How can I connect to windows vpn

Hello,
I am trying to connect to a Windows VPN through my macbook air running Lion. Anyone know how?

I was struggling with this for a few days as well!  Finally got it working though ! YAY !
Here are the steps:
1. Add this to your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PolicyAgent]
"AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule"=dword:00000002
2. Open secpol.msc (click start > search for secpol.msc)
- Local Policies > Security Options
- Network Security : LAN Manager Auth Level…
- Set to: Send LM & NTLMv2 - UseNTLMv2…
And
- Network Security : Minimum session security… clients
- uncheck "Require 128-bit encryption"
3. Restart PC
4. Create VPN Connection on Windows 7
- Host Name: (server IP or yourhost.name.com)
- PPP Settings : Enable LCP (only)
- Type: L2TP/IPSec
- Pre-shared key : yoursharedsecret
- Data encryption : Optional encryption
- Allow CHAO and CHAPv2
5. Router on server-side must allow VPN Passthrough and forward ports: 50, 51, 500, 548, 1701, 1723, 4500 to the server box. Also, do not filter anonymous internet requests, multicast or NAT Redirection but enable SPI Firewall.
...now you should be good to go

  • How can I connect to a VPN via PPTP?

    Hello,
    I am a foreigner living in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi Province, in China. I bought my macbook the summer of 2006. It still works perfectly except I cannot connect to the internet here at the university.
    The internet here is split into two parts: local, and international. The ethernet connection allows me to access Chinese websites, but nothing else. It sounds counterintuitive but really, that's how it is. In order to get the rest of the world, all computers have to connect to a VPN via PPTP. Once this is established, viola, you have internet.
    My problem is I cannot seem to connect to the VPN. I have used Internet Connect, I have created a VPN via PPTP, and put in all the right numbers...
    the VPN IP is 202.207.128.115
    the username is tyut
    the password is tyut
    But when I try to connect, it just says it can't. Nobody at the university has been helpful because they've never used a Mac before, and besides which, they aren't used to using a computer in English.
    Can anyone help me? Or does anyone know how to get in touch with Apple Services in China (in English)?

    Yeah, but that's not the problem here. I'm an English teacher at Taiyuan University of Technology (the irony does not escape me). The other teachers have PCs and can get full internet in their apartment. Since I have a mac, it's much harder for the school technicians to help me.
    This is what my log says from the VPN connection (which does connect now.)
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : PPTP connecting to server '202.207.128.115' (202.207.128.115)...
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : PPTP connection established.
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : Using interface ppp0
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : Connect: ppp0 <--> socket[34:17]
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : local IP address 172.30.1.252
    Mon Oct 29 16:05:52 2007 : remote IP address 172.30.1.2
    But I still can't load any pages from the VPN connection, just the regular ethernet connection (local internet). It doesn't work if I use IP addresses instead. :-/ I unselected "send all traffic over the VPN connection" because if it's selected, I don't even get local internet.
    Looking online I found a possible fix, but it's for Windows XP. I don't know how to find the same settings on the Mac...For Windows XP:
    1. Click Start -> Control Panel
    2. Click on the Network and Internet Connections icon and then click "Network Connections". If your Control Panel is in classic view, simply double click the "Network Connections" icon.
    3. Right click on the new VPN connection and select Properties
    4. Select the "Networking" tab
    5. Verify that Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is highlighted
    6. Click on the Properties button
    7. Within the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties window, click on the "Advanced..." button. Within the Advanced TCP/IP Settings window, REMOVE the check mark next to "Use default gateway on remote network"
    8. Click "OK" to close all open windows
    Where would the "default gateway on remote network" be on a Mac?

  • How can i connect my Windows PC to my Mac easily?

    Hi,
    Windows can really get on my nerves. I try to connect my Mac to my PC with an ethernet cable through the LAN but it just won't see it and when I type in the IP address, it says the address is invalid and when I try to connect to it through the Mac it says 'cannot connect to server'.
    Somebody must be able to help, please do. All i need is for somebody to tell me how to do it easily,
    cheers, Sam

  • How do I connect a Windows 8.1 tablet to a new Macbook Pro?

    I am going to be purchasing a new Macbook Pro soon.  In addition, I'll probably purchase a new Windows 8.1 tablet to replace my aging iPad 2.  How can I connect the Windows tablet to the new Macbook Pro so I can add/remove data & movies?
    Thanks to everyone for this help on this; I appreciate it.

    Windows 8.1 is designed as a desktop operating system, so it doesn't need to be connected to any PC and you won't be able to connect it to your MacBook Pro because it hasn't got any port to do it.
    Instead, what you can do is to install iTunes on the tablet and access to all your content purchased from the iTunes Store by using your Apple ID, or transfer your songs by using Home Sharing > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819

  • I just bought a new iMac and I am using a apple air port router.  How do I connect mt windows PC to the air port router do I can move files

    I Just purchased a 21.5 iMac and connected it to the Internet using a apple air port router.  How do I connect my windows PC to my air port router so I can transfer files.

    It makes life easier to install the airport utility for windows.. which has a couple of different apps in it.. if you airport is new type then the utility is too old.. but is still valuable for Bonjour which provides network information for shared devices in the apple world to windows.. and a disk access agent..
    It will also help the Apple computer access shared directory in the windows computer.. nowadays this is pretty easy.

    how can I connect two thunderbolt monitors to my macmini in windows 8 and bootcamp? Works fine in OSX

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • 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,
    please offer us information when your Windows 7 client denied, such as event id, original error information, screenshot.

  • How can i connect to SQL Server 7.0 on Windons Using JDBC

    How can i connect to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 on a windows enviroment ?
    in sql server 2000 some jar files are required that is
    What you need to do is actually add all three jar files to your class path individually. There are three jar files that come with this driver the msbase.jar, msutil.jar, and mssqlserver.jar. for sqlQ server 2000.
    now the problem is that i cant find these files on my system. firstly where these files will be located. secondly are they will be used to connect to SQL Server 7.0. thirdly if not what is the procedure.
    My next Problem is that I have Websphere Studio Application Developer. in which their is this facility of Database Webpages its like a wizard which makes automatically beans servlets and JSP but before that you need a Driver Name and and Class Name for to Connect to the Database.
    Can you tell what is the specific Driver Path for the Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 . secondly is this the class which is used to connect to SQL server 7.0 "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" where can i find this one. for SQL server 7.0.
    please provide some guidance in this regard.

    You can search for the JDBC drivers at, http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
    All the three jars that you specified are part of MsSQL Server jdbc driver. You need them (in the classpath) to get connected to the database.
    "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" is the class in mssqlserver.jar. This is the driver class which will be used to get connected to the database.
    You can search in this forum for writting jdbc code (for Sql Server). If you don't find these jars, give me your e-mail id.
