Can't connect to my VPN server from the WAN addres...

I've setup a PPTP VPN server on a Raspberry Pi, so that I can connect to it when out and about and avoid having my android internet use sniffed by random public wi-fi hotspots.
It seems to be working as I setup a Windows 7 connection to it using the LAN address (192.168.1.85) and that connected fine but I can't get it to work through the BT HH3 via the WAN address. I've forwarded port 1723 to 192.168.1.85 and tried disabling the firewall, enabling port clamping and putting the RPi in the DMZ, none of which made any difference.
Is anyone able to help please?

Did some testing from my parents house yesterday and whilst connected to their router (Virgin Media) and/or a local BTWiFi hotspot (I can't honestly remember if I tried both or if I only tested with one or the other), I was able to connect to the VPN Server from my phone.
I can also connect from my home PC using Putty to the VPN Server on SSH (port 22) with that forwarded in the router using the WAN address, so NAT travesal doesn't seem to be an issue.
Yet I still can't connect to the VPN Server from home, whether connected to my HH3 or a local BTWiFI-with-FON hotspot, using the WAN address, only the LAN address, which doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't think it's relevant to this problem but I want to ask a question about the router firewall as the description for Default (which is what I have enabled) says "Allow all outgoing connections and block all unsolicited incoming traffic. Games and application sharing is allowed." but it doesn't appear to block unsolicited incoming traffic as otherwise I don't think I'd have been able to connect to the VPN Server from my parent's house, or on SSH from my PC using the WAN address. So is the description incorrect?

Can't Connect to Yosemite VPN Server from Mavericks Clients

Hi All,
I upgraded my Mac Mini Server to Yosemite and none of the Mavericks Clients I have (a 13 inch MBA and a 2010 MM) can connect. However all other machines running Yosemite can connect without issue, this includes another 2010 MM and an 11 inch MBA and all iOS 8+ devices. I've tried deleting and recreating the VPN configuration in the local machines. Anyone else seeing anything like this issue? The Mountain Lion to Mavericks upgrade had a similar issue but I believe that racoon was just broken in that release.
Thanks

Hi Linc,
One of them I am upgrading, the other is a machine I am waiting on a different application to update first prior to upgrading. I am guess I am just a bit frustrated, after the Mountain Lion to Mavericks update I had to call in 4 times and talk my way to enterprise support to get anyone that would even try to assist with Server/VPN. It was the 3rd call that they actually acknowledged an issue- guess I was just attempting to verify if others were seeing this prior to calling in. I don't think its unreasonable to think a server upgrade could support clients like with an OS that is a year old. Just want to make sure I am not "seeing things" when looking at racoon logs and seeing very familiar error messages.
Thanks

Can't connect to PPTP-VPN server...

When attempting to connect to a DD-WRT PPTP VPN server I kept receiving the general "Can't connect to PPTP-VPN server." message. All of the settings were exactly correct and tested on a Windows laptop. I began writing this because I didn't have any other ideas but half way through it (out of the blue) decided to attempt connecting. It worked!
The only thing I did different was delete the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration contents and reboot.
Let's hope it continues to work. Posting this in case anyone else has the same error as I.

A follow up on the VPN issue: it would only work if my laptop's wireless was tethered off of my Android phone - any other connection would connect to the VPN and get an IP but I couldn't ping anything. Also, after rebooting, I get the exact same damning error message now and any combination of rebooting and removing/renaming (don't ever delete system files!) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/* hasn't fixed the issue.
I very much hope Apple releases an update soon for this - it's a serious inconvenience! It must be a network stack issue too because I've tried many 3rd party applications that barf as well.

Can't connect to a VPN server via Airport Extreme Base Station

My husband is unable to connect to his employer's VPN server through our Airport Extreme when he uses his work PC at home. Strangely, when we had a Dell True Mobile wireless router this was not an issue. He could reach his VPN server via PC, AND our Mac wireless network also worked thru the Dell True Mobile. Is there any way to configure the AEBS to allow VPN connectivity? Do we need to switch to a different brand of wireless router? Please advise.
Mac OS X (10.4.7) Airport admin utilities 4.2

First welcome to the discussions.
To set up the client you'll first have to ask the Network Administrator for the name of the VPN server. The username and other details you will need to log on.
You will also need to find out if the VPN uses PPTP or L2TP over IP Sec. with that information in hand open Internet connect in the Applications folder choose NEW VPN Connection then you click on either PPTP or L2TP whichever the network uses, then click continue in the confiquration pop up menu, Choose Edit confiqurations Then enter the information the Network administrator gave you.
Bear in mind that the OSX client does not work with all VPN's.
You may have to purchase a universal VPN client such as VPN Tracker from Equinux ($90.00).

Can't connect to Easy VPN Server using Windows 7 inbuilt VPN client

Hi Everyone,
I would like your help to resolve a vpn issue I am having with my Windows 7 inbuilt vpn client. I am trying to connect to an Easy vpn server on a Cisco 2951 ISR G2. Well, I can connect using Cisco vpn client v5.07 but I can't connect using Windows 7 inbuilt vpn client. Is there any configuration that I am missing so that I can connect using Windows 7 inbuilt vpn client to connect to the vpn server?
Thank you.

Hi MindaugasKa,
Base on your description, your case must is the NPS client can’t pass the NPS policy.
The NPS client can’t connect the network may have many reason, such as the Network Access Protection Agent service not started successful, the certificate not issued properly,

Hi,
due to the message "X11 window server" I guess that maybe your VC Server a so called "headless server", i.e. some kind of virtual device without a monitor. In this case, you have to set a flag in a configuration file. You will find information on this topic in a SAP Note. Maybe this solves your problem.

Hi LowLuster
Thanks for reply. I am not an expert on these sharing protocols but I think I have turned on SMB sharing but still wont connect. I tried adding netwrik drive by using cntrl K in finder and using smb\\network address but nothing. It is driving me mad!!

I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Connect to MS Sql Server from Java Source

Hi,
Is there any way I could connect to ms sql server from Java source? I know I can call java source from function thats easy but what I really want is capability to connect to non-oracle(MS SQL server) from my java source and then call it from function.
I don't know if JDBC driver for SQL server is even installed/available. Is there a way I could find it out form my IDE? I know sqlJ does compile but I have never used sqlj. help!!!

You'll probably have better luck in a Java forum or a Microsoft forum.

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

Thanks for any help.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I've just done a clean install of OSX Server and added the latest MYSQL packaged installer. Afterwards I found the lock file in /private/tmp/mysql.lock
The easiest way to solve this problem is to create a symbolic link so that the lock file appears to be in right place.
e.g.
cd /var
sudo mkdir mysql <== this assumes the directory is missing
cd mysql
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock mysql.sock
After this msql commands should work fine, and you've not fiddled with the security settings on users/groups.

"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'"

Data Services=3.1
Repository=12.2.2.0000
Red Hat Enterprise 5
Designer,Job Server,Job Engine=12.2.2.3
After an unscheduled server reboot with DS up and running when trying to start a job in either Data Services Management Console or DS Designer getting the following:
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'"
The mysql.sock have never been in /tmp and on the production server it does not exist there and the production server is up and running correctly. If a link is created to mysql.sock(/home/user/boedge31/bobje/mysql) the job will start but return this message:
"Cannot retrieve <Version> from the repository. Additional database information: <SQL submitted to ODBC data source <localrepo> resulted in error <MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver mysqld-5.0.46-enterprise No database selected>. The SQL submitted is <select VERSION, SECURITYKEY, GUID from AL_VERSION where NAME = 'Repository Version'"
I checked and AL_VERSION and the Version field exist.
Before the shut down DS was working correctly and had no issues. My best guess is a part of the repository was corrupted during the unscheduled shut down. It seems like DS has "forgotten" some of the settings.
Any suggestions on a possible solution?

The issue has been solved.
There was a bad path in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Removed the path and DS started working again.

Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Have I just forgotten to set an environment variable? I would prefer

Thanks, Dave A.

A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
that has to be a first.
If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
<hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
export DISPLAY=hostname:0
where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
XServer from the display client.
Apparently, you are not at the console?
Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.

caused by the following code fragment:
Font f = new Font(fontName, fontStyle, fontHeight);
FontMetrics fm = (new Panel()).getFontMetrics(f);
Have I just forgotten to set an environment variable? I would prefer
not to install bulky pieces of software, but if that's what it takes
to get over this error, so be it.
Thanks, Dave A.
