Change VPN Connection Type

Hi,
I chose the wrong connection type when setting up VPN. I selected PPTP instead of IPSEC. How do I change it?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. When I do that and then add a new one it just adds another configuraion but still using PPTP.
Even in Internet Connect it has VPN(PPTP) as the name of the tab beside Airport and Bluetooth tabs.
How do I start from scratch? i.e. make it give me the choice of IPSEC or PPTP like when I launched VPN first?

L2L VPN connection-type with multiple peers in both sides

Hi tech guys. We have a problem with the connection-type (aka vpn initiator) due to we have two peers (two isp) in both sides of the vpn tunnel...
We need to find a way to can get a one-way initiator vpn. That's easy with only one side with dual isp, dual isp side is answer-only and the single isp side is originate-only, but it become a problem when the single isp side upgrades to dual isp.
It's possible to add a second crypto map setting for the same traffic, the same encryption, but different policy and peer and also as ANSWER-ONLY?
eg.
Cryto map for the first peer...
crypto map outside_map 20 match address outside_20_cryptomap (Same traffic)
crypto map outside_map 20 set connection-type answer-only
crypto map outside_map 20 set peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Primary ISP for the remote side)
crypto map outside_map 20 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA
Cryto map for the second peer...
crypto map outside_map 25 match address outside_20_cryptomap (Same traffic)
crypto map outside_map 25 set connection-type answer-only
crypto map outside_map 25 set peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Second ISP for the remote side)
crypto map outside_map 25 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA
Please help to see if it is possible, thanks.

Crypto map with different Ids is the way to create multiple crypto maps. This is a working configuration

Can't Change Internet Connection Type

Friend of mine's WRT54Gv6 stopped working, so I temporarily installed a BEFW11S4 and brought the other router home to check out. Installed the latest Linksys firmware, but now when I go to the Setup page, I can't select any Internet connection type except Auto DHCP. All the usual choices appear in the dropdown list, but whatever one I select, when the list closes up, Auto DHCP appears in the type box. Is this router toast?

>> Did you ever find a solution to this? <<
Nope. Last thing I might try is to load different firmware on it (probably DD-WRT). If that doesn't work, I have to figure the router is toast.

Change Connection TYPE in XI (NOT using CR Viewer)

Post Author: bowlegtroy
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi,
I'm using CR XI in a VB6 application to run .rpt files (they are also developed in XI) programmatically. All of these reports are currently created using the Native Oracle Connection (HOW: Open Crystal XI, New Report, Create new connection, Oracle Server, enter data in Service name as found in TNS Names, uID, PWD).
At runtime, I'm changing the name of the server, UID and Pwd. All of this works fine.
However, in order to make my program more flexible, I need to change the connection to be OLEDB instead of the native Oracle connection.
So, my question is:
"How do I change the connection TYPE at runtime to be OLEDB?"
Or, if that cannot be done, then:
"How do I READ the connection type, and take the appropriate action?"
I have tried following the help files examples (for Crystal 9, clears throat loudly) that you find in the documentation online at BusinessObjects.com, but have not been successful to date. Docs tried:

http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communitycs/TechnicalPapers/logon_ocx.pdf
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communitycs/TechnicalPapers/cr_xi_connectivity_migration.pdf
Here is my existing VB6 code to connect and change the connections for each table. Can someone help me change this to an OLEDB connection at RUNTIME?

The router is only able to show the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz device statuses if they happen to be connected to the Greenwave or ActionTec router. Anything that is not directly associated with the Wi-Fi radio on the FiOS router will generally show up as a wired device, just because the router doesn't know if it sits behind a switch, behind a wireless bridge, or if it's actually a wireless device. All it knows is that the device ARPs and asked for an IP through DHCP.
For monitoring what devices are on what radio for the Apple AirPort, try Apple's AirPort Utility for OS X and Windows. The Network Map should allow you to select devices and view informtion on each device.

VPN Connection Seen As Public Network In Windows 8.1 & No Way To Change It?

Hello,
I have a perfectly working VPN setup in Windows 7 however since I have got a Windows 8 computer and subsequently upgraded it to 8.1 when I connect to the VPN it assigns the connection as Public and I cannot view any of the network shares.
As I understand it, in Windows 8 you could go into the network section of Change PC Settings, right click over the VPN and enable sharing which would convert the public network type to private however there is no longer this option to enable sharing in 8.1
So I'm left with having to disable the public firewall and then connect to the VPN where it works perfectly but is a bit of a pain.
I'm hoping someone can help me to change the network type of the VPN connection from Public to Private, unfortunately the laptop runs Windows 8.1 Home Premium so I do not have access to gpedit.msc
Hope someone can help.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Based on my knowledge, we can use the following method to change the network type of connection from Public to Private.
Set Network to be Private in Windows 8 and 8.1 in Registry
1.Press Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and press Enter.
2.In Registry Editor, navigate to the location below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
3.Expand Profiles, click on each long GUID number subkey, and look at its PofileName string value in the right pane to see if it has the current network name (ex: Network) until found.
4.When you find the correct PofileName for your network name, double click/tap on the Category DWORD value in the same right pane to modify it.
5.Type in a new Data value number for the network location you want, and click/tap on OK.
Network location      Data value
Public                                0
Private                            1
Domain                            2
6.When finished, please reboot your computer.
Hope this helps.

VPN Connection assistant (VPNUK via OpenVPN) cannot change network connection

I have an issue with using my VPN assistant via VPNUK.net.
The connection assistant will update the VPN connection with a new server IP and connection configuration based on what you select in the application.
There is no error specifically about the settings, but when trying to establish a connection im told that the connection failed. I then manually check the VPN in network connections and the new settings are not applied.
I suspect that the application does not have access to change the network settings, even if i run as administrator.
Are there any other privileges i need to set? Only a problem in windows 10.
Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
My name is Adam and I am with the Windows Beta Networking support team. I would recommend running procmon (click
here
for download link) when reproducing the behavior. You can then filter on the VPNUK process and scan for any status results such as Access Denied.
Do you get any error messages or warnings logged in event viewer at all?
Have you also engaged with VPNUK to see if they have seen issues with their client when installed on Windows 10 Preview?

Need to change reconfigure vpn connection due to new ip address

My current situation is that i have 8 ASA site to stie vpn connected together. My company is changing isp providers and we wont' be using the same ip address anymore on two of the sites. I know i have to change the outside ip address on the ASA for the two sites but how do i configure the vpn with the new ip address? Do i need to configure ASA again from scratch and use the vpn wizard to connect all my sites? And if do have to configure from scratch how do i remove the old tunnel and ip address from the other ASA?

To remove the configuration for an exisitng tunnel fro mCLI :
clear configure tunnel-group
clear configure crypto map
clear configure access-list
Yes, you have to configure ASA for new tunnels from scratch.

How do I change the http connection type from close to keep-alive

I am using a browser that appears as though it needs a connection type of keep-alive. When a page is requested the server sends back a connection type of close. It appears images are not requested from the server when this connection type is requested.

Some older web server provides inaccurate content-length information.If the content length value is less than the amount of data,the web server treats the difference as a new request, this creates problem with iplanet Web Server.
If you are using browser with HTTP1.1 enabled, choose the option to enable it manually and try once again by posting the request.
Hope it helps.

Slow transfer speed over VPN connection

Hello,
Recently I setup an SSL VPN to connect to my parent's home network. I have some computers there, and want to try to transfer files between my computer and the one at my parent's. Over the VPN connection, I only get 128kb/s. On both ends, they are 15Mbps connections, and can support internal copies of 4 megs/s. I feel like I should get a better speed than that. I looked around, and people suggested changing the MTU. I have changed the MTU around, and not noticed any increase in the network speed over the VPN. Currently the MTU is at 1500. Below is a copy of my running config. Any thing I'm overlooking, or is this speed normal? Sorry, still relatively new to the ASA 5505.

Hi,
Another option is the use of the compression command, this is usually enabled by default but maybe you can enter it due to is not showed in the running config, the command is compression svc.
Note: The command helps when we have low bandwitdh connections, the command reduces the size if the packets, for broadband connections this can decrease regular performance

Unable to access local resources or RDP over VPN Connection

Dear Tech People.
I have a Windows 7 computer that I have created a VPN service through Windows on. I am able to connect to the VPN from outside of my network with my Macbook Air. However, I am unable to connect to the computer via RDP, nor can I ping my PC that
I am VPN'd into (192.168.1.252). When I am connected, the IP address that I am assigned, is 192.168.1.150. When I run ipconfig /all, I can see the "RAS < Dial In> Interface for VPN, and it is setup with an ip address of 192.168.1.151
with a /32 subnet mask. There is no default gateway listed, which is why I believe that this is not working. I cannot determine any way to make this change.
Basically, I have a VPN connection that I can do nothing with. I cannot access shared resources, nor can I start a remote desktop session. The pass through is setup for PPTP with my router, which I believe is working, as I couldn't even connect
prior to this. Below is the full results of my ipconfig /all command on my Windows PC:

Client is Macbook Pro running SL 10.6.4
VPN gateway is Cisco
Users are authenticated using username, password and a digital certificate. The certificate, both root and user, is created on a Windows server (using Microsoft Certificate Services). Root and user certificate is imported into the keychain on the Macbook. But when I try to select, in System Preferences, I am not able to choose my own user certificate. It looks like it only support Machine Authentication (and needs a Machine Certificate ??).
Has anybody ever created a VPN setup on a Mac, towards a Cisco VPN gateway, using username+password and certificate ? Where must I store the certificate to make OSX us it when defining a Cisco VPN connection ?

Same thing here. This seems like a huge-gaping-hole type bug but I can't find anything about it doing any kind of searching
I've managed to get the machine certificate to "stick" by the following:
1. Select Shared Secret and enter some random text.
2. Click OK and click Apply.
3. Now go to the auth settings again and set the machine cert.
4. Click OK and Apply.
Setting should stick now.
No luck with the User certificate though
I've been able to track down the preference change to this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
In this file, supposing you use password authentication, there are entries as such:
<key>AuthPassword</key>
<string>6247164D-49F3-49A2-A933-0D95B5400A33</string>
<key>AuthPasswordEncryption</key>
<string>Keychain</string>
Now if you use a certificate, there is only the following:
<key>AuthProtocol</key>
<array>
<string>EAP</string>
</array>
As you can see from here, nothing gets saved about the user certificate... grr!
Is there anyone who successfully used the OS X VPN this way?
Thanks

Changing VPN from WatchGuard to Juniper this weekend -- looking for potential gotchas...

This weekend we're replacing our WatchGuard firewall with a Juniper SRX firewall.
Our Azure VPN terminates on this WatchGuard. By the end of the night we hope to have it up and running off of the new Juniper SRX firewall.
We have a team of network consultants on hand who are all pretty savvy with Juniper configurations. But this team doesn’t have much knowledge on Azure VPN connections.
The Microsoft Azure site provides us with a script to use with Juniper firewalls, which is nice. And we're basing our initial work off the VPN device script.
Looking to get some ideas from some of you in the field for potential gotchas that may come about as a result of making this change.

Hi,
Watchguard is a supported VPN for Azure VPN connections. In addition, if your VPN device's IP address is changed, you need to change the VPN device's IP address on the Local network page.
In addition, Watchguard is only compatible for static routing gateway. Please check your exsiting gateway type and if it is a dynamic one, please delete it and create a static one instead:
Change a Virtual Network Gateway Routing Type
Then, you can follow the steps when you created the site-to-site VPN connections using Juniper SRX.
Best regards,
Susie

3 WRV200 routers to create a 3 node WAN using VPN connections

I have looked through some of the other posts to see if this question had been asked before, and I didnt see anything.
I have 3 WRV200 that I want to install in 3 cities.
I want each router to have its own Internet connection from the local ISP.
I then want each router to connect to the other 2 routers and create a 3 node WAN using VPN connections.
This is what I think I need. I am hoping somone will correct me.
WRV200-CA
192.168.1.0 - CA Local LAN
192.168.1.1 Default Gateway
255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask
192.168.1.10 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.1.11 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.1.12 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.1.13 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.1.101 - 120 DHCP addresses for workstations
WRV200-NYC
192.168.2.0 - NYC Local LAN
192.168.2.1 Default Gateway
255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask
192.168.2.10 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.2.11 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.2.12 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.2.13 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.2.101 - 120 DHCP addresses for workstations
WRV200-LI
192.168.3.0 - LI Local LAN
192.168.3.1 Default Gateway
255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask
192.168.3.10 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.3.11 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.3.12 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.3.13 Static Assigned for Printer
192.168.3.101 - 120 DHCP addresses for workstations
I know how to get the public IP address that is assigned to the broadband modem by each of the ISPs.
Do I have to connect to each of the other public IP addresses to create this 3 location WAN?
I dont think this is the best way since the IP address might change since it is assigned by the ISP via DHCP.
Should I create a 192.168.4.0 network with a 255.255.255.248 subnet mask. and give each router its own address within the .4 network? Im not sure where to do this if its different from the local LAN IP addresses listed above.
Do I have to have 2 cable modems at each location in order to create a point to point connection with the other 2 routers?
It seems like I should be able to send 2 seperate VPN signals over the same cable modem in order to connect with the other 2 routers.
If 192.168.x.x is non routable, how is a PC at 192.168.1.101 going to route through to the local cable modem and connect to the cable modem that is in NYC, and then print to the printer located at 192.168.2.11
Ultimately I want to:
1. print to any printer at any of the 3 locations.
2. Remote Desktop into any workstation at any of the 3 locations.
3. Connect to the Internet via a public WiFi hotspot and use my laptop that would have some type of software that would allow me to connect to any of the 3 LANs.
Thank you in advance.

Appendix D of the RVS4000 admin guide has an example of configuring a site-to-site VPN tunnel between 2 routers that have dynamic WAN IP addresses. For your scenario, you can configure a site-to-site tunnel between each pair of WRV200 routers.

ASA 5505 VPN Connection Issue

Good morning everyone,
At my last position I was IT Director whose area of expertise was database and application development. All of the company's networking planning and maintainence I entrusted to my sysadmin, Salvadore. Back in 2004 we began implementing major changes in the network. Salvadore recommended SonicWALL firewalls. He did a fantastic job of securing our valuable server assets. Among the many improvements Salvadore established VPN access to the datacenter assets for mobile employees. What I remember especially well was the ease-of-use: start the VPN Client then RDP to a server or connect with SQL Server, in addition to connecting to all devices on my home network. It was absolutely beautiful!
Fast forward to today. I have since retired. I do a little bit of daytrading on the side for entertainment. I leased a dedicated server to run an application that runs continuously 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. I contacted Salvadore to do a security audit on the server. As expected the server was under constant assault by bots trying to hack the RDP port. Salvadore recommended a firewall. The datacenter host offered us two choices of Cisco firewalls, one of which we chose: ASA 5505.
Today I have a secure server which pleases me. The one thing that bothers me however is that I lose access to my home network devices while the VPN Client is connected. Here are the symptoms:
I cannot send an email with Outlook as I normally do by relaying off of my Internet provider's SMTP server.
I cannot connect to the TradeStation servers with my TradeStation application using login credentials that are authorized for my home network only.
I cannot access my Seagate network storage drive.
This is what I discovered:
My wireless adapter (which I use from this laptop) identifies itself as "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection" in IPCONFIG. IPv4 address is 192.168.0.5. Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1.
After I connect the VPN Client, IPCONFIG reports a new adapter: "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2". IPv4 address is 10.0.10.4. Default Gateway: 10.0.10.1.
When I launch Windows Task Manager and click on the Networking tab, I see those two adapters.
When launch IE and go to bandwidthplace.com to run a test, I see all of the network traffic going over "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2".
When I disconnect VPN and then rerun the bandwidth test, I see that all of the network traffic now goes over "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection".
This explains all of the symptoms:
My Internet Provider will only allow me to relay off of their email servers if I am connected to their network.
TradeStation refuses connection to their network because my credentials do not match my network address.
There is no Seagate network storage device on the remote server network.
My questions to the Cisco Support Community are:
Is this the best I can hope for?
Must all traffic be routed through the VPN connection?
Is there any way to route traffic destined for 10.0.*.* through VPN and everything else through the default connection?
Thank you everyone for your help. I would be happy to provide additional detailed information.

Hi Brian,
you can route traffic destined to 10.0.*.* over the VPN and keep normal internet traffic unencrypted over the default connection - this setup is known as VPN Split Tunnelling.
This doc shows how to setup the access control list and apply this to the tunnel policy.
Hope this helps
