Howto start VPN when host is not reachable

Hi there,
I have secured my Email access via iPhone.
For that I set it up to use my email servers internal hostname (not know on the public net). Due to that i have to open a VPN tunnel everytime I want to exchange mails.
Is there a way with the iPhone Configuration Utility (or else) to set up a profile that automatically opens the VPN when the host is called?
I'd grateful if anyone can help!
André

I don't believe so, no.

IOS Remote Desktop App resolves hostname but throws Host is not reachable error.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Remote Desktop app on my iPad running iOS 7.0.2 to connect to a server through our Juniper VPN. When I type the hostname or IP address I get an error that say "Host is not reachable". If I connect through my Mac I have no
problem when on the same VPN. I have looked through all of the setting in Junos Pulse and it is setup to route all traffic through the VPN, and I do not know of anything that would be blocking it on the network end.
Edit: I am connecting to a Windows Server 2008 R2 box with RDP turned on with all types of connections.
Here is the log data for my latest attempt.

Hi,
According to the log, your iPad tried to connect the remote server with IP address 10.100.01.01/32. Please check if it is the correct IP address of the server.
Also, please make sure that your iPad can connect to your VPN network successfully and get a valid IP address so that it can remote your internal server.
Thanks.

Glitch in Windows 10 about Start Menu when it will not show

I just installed windows 10 on a vm and when I first installed windows 10, I clicked the
Start Buttonand the start menu did not show up. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried:
1. Rebooting
2. Double clicking the button

In build 9926, there is no such option as " Use Start Menu instead of Start Screen " anymore.
As to your Start Menu not showing up, MS is aware of the issue.
In fact, Insider Hub has posted Known issues in 9926. One of the known issue is the Start Menu.
Here is the direct copy......
Start menu
When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix
this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type
http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should
make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the
Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the
Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart.

L2L VPN Issue - one subnet not reachable

Hi Folks,
I have a strange issue with a new VPN connection and would appreciate any help.
I have a pair of Cisco asa 5540s configured as a failover pair (code version 8.2(5)).
I have recently added 2 new L2L VPNs - both these VPNs are sourced from the same interface on my ASA (called isp), and both are to the same customer, but they terminate on different firewalls on the cusomter end, and encrypt traffic from different customer subnets.    There's a basic network diagram attached.
VPN 1 - is for traffic from the customer subnet 10.2.1.0/24.    Devices in this subnet should be able to access 2 subnets on my network - DMZ 211 (192.168.211.0./24) and DMZ 144 (192.168.144.0/24).    This VPN works correctly.
VPN 2 - is for traffic from the customer subnet 192.168.1.0/24.    Devices in this subnet should be able to access the same 2 subnets on my network - DMZ 211 (192.168.211.0./24) and DMZ 144 (192.168.144.0/24).    This VPN is not working correctly - the customer can access DMZ 144, but not DMZ 211.
There are isakmp and ipsec SAs for both VPNs.    I've noticed that the packets encaps/decaps counter does not increment when the customer sends test traffic to DMZ 211. This counter does increment when they send test traffic to DMZ144.   I can also see traffic sent to DMZ 144 from the customer subnet 192.168.1.0/24 in packet captures on the DMZ 144 interface of the ASA.   I cannot see similar traffic in captures on the DMZ211 interface (although I can see traffic sent to DMZ211 if it is sourced from 10.2.1.0/24 - ie when it uses VPN1)
Nat exemption is configured for both 192.168.1.0/24 and 10.2.1.0/24.
There is a route to both customer subnets via the same next hop.
There is nothing in the logs toindicate that traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 is being dropped
I suspect that this may be an issue on the customer end, but I'd like to be able to prove that.   Specifically, I would really like to be able to capture traffic destined to DMZ 211 on the isp interface of the firewall after it has been decrypted - I don't know if this can be done however, and I haven'treally found a good way to prove or disprove that VPN traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 to DMZ211 is arriving at the isp interface of my ASA, and to show what's happening to that traffic after it arrives.
Here is the relevant vpn configuration:
crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 90 match address VPN_2
crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 90 set peer 217.154.147.221
crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 90 set transform-set 3dessha
crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 90 set security-association lifetime seconds 86400
crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 100 match address VPN_1

crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 100 set transform-set 3dessha
crypto map MY_CRYPTO_MAP 100 set security-association lifetime seconds 86400

Clearing the counters was a good idea. If the counter is not incrementing and if ping from the remote side is not causing the VPN to come up it certainly confirms that something is not working right.
It might be interesting to wait till the SAs time out and go inactive and then test again with the ping from the remote subnet that is not working. Turn on debug for ISAKMP and see if there is any attempt to negotiate. Especially if you do not receive any attempt to initiate ISAKMP from then then that would be one way to show that there is a problem on the remote side.
Certainly the ASA does have the ability to do packet capture. I have used that capability and it can be quite helpful. I have not tried to do a capture on the outside interface for incoming VPN traffic and so am not sure whether you would be capturing the encrypted packet or the de-encrypted packet. You can configure an access list to identify traffic to capture and I guess that you could write an access list that included both the peer addresses as source and destination to capture the encrypted traffic and entries that were the un-encrypted source and destination subnets to capture traffic after de-encryption.

How do I get rid of the "using an older version of Firefox" start page when I am not?

When I start my browser (Firefox 8.0.1) it tells me I have not upgraded, but I have (10) times.

Thank you!! I know i explained it wrong. I meant that my Firefox start page always says, right under google search, in the middle of the page where firefox puts there little wording. "You are using an older version of firefox, update now". I already have the newest version of firefox but even if i download it again, to 8.0.1, it still says i am using an older version on the start page!!
Thanks again!!

How do I get to the start page when I'm not on it currently? there used to be a buttom for it

I recently updated to version 6.0.2 of Firefox. This version doesn't seem to have a "home page" button. How do I get to the home page when I'm currently not on it? I shouldn't have to press the "backpage" button until I get there or type it in to get there.

You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the previous position at the left of the location bar if you do not like that new position.

Long delay executing "select from m_service_replication" when partner is not reachable.

I'm testing two SAP HANA SP08 with synchronous system replication. When connection between two replication partner is not available, any query that does select from m_service_replication takes relatively long time (almost 3 minutes for the first query after connection gets severed). All other queries I tried are not affected. Is it expected behavior? I do not quite understand why simple SQL query should depend on replication status, especially as hdbcons replication info returns immediately.
Thank you!

Hi,
actually your database should not hang. Because when it hangs on one node this error will impact all the other instances as well, since this node has database blocks in memory it exclusively accesses, and when these cannot be transferred, your other nodes will "wait". Hence it is crucially important that when your disk controller hangs, the database instance gets aborted, if not even the node should get evicted.
So if your described szenario really is the case, then the service definition will not help you fix the issue. You should instead have a look at the reason, why the node does not react (or does not get an error).
If the clusternode behaves correctly then the service will failover. Just make sure you configure your clients correctly to react to this:

I'm having issues with iMessage. It works fine on wifi and I receive messages as iMessage without issue in network or wifi. However as I send a message it starts as iMessage then says not delivered. Then sends as SMS since I have it enabled.

iMessage works on wifi without issue. However I receive messages on network but can't send. I send a message it starts sending as iMessage ten says it can't send. Then starts to send as SMS since it's enabled. I have reset network sertings, updated to ios7, etc and done about 3 othe suggested in order resets to get it to work and it still hasn't started working when I'm not on wifi. Any suggestions?
It's a iPhone 4S. I have two iPhones. One setup to receive iMessage just to its phone number. Therapeutic to receive to its phone and email. I wouldn't think that would be the issue as all 3 are separate. Bone the same going to both phones.
Thanks for the help!!!

Connection to remote host in NWDS preferences (SAP Instance not reachable)

Hi Experts
I am trying to connect to a SAP Web AS running CE 7.1 with Netweaver Developer Studio as described [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/46/9ca4cf4e8b0487e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm].
The u201Cinstance hostu201D is a remote host. When I try to connect with NWDS 7.1 SPS 5, I get the error message:
SAP Instance is currently not reachable. Check if the SAP Instance number is correct.
However, with NWDS 2004s SPS 13 (installed on the same machine) and message server port 3901, I can see the host in the J2EE view with two green dots (icm, server 0) and one grey dot (debugproxy). NWDS seems to connect (in spite of the grey dot).
Do I have to configure anything else in NWDS (message server port)? Does the debugproxy have to be started?
Thanks for helping!
Kind regards
Bettina

I had the same issue and resolved by adding:
(1) Windows server firewall exception to include "D:\usr\sap\CE1\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386\sapstartsrv.exe" EXE.
Basically, the windows server on which SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 was installed, by default, BLOCKS all relevant ports:
50000-50020 & 50100-50120. By add the above (a) rule, the serrver allows any incoming TCP connections used by "D:\usr\sap\CE1\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386\sapstartsrv.exe."

What I have attempted:
- Attempted to connect to Shared Services, Workspace url's - YES
- Checked openLDAP & my Database is running - YES
- Added following to Configuration File :
SharedServicesLocation machinex 28080
AUTHENTICATIONMODULE CSS http://machinex:28080/interop/framework/getCSSConfigFile YES, but same error
- Changed essbase.bak to essbase.sec YES but same error
- netstat -an to check for 1423. Port 1423 is not listening, although ALL TCP Ports have been enabled. So YES but same error.
- Read Knowledgebase article # 954322.1 - the suggested things in there don't seem to apply to my case, unless I am missing something.
At this point does anybody have any suggestions ?

An update: Just for kicks, I tried restarting Essbase using Start->Programs-EPMSystem->Essbase->EssbaseServer->Essbase.bat and apparently now Essbase is started.
EAS, Studio and Planning however are down.
Excerpt from the HyS9eas-sysout.log:

Stopping DAO factory!
HBR Configuration has not been initialized. Make sure you have logged in sucessfully and there are no exceptions in the HBR log file.
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
.... bunch of java code.
This is really strange. There is NOTHING that I changed, started or stopped which could have caused Essbase to start magically all of a sudden.
Any insights into the cause of all this ?

ISE NODE NOT REACHABLE when building distributed deployment

I am trying to build a distributed deployment with the following personas:
2 policy admin nodes
2 monitoring nodes
4 policy service nodes
This was a project that was partially implemented but never in production. It was in a distributed deployment, but half the nodes were no longer working (http errors or devices weren't reachable or could not sync). I decided to start from scratch. All nodes were:
-de-registered
-application was reset to factory defaults on all nodes
-upgraded all 8 nodes to 1.1.4.218 patch 1
-installed all new certs and joined all nodes to the domain
-added to DNS forward and reverse lookup zones
When I make 1 admin node primary and register the other nodes (secondary admin, monitoring, policy services) the nodes successfully register and show up in the deployment window of the primary; however, all the nodes show as NODE NOT REACHABLE. After registration, I've noticed that the registered nodes are still showing as STANDALONE if I access the GUI. I've tried rebooting them manually after registration and they are still unreachable. I have also tried resetting the database user password from the CLI on both admin nodes and the results are always the same.

Originally I had added them all at the same time. I thought that maybe I just wasn't waiting long enough for the sync. I waited an entire day and all the nodes were still unreachable. At this point, I've de-registered all the nodes, rebooted all the nodes, converted the primary back to standalone (the remaining nodes never converted from standalone to distributed even when I rebooted them after registering despite a message that they were successfully registered), converted one node back to primary and tried to register just the secondary admin node giving it plenty of time to sync; this node is still not reachable from the primary.
I've quadruple checked the certificates on all the nodes, these certs were all added on the same day (just last week) and the default self-signed certs were removed.
I had restored from a backup on the primary so I might just rest the config on that node and try joining the other nodes before I restore again.
