Leopard Server VPN L2TP Not receiving connections, PPTP works fine??

All,
Setting up a new OSX Snow Leopard server. The server is NOT running the firewall service. I created an L2TP VPN, with PPTP. PPTP works fine... however I am unable to connect to the L2TP.
I receive the error: The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting, if the problem continues, verify your settings.
The server is behind an apple airport N router. I've tried connecting from both inside and outside (outside I mapped ports UDP 1701, 4500, and 500) with no luck. I even tried creating a VPN connection from the actual server to itself, and get the same error.
The logs show nothing - The extension is loaded, listening for connections, and nothing at all after that even after a connection try is made. PPTP works fine, and lots of logs there.
Appreciate any help!!

I too since yesterday am having the same issue. It's as if the L2TP tunnel is not making it thru the Airport N DualWireless to the MacMini server. It was running just fine up until yesterday when I installed Security Update 2010-001 v1.0. I can use PPTP outside my network all day long and I can even use L2TP from inside my network just fine so I know the server is responding to local requests. I have tried from cell modem, client T1, client cable internet with no joy. I have rebooted AEBS & Server with no results. When trying L2TP from outside LAN and watching log in realtime it does not even show it's trying. I had this issue once before when I had mobileme "back to my mac" turned on and it was causing an issue but it's off and hasn't been on in some time. I suspect the update. Did you install that update?

10.5 Server VPN L2TP racoon cannot connect to socket

So there is another thread that didn't specify a fix and I'm hoping we can get this thing resolved.
OS X 10.5.8 Server with ports forwarded through firewall and landing on this box was working perfectly. It randomly has stopped and the vpnd.log is reporting...
Unable to connect racoon control socket (errno = 61)
This error happens about every second or so if VPN is enabled.
I have tried changing the subnet, disabling and re-enabling of L2TP, but nothing it working. I believe there is a stuck process that cannot die.
I'm assuming a reboot would resolve this, but this is a product system hosting other critical services and rebooting is not an easy process.
Thoughts?

This is also happening to me, but on 10.6.2. I have restarted, changed subnet range, changed the shared secret, but I continue to get the EDT Unable to connect racoon control socket (errno = 61). I have had the same experience as Grant, but everything I try does not work. Has anyone resolve their issues with this error?

Snow Leopard Server VPN and other Servers

I am thinking of deploying Snow Leopard Server at work using the Mac MiniServer option. We have a few Macs that we would like to manage their settings with. We also have Active Directory. I plan to use Open Directory with the Mac then use kerbos for logins.
My question is if I use the Snow Leopard Server VPN with the Macs, will the users be able to access other resources on the LAN like Active Directory Shares, Exchange, and internal Intranets? Or only the Snow Leopard Server?
Thanks,
WillGonz

It sounds like you will have 2 different kerberos realms, one in OD and one in AD.
If you want them to use the same realm (the AD one) you need to look at a "golden triangle" setup.
If you want to authenticate the VPN connection using Kerberos I suspect you need to be able to reach the KDC server from Internet before the VPN is up. That would mean it needs to have a public IP and same name as on the LAN(?).
As an alternative a Radius connection for the VPN authentication from the Mac to an AD/Radius server might be possible.

My wi-fi connection is enabled, however Safari is telling me the server stopped responding. My laptop is working fine on the same wi-fi network. I have reset the network settings and still Safari will not open any web pages. Help!

Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

Safari is not connecting to internet on my iPad. Says "could not open the page becuase the server stopped responding." Everything else that updates over wireless connection is working fine. Get same response on any site I try to visit. Need Help!

MBP 5.1 I have a recent problem with airport connectivity. ethernet connection is working fine, but wifi has become extremely slow and bad functioning. signal is received, no problem with the wlan (my husband 's wifi with MBP is perfect) please help

I have a MBP 5.1 with snow leopard 10.6.8. It has been working fine until few days ago, when it started to have different problems:
1) airport is not working well. it is extremely slow, has difficulties in fully loading pages, looses connectivity, It is not browser related, behaves thesame in safari or firefox; it is not the router/wlan; my husband mbp wifi works fine (as it was mine...) and iphone wifi is also working fine. it sees the signal and different networks. , it is also very very slow in opening skype (after that, it is working ok) if I connect via ethernet cable to the same router, everything works perfectly and with the correct speed.could it be a damaged airport card? a software problem/corruption? logic board? (I hope not, the computer is out of apple care now....)
2) after a certain time (more than hours) of use, the trackpad is behaving strangly, increase sensitivity to touch, unwanted selection of folders, files and text or images in web pages when i move the cursor, the cursor jumping all over the places while writing, ecc I have the impression it starts doing that when I use heavily the CPU ( and the temperature goes up). Is this again a problem of the mother/logic board?
I had recently serviced it since it was not booting properly, but except some permissions repaired, they did noit find anything wrong in the hard drive (which I have now substituted with a SSD) or other hardware.
thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again

I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

Here's the error message I get.
Note the TC is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my iMac is also connected to the AX via ethernet so it's not a wifi issue.
I can see the TC in the finder so it's not 'gone' from the network either.
Also note that just then the TM system pref pane was claiming a backup error, citing my 'network password' and still refusing to backup. I waited 5 minutes and did some tidying of my office while I pondered this and then tried again and voila it worked ok.

HI my network connections is working fine but it doesnt allow me to update software or access apple store. Any suggestions?

Then it simply was NOT Brand New. Doesn't matter what the box looked like when you got it or if you went through the setup pages when you first turned it on. If it is registered to some other Apple ID then someone else had originally registered it and locked it to there ID.
Type in the serial number of the system into this page.

And see when it was originally registered.
Then send it back to Amazon as Used.

So I bought a brand new macbook from Amazon, and it came factory sealed (Not my first time buying a macbook, last one I bought was from Apple directly) but after I got this, I put in my apple I.D. and it told me there were updates available. I told it to go ahead and update, and it updated about half of the list, but the essential stuff (pages, notes, etc) it says "This software was installed using another Apple I.D. Please logon with that I.D. to install the software." I'm a bit baffled by this as it is a brand new mac and so I don't know why anyone else's I.D. would be logged into this mac. I'm not really worried about it though, as I don't really need to update my pages, etc, as I like what I have, but I'd love for this stupid "updates availble" popup to stop popping up every freaking day!!!
Anyone have any suggestions on finding out how to either gain access to update, or get rid of that "other" i.d. that is somehow associated with my brand new macbook?
I'm running OSX 10.9 if that is of any consequence.

Never mind, problem solved. When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually. Have a nice day @:-)#

My "Apple TV" is hooked up via HDMI to my Marantz receiver. Everything works fine when watching movies. When trying to watch a show or listen to music, there is no sound. Has this happened to anyone else?

Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.
psoon, here's a link to the iPad community:

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine. All file types, Lightroom is no longer recognising the images to import, The panel that usually displays them remains empty. Try using backup versions, removing software that could conflict , still no joy, has anyone had this problem?

Did you follow this procedure?
Our iTunes guru Terence Devlin advises the following:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Drag the iTunes folder from your internal hd - located in ~/Music folder - to your external hd. DO NOT delete the original one from your internal hd... yet!
3. When the transfer is complete, press and hold the Option(alt) key and fire up iTunes.
4. A "Choose iTunes Library" window will come up. Click on the "Choose Library" button.
5. Navigate to where the iTunes folder is located in the external hd.
6. Within the iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library file and click Choose...
That's it. iTunes will now display all your playlists, songs, movies, podcasts etc. At this point, should you wish, you can delete the iTunes folder from the internal hd to free up space.
