Browsing files with a VPN connection to a Win 2003 Server

Hello,
I am getting connected to the VPN according to the VPN option in the settings icon in my Ipad.
Now, anyone knows how could a I get access to the files in the server with my IPAD, like I have with the mac finder or win explorer in a MAC or PC
thanks for the help

I have tried it with no success. I am able to connect to other machines when in the same network! Like home wifi but as soon as i get connected to the office VPN, is not working.
Maybe it's me. Usually for example with my pc i get into de VPN! Then open the win explorer, type the server ip address just like 10.0.0.1, and that's It.
Is there anything am i doing wrong or should be done differently with an Apple? I am new with Apple.

  • Gigabith connections tiger vs win 2003 server

    In my gigabith (certifyd category 6) network I have numerous problems to transfer files from Mac with Tiger 10.4.4 to win 2003 server. After to me it are connected the copy of files leaves correctly, with good speed (40-50MB/sec), but when little lack MB (1/10MB) the connection is slowed down (10-300Kb/sec), and often it is closed with ERROR -36. I have the same problem with 8 G5 and whith SMB or AFP.
    Any assistance you could lend would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    we are having the same exact problems. Our Macs are bound to Active Directory and connected via Gigabit. This is happening on machines with 10.3.x - 10.4.5. We authenticate fine, connect to servers fine and transfer speeds are great up until the last bit of the file. It hangs for a few minutes and either makes it or we get disconnected with a -36 error. In Console I keep seeing this:
    Feb 20 12:02:47 username kernel[0]: smbiodrecvall: drop resp: mid 14758, cmd 5
    Feb 20 12:02:47 username kernel[0]: smbiodrecvall: drop resp: mid 14766, cmd 5
    Feb 20 12:02:47 username kernel[0]: smbiodrecvall: drop resp: mid 14774, cmd 5
    This one is hard for us to pin down because we just moved facilities so we have new HP gigabit switches, cabling and our domain controllers were updated to Windows 2003.

  • How to access VPN Connection properties in Win 8.1

    Win 8.1 pro 64 bit
    I setup a VPN connection to my company host server. When I try to connect, I get no EAP protocol installed on the Win 8.1 system. I googled and it said to open VPN properties (like I have done before); however, I cannot find the open VPN properties function.
    I right click on the VPN and it does nothing. It did work in win8. How do I get to VPN properties to add EAP to the VPN connection?
    THX
    John Lenz

    To access to your VPN properties you should navigate to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections. From there, you will see all of your network connections, including any existing VPN connections. If you right click on the VPN connection
    in question, you will see "properties" listed at the bottom of the list and EAP settings can be modified under the security tab.  Let me know if you have trouble.   

  • Internet stops with PPTP VPN connections to ASUS RT-N66U VPN Router

    I have a client with a small office network that has a few people working remotely from Windows 7 and 8 PCs. As an inexpensive solution the client opted to use a VPN router (ASUS RT-N66U) that supports PPTP so remote users could access the shared
    files and SQL DB server. 
    The VPN connectivity for one client was working fine and then stopped working altogether so when the VPN connection is established all Internet and VPN access is stopped. This was especially troubling for me since I work remotely and cannot test or debug after
    the VPN session has been connected. I checked the error logs and found nothing. Also there had been no new programs installed. And finally, I ran a full system antivirus scan with no issues found.
    In case you are facing a similar issue, before trying something remotely that may not work, use the shutdown with reboot command in a COMMAND window and set a timer for something like 3 minutes to reboot in case you get stuck. (e.g. shutdown -r -t 180). 
    Problem: The two symptoms of the VPN connection failure are:
    1) All Internet browsing stops working locally 
    2) No data can pass through the VPN tunnel
    I created a virtual machine on my local network and replicated the client's environment. I experimented with nearly every setting in the VPN dialogue until and came to the final solution. 
    Solution: For the VPN adapter on the remote machines I configured DNS settings and used the remote as the default gateway.
    * VPN adapter Networking IPV4 Properties for:
    - DNS server 1: Main Office VPN Router IP Address
    - DNS server 2: A public DNS server (Google is 8.8.8.8)
    - I also checked the box to "register this connection addresses in DNS"
    Note: Perhaps the local router would also have worked and DNS2 but I didn't test it.
    I have documented this because after reading and searching among many Technical articles and the Microsoft support website, I was unable to find the solution that I came up with so I hope to help someone else. 
    Question1: - Can anyone tell me why the connectivity only works when 'use default gateway on remote network' is checked?
    - I have disabled this option with some business class VPN routers and the connectivity still worked to the remote network but it does not work to the Asus router.
    Question2: From the information provided can I determine where the problem lies?
    Is it the:
    1) Remote client PC
    2) Remote client router
    3) Home office VPN router (Asus RT-N66U)
    If the true culprit cannot be determined yet, what steps do you recommend so I can isolate the true cause of the failure.
    I appreciate any help so that I can be sure my solution is valid and pass along the findings to ASUS if it is their issue.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have successfully connected through the VPN router when the one client was unable to get VPN throughput working.
    I looked at the routing tables with and without the VPN connection established. The differences are that:
    1) when VPN is NOT active, there is a route from the local NIC IP to the Internet IP address of the local gateway
    destination 68.109.82.xx
    mask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    interface 192.168.0.11
    metric 21
    2) when VPN IS active, the route to the Internet IP address of the local gateway is deleted and a persistent route to the VPN router local network has been added
    Persistent route:
    destination 192.168.21.0
    mask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    interface 192.168.0.11
    metric 1

  • VPN Connectivity from Mac to Windows Server

    I have been using Windows OS all my life, now I recently bought a new Mac machine, and it my first time using Mac OSX Lepord, so I don't no much, I tried to connect my Mac to a VPN - windows using the mac VPN Connectivity provided which uses tunneling Protocol, I am successful in establishing connectivity to windows server, but the problem is, it still uses ip address assigned by the router while rowsing, and not the ip address of the VPN machine while browsing sites, the reason I use VPN connectivity is to bypass ISP who blocks most of the useful sites. I tried to set proxy setting in my safari browser, but failed and also automatic proxy does not work, can someone hep me and tell me how to achieve what I am trying to achieve using MAc.

    exero –
    Though this will be a pain it will help trace down the problem.
    Since you are attempting to VPN to the SBS what happens if you connect the Mac locally dose RDP connection map the drives and can you map to the SBS shares directly?
    What happens if you try connecting with a PC via the VPN?
    Also (though risky) I would open all the ports on your firewall that point to the SBS and try connecting to the VPN again with Mac and see what happens. (Don’t forget to close them back).
    Below are two links that may provide some additional information. The first is from Microsoft and list all of the ports used by MS products. The second one is a public post that focuses on SBS 2003.

  • Why does my L2TP VPN connection never really contact the server?

    To be clear, this configuration is not on my own Mac, but on one belonging to someone I serve with technical support.
    I am configuring an L2TP over IPSec VPN connection on a MacBook Pro. This connection is to a ZyXEL USG 300 and works successfully from my iPad. (I do not have my own OS X device from which I can test the connection.)
    To the best of my knowledge, I have entered all of the information that is needed for the connection. Yet when I try to connect, all I receive is an indication that the server did not respond. In the USG logs, there is no indication at all of there being even a connection attempt. In a Terminal session on the Mac (verbose logging is enabled), I read:
    L2TP connecting to server 'xx.xx.xxx.xx' (xx.xx.xxx.xx)...
    IPSec connection started
    IPSec connection failed
    It appears to me as if the connection never leaves the Mac and is prevented or stopped by some fault in the system. The firewall is turned off.
    What suggestions do you have for identifying the problem?

    That's weird but you should be able to manually install the update like this:
    #Download a fresh copy from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ here] - direct link (https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-28.0-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-US)
    #Install the new version. For details, see [[How to download and install Firefox on Mac]]
    Usually this fixes this issue with automatic updates. There will be new version available starting next Tuesday. The automatic update will happen sometime over the following week or so.
    Let me know how it goes.<br>
    Thanks,<br>

  • Connecting to a Windows 2003-Server with a MacBook

    Hi guys!
    I'm planning on buying a MacBook anytime soon. The main purpose of this investment is work at school. Therefore I have to ensure that everything works perfectly, otherwise I would have to buy a Windows notebook (in fact not the kind of decision I wanna make).
    We have a Windows 2003-Server and every other pupil can easily connect to this server with a Windows XP machine wirelessly. They can use printers, surf the Internet and use all the network harddrives (like F: for everyone; P: for projects were only certain groups have access to certain folders; and Z: your home-directory where only the very user has access).
    I need to make sure 2 things:
    a) When I connect to the network via Airport, does the system ask me for my account, so I can have (or have not) access to files I am entitled to?
    b) Does everything work fine under normal condition?
    I am aware that something could happen nobody could have forseen, but as the MacBook is a bigger investment than a € 700 windows crapbook, I would like to make sure that everything should work seemlessly.

    Thanks Jay, It now auto log's in but it's still not acting like a networked drive - when saving an attachment etc I still can't save direct to the server as it doesn't appear in the listing.. I need to save to desktop or doc's then manually drag it into the server... this is a pain...
    Any further ideas.

  • How to connect win 2003 server with Mac OS 10.4.6

    i try all the things i but it can't be done I follows these Steps:-
    Directory Access
    click on Active Directory then Configure
    then Active Directory Domain & Computer ID
    then Bind

    In the Domain Controller Security Policy on my active directory domain, I opened Local Policies -> Security Options and changed "Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees)" to Enabled, and I changed "Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (if client agrees)" to Enabled. I then did GPUPDATE from a cmd prompt on the domain controller and I was able to bind with my 10.4.7 PowerBook.
    But now that I am bound I still cannot authenticate with domain credentials. Yes, in SMB/CIFS I have set the workgroup to be the netbios name of my domain. And the clock is synced with the domain controllers. I have even edited my smb.conf file with the "realm = MY.DOMAIN" and "security = ADS" and "spnego = yes" lines (where, of course, "MY.DOMAIN" = my domain name). But when I get to the login screen and type in my AD username and password, I get the shaking screen. It's like it isn't even trying to authenticate me with the domain.
    So if anyone else was in that situation and figured it out, please let me know. I am also going to post this as a new topic.
    FYI, I think the recommendation to solve this issue by using dcpromo to demote a domain controller is terrifying, excessive, and erroneous... and seeing it with a yellow "Helpful" star next to it is pretty scary. I think the person who made that suggestion would have been successful wtih the registry changes if the "Domain Controller Security Policy" had been edited, instead of the "Domain Security Policy."

  • I need help with Tiger 10.4.11 saving / deleting files on a Win 2003 Server

    Some of my Mac users are experiencing extremely slow file saves to my Windows Server 2003 server. It is not specific to file types. Illustrator, Quark all take forever and the file size is not the issue either. They are also having to force quit Finder after attempting to delete files from the Server.
    I have found that if they boot into Safe Boot they can delete the files without a problem. As soon as I do a normal login the problem returns.
    The problem seems to be specific to the machine. If user A logs on to her Mac she has problems deleting files from the server. If she logs into a Mac that isn't having problems (using her login) she doesn't have problems. If User B who has no problems on her Mac logs into User A's Mac then User B will have the same problems.
    In order to rebind the Mac to the Active Directory I had to remove the Mac from AD. So I don't think it's the Computer's SID. I even tried unbinding the Mac, changing it's name and then Binding it to AD. Same problems.
    I thought it was the Mac and just wasted a day wiping the Mac and reinstalling everything on it, but when I went to delete a file from the Server, finder locked up and I had to force quit finder.
    I even changed the IP Address of one of the Macs having problems, but that didn't work either.
    I've done a Permission repair as well with no change.
    Anyone help?

    OK, there was a System Events in the System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items, but after removing it and restarting I still had to force quit finder after attempting to delete some files off of the server.
    I do not have (or can't find) the /private/var/run/startupitems.
    The Library/StartupItems has 2 entries: AdobeVersionQueCS2 and IntegoCommon, both of which I removed the other day and tried to delete files after rebooting with the usual (not good) result.
    In the System/Library/StartupItems there are 16 items. I will list them as I am not sure what shouldn't be there. I believe that they should all be from Apple though:
    Apache
    AppleShare
    AuthServer
    CrashReporter
    Disks
    FibreChannel
    IFCStart
    IPServices
    Metadata
    NetworkTime
    NFS
    NIS

  • Problem with X11: Xlib: connection to ".0" refused by server

    Hi all,
    I've problem with X11 on os x 10.6.2.
    Every time I move my macbook pro from office to home (and viceversa)
    X11 needs to be quit and restarted otherwise I get the following
    error:
    Xlib: connection to ".0" refused by server
    and X11 won't launch windows. Now this error is certainly linked
    to the fact that the computer changes IP address.
    What's the best way to solve the problem ?

    Yes this look like a bug as old as 10.4 .
    Keep in mind that X11 wasn't made for mobile users .
    What's the best way to solve the problem ?
    below you find the first lines of my .xinitrc
    I havn't been able to find a definite fix to this problem.
    Nonetheless I have a workaround which avoid me to have
    to restart my X11 twice a day. I'm a mobile user, I use
    many different network locations, and I use X11 full time too.
    I created an isolated location named "- isolated" so as to
    keep it on top of my Location menu. This location is simply
    built by removing all the services "Ethernet", "AirPort"…
    Then, when I leave my home, I always switch to my "- isolated" Location.
    When I arrive at my office or within a meeting, I switch to the correct
    Location.
    I can proceed with my work in progress within X11 applications.
    And I can open new X11 applications without any trouble.
    When I leave my office I also swith to my "- isolated" location.
    If you find any better workaround, please post it.

  • Phones cannot connect with mailboxes homed on a remote Exchange 2003 server.

    Lost our frontend server and setup new services on an existing Exchange 2003 server.
    The now current Frontend server is one of 3 Exchange 2003 servers.
    The Frontend server and one more Exchange server are on the same subnet and the 3<sup>rd</sup> is at a remote location.
    It is this remotely located Exchange server that users with phone cannot access their mailboxes homed on that server.
    This is what is working now.       
    All remoter Outlook clients can connect via rpc over http to all Exchange 2003 servers
    Phones can only connect to mailboxes homed on the Exchanged server located on the same subnet as the Frontend server.
    Can you offer any direction?
    As a business decision, we are gearing up to put new Exchange 2013 servers into a new forest and migrate the users.
    we are now looking at rehome affected users' mailboxes to the exchange server that is accepting the phone connections.
    Thank you,

    Hi Stephen,
    In your case, I recommend you move the problematic mailboxes to the Exchange server that is accepting the phone connections for troubleshooting.

  • Oracle 10g Universe Connectivity From 64bit Windows 2003 Server

    Hi,
    Have an existing BO XI 3.1 environment built on a 64 bit Windows 2003 server and
    I'm having problems getting it to communicate with Oracle 10g universes.  Works fine
    with its SQL Server 2005 repository and SQL Server 2005 relational/olap universes, but
    cant seem to get it to work with Oracle.
    Universes work fine on the 32 bit development environment talking to the same Oracle
    database, but when move them to 64 bit testing environment they all fail with
    Oracle ora-12154 errors.
    32 bit Oracle client is installed and can communicate fine with other products using ODBC
    connections from the server - but BO refuses to communicate.
    Any ideas other than reinstalling BO under 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files (x86)'
    as I've seen some references on the web about this possibly being a problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Oracle 32 bit and 64 bit connectivity work fine from the server.  The problem seems to
    relate to bug 3807408 in Oracle 10g that cant handle parentheses in directory names.
    So BO being installed in u2018C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objectsu2019 causes it to get
    rather annoyed.
    SAP Note 1202730 does cover this, but our DBA's aren't too keen on installing the
    suggested patch.  I'm also not very keen on reinstalling BO in a different directory as
    we've got working production sites that would have to be rebuilt.
    So now investigating whether using the Oracle 11g client will resolve this.
    MSDN forum topic http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/ab662d63-6385-4f73-b27f-d526048f601f/  gives a pretty good overview of what people have been trying to resolve this.

  • Large file/name transfers between macs & win 2003 server

    When trying to move a file between a mac power g4 running os x 10.4.6 and windows server 2003, if the file name is greater than 31 characters an error msg is generated:
    "The file name is too long or contains characters that cannot be displayed."
    The copying process stops.
    Is there a process/change allowing copy/transfer of files with names longer than 31 characters?

    Hi Chris!
    "File Services for Macintosh" on Windows Server has not been updated in years. It's still using the old AFP 2.2 protocol, which has the limit of 31 characters. Mac OS X 10.4 is using AFP 3.2, I believe.
    I have little hope that Microsoft will ever upgrade these services since they haven't done so in the past six or seven years since Mac OS X has been around. You'll either need to use a better AFP server such as Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP or use SMB to connect to the server's file services for Windows. I suggest you not use Apple's built-in SMB client but instead use either Dave or ADmitMac from Thursby.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Is there anyway to take a windows 7 computer that the user is completely setup and configured and connect to a windows 2003 server

    I have spent hours setting up a windows 7 computer with programs cad files and other software and I would like to log in to a windows 2003 server
    without having to start over. Is there anyway to do that without losing anything?
    Scott

    Hello, I can't believe your the only one that answered my question.
    What I have is 7 pc's that I bought in 2007 they are "HP M9077C" I am trying to
    upgrade all of them the same way. I upgraded the memory to 8gb, replaced the
    video cards to nvidia quadro k600 and installed windows 7 ultimate on all of them.
    I then took just 1 of the computers and installed all of the software and changed the
    settings to my preference which took hours to do. After I had the 1 computer
    configured exactly the way that I wanted it I made a mirror image backup of it.
    I then took that backup and restored it on the rest of the 6 computers that I have.
    Now here comes the problem I need to be able to hook up the computers to my
    windows 2003 small business server. When my IT guy did that he said that he had
    to create a different user to connect to the file server when he did that my desktop
    was empty and all of the settings are on the original user. Is there anyway to keep
    the settings from the original user and connect to the file server so I don't have to
    spend hours on each one of the computers. If there is a way to copy the original
    user's settings that would be great. I also need to change the user name on each
    computer. Please let me know.
    Thanks Scott

    I copied over 12TB in 24 hours using the method below. A lot of this depends on your infrastructure. The scripts I used are unmodified for your case. I suggest you give them a look and understand the process and change it to fit your needs.
    There are 2 parts. The first is a Main script that schedules PowerShell jobs that actually do the work. The main script will read a file called JobCount every loop to see how many jobs it can run at one time, the reason I did this was to change the number
    of jobs depending on Day (production) times and Night times. Also, the Main loop reads a nomig file that tells the script, don't move these folders because they were our test cases, you can even do test cases during the migration since you can modify the file
    while the script is running. The example was use to move thousands of home folders. Using Robocopy if you tell a single command to do everything, it will take hours to start, just looking around. If you do one root folder at a time, it will run much faster
    which is the reason I created this. If you have a small number root folders, you may want to point it at folders where you do have a lot of subs, remember you can have more than one main process running in different runspaces.
    Main Script 
    VVVVVVVVVV
