment method.
