Need some help understanding VPNs on Windows 8.1

I set up an incoming VPN connection on a home PC - myVPNserver - running Win 8.1 Pro (by going to Network Connections/ALT File/New Incoming Connection).  I enabled Port Forwarding on my NetGear Router to forward port 1723 to the
internal IP Address of myVPNserver.  I then set up a Client VPN connection on my Surface also running Win 8.1 Pro (by going to Control Panel/Network & Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Set up a new Connection) and providing the new VPN Connection
with the external IP address of my NetGear Router. 
I can tether my Surface to a shared internet connection my mobile phone and connect to myVPNserver.  I can see the Incoming Connections on myVPNserver change from "No clients connected" to "1 client connected" and then I see
a new connection with my username, connected, and WAN Miniport (PPTP).  So it appears that I have successfully created a VPN connection over the Internet. 
However, I can't see and files on myVPNserver, I can't use Remote Desktop Connection via this VPN to myVPNserver, nor does this VPN connection have any connectivity to the internet or any other services on my LAN.  I can
connect but that's all. 
So what am I missing here?  Do I need to set some other functions/services/settings on myVPNserver or on the client or on the router? 
Totally baffled

Hi,
Regarding current situation, please try  following suggestions:
First, if you install any third part security application with web protection or firewall, please disable or remove it.
Second, please configure a static IP address for your VPNserver.
Third, try to use Private network on your VPN server to see what’s going on.
Hope these could be helpful.

  • Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

    Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
    In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
    So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
    How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
    Thanks,
    Wei

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the response.
    Application release is 11.5.10.
    Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
    Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
    The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
    This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
    Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

  • Need some help understanding AUR please solved

    Still learning the command line here sooooo....
    I've read and reread everything recommended regarding AUR.
    Somewhere I'm overlooking or missing something.
    The AUR users guide says to:
    Users can access the AUR [community] repo by adding/uncommenting this line in their pacman.conf file:
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/community
    Well that line doesn't exist so the guide says to:
    If /etc/pacman.d/community does not exist then it should be created and contain the following:
    [community]
    Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686/
    Evidently I might have a pacman.d/community, but when I pull it up with nano, it's a totally blank page which leads me to believe it's there but not actually created.
    I can't find anything that tells me what I need to do to make sure I've created a pacman.d/community.
    Is a blank page right or shouldn't there be some text in there with comments?
    I can and have installed a few things with yaourt, but I know that I've been lucky so far with that as I know something isn't right.
    I have to use my user password and then my root password in that order or nothing will finish installing so I've stopped using it until I have a better understanding of it.
    Man,, all I wanna do is try out doom3-phantasm,,, for now anyway.

    That's how pacman.conf is set for all the repo's listed. [mirrorlist]
    I know phantasm is in unsupported, I'm trying to figure out how to get unsupported added to pacman so I can get it.
    Theringmaster:
    Yaourt is installed and as I've said I've used it, but, as I also said, each time I use it just before it completes the install it asks for my password, which is fine, but I have to first enter my user password which it refuses, then my root password which it accepts.
    It flat wil not settle for me simply using my root password like it should.
    I've tried several times and this is something that I'm missing also somewhere somehow.
    To my way of thinking, it should be like pacman and accept my root password no questions asked.
    I'll also add that I've tried installing phantasm with yaourt.
    It found all the depends and compiled the complete package.
    When it came to the stage to do the actual install, it asked for a pasword.
    I've tried my user pasword followed by my root password and was kicked out.
    I've tried just my user password and was rejected.
    I've tried my root password and was rejected and when re-entered was kicked out.
    Unless things have changed with Arch and the guide is out of date, there should be a way to add unsupported to pacman.
    I'll try flokes suggestion of changing the permissions in sudo and see what happens.
    Thx guys.
    edit: How the heck does one save a change in VI?
    you do have to have sudo installed and configured (just a three step process see wiki) to use yaourt properly. to save a change in vi press :wq

  • Please, need some help with VPN OS X 10.5.7

    Hi,
    I contacted all ready the Apple support, but they don't support VPN issues.
    So, maybe one of your can help me and point me in the right direction. At home I have an SBS Server 2003 and a NAS System. Within the local network I can access my NAS and my data on the SBS Server via the Finder without any problem. From outside via OSX VPN connection I can access all data with Filezilla, running under OSX. But with the own Apple OSX Server connection ftp:\\192.168.XXX.XXX I have only the rights to read. And only if I connected via VPN. With smb:\\192.168.XXX.XXX I can read and write via VPN connection, but it is much too so slow for useage.
    Is there any thing I can do to get it work, or does I have to use further Filezilla to get the job done.
    By the way, when I connect from Windows XP on parallels via VPN I can read and write fils thru the windows explorer. Only the Finder in OSX gives me this trouble.
    thx

    Apple support could not give me that information after a very long phone conservation.
    Perhaps your enquiry was focused on a VPN issue when infact it was an FTP issue.
    Question is: Can I create a shortcut or alias on the desktop to have fast access to the root of NAS. I could only got one folder by folder as alias to the desktop, but not the NAS itself
    you can create a clickable link I use a safari to do this
    In the address bar of safari type
    smb://user:password@serveradress
    replace user:password with your actual username and pasword for that server and use the correct server address. dont press enter but click on the favicon(globe) to the left of the address and drag it to your desktop. This will make a clickable link on your desktop.

  • Need some help understanding plugin for Outlook

    Testing out the 7.3 plugin for Outlook. I am not clear on how the flagging of spam/not spam etc. works. We have local IronPort devices. We are not cloud based. When a user flags a message as spam in the Inbox, the Admin Guide says Cisco updates the anti-spam filters so the user will not receive emails like this in the future. Not clear how this works. I understand the email is getting submitted to Cisco for analysis but how do they update spam filters for just that one user? I can understand if we were using a cloud device but as I said we have local hardware. Need to understand this process and the Admin Guide falls short of explaining it.

    Reporting spam/phish from Outlook via the plug-in only does that.  It is packaging up the message and sending the message example off to our @access.ironport.com address for submission from that end-user.  The plug-in itself is not actually doing any work to update the anti-spam on your appliance.  These submissions are a work by themselves that is submitted and then reviewed from the rules writing process.  In time, these submissions are scored, updated, and then written into the current IPAS (IronPort Anti-Spam) rules sets that are published back out to the ESA(s) themselves.  So - as long as your ESA is set to get updates (by default, each 5 minutes), then you will get the updated rules --- and these rules are for everyone globally.  
    Hope that helps!  If not - let me know.

  • Need some help understanding the last portion of this simple loop.

    public static void main(String[] args)
            int j = 3;
            for(int i = 5; i > j; i -= 3)
                do
                        System.out.printf("%-+3d, %-+3d\n", j, i);
                while(j-- >= 3);
        }Here is what I understand:
    the for loop starts, with int i equal to 5 and j equal to 3. Since i > j, it runs the statement (Do While loop). The Do While loop prints the values to the screen. Then since j is equal to 3, it will do the Do While loop again, first decrementing j by 1. So j is 2 and i is 5.. those get printed. Then since j is not >= to 3, the loop ends and backs out to the For loop.
    Here is where I am confused. I know that j gets decremented to 1 before it backs to the For loop. I understand everything so far. However, I know that the Do While loop runs again, printing 1 for j and 2 for i. So I gather that since i was greater than j, 3 was subtracted from i... then the Do While ran, printing the new values... and stopped because j isn't >=3. So j becomes zero (though it won't ever print that) but I don't understand how the loop finally ends.
    Any hints? I tried looking at code examples in several books but none have that kind of thing.. only ones that talk about when i is less than a value to stop when that boolean is false. However in this code, i so far has always been greater than j.
    What makes the loop end?
    Thanks in advance,
    SYD
    Edited by: SYD527 on May 15, 2008 1:29 AM

    Well this has to do with the fact that a do while loop checks its condition after running the content of the loop, so even
    do  {
    /* some code */
    } while (false); will atleast run once.
    Each time the for loop goes into a new iteration the do while loop is excecuted atleast once.

  • Need some help understanding vtp issue

    Hi all,
    I had a problem at work today that im still trying to understand.
    We have a vtp domain at work with various switches in. I added a new switch into the network, configured the vtp domain info and it joined fine. data was working ok on the network. Trunk was working fine to the uplink switch and I added the voice vlan so that we could get the voip phones working.
    Data was ok but the phones werent.
    I checked other switches in this domain and they didnt  allow specific vlans on the trunk ports between switches for this voice vlan. However in order to fix my problem I had to specifically allow this voice vlan under 'switchport trunk allowed' on the uplink switch.
    I dont understand why this switch had to allow this vlan when none of the other uplink switches in that domain had to, its like the vlan was being pruned out but shouldnt have been.
    I guess i'm just not understanding vtp well enough. I just thought that if each end was trunked it should allow all vlans?
    Someone try and help me understand this as it felt like a school boy error if all I had to do was allow the vlan on the trunk!!
    Cheers
    Steve

    I think thats my point, 
    Before I explicitly allowed the vlans across the trunk the voice was not working, both the spur and uplink switch gig interfaces were just straight trunks without explicitly set vlans so the trunk should have carried the voice vlan the same as the data one.
    However the voip phones would not work unless I explicitly allowed both data and voice vlans on the uplink switch gig port. 
    This is why I got confused as no where else in the domain did any of the other uplink switches have to explicitly allow any vlans on their trunks!
    When the senior network engineer looked at it he immediately advised they were working as I had not added switchport trunk allowed vlan... on the uplink and that they were being 'pruned' from the interface.
    Make sense?

    In Oracle, and is a higher precedence operator than or, so without parens, your first query is equivalent to:
    SELECT TECHNICAL_SERVICE, LOGICAL_NAME, COUNT("NUMBER"),
           ROUND(AVG(CLOSE_TIME-OPEN_TIME),2) as time
    from SMINCREQ
    where TECHNICAL_SERVICE = 'CLIENT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION' or
          (TECHNICAL_SERVICE='REIMAGE' and
           open_time > '7/1/2011')
    GROUP BY (TECHNICAL_SERVICE,LOGICAL_NAME)
    ORDER BY TIME DESCThat is, find rows where technical_service is CLIENT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION regardless of open_time or
    technical_service is REIMAGE and open_time is after 7/1/2011.
    Your second query is asking for rows where technical_service is either CLIENT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION or REIMAGE and open_time is after 7/1/2011.
    Your third query is looking technical_service CLIENT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION and logical_name BLANK (blank) and open_time after 7/1/2011. It sould be written without parens at all.
    You fourth query is the same as your second with an extra (redundant) set of parens.
    Another issue that may be causing you problems is the use of a string in the comparision to open_time. If that column is defined as a date in the table, then you should really be using to_date('7/1/2011', 'dd-mm-yyyy') for the literal to avoid implicit data type conversions. If it is actually a varchar2, then you are in for a lot of trouble, unless it is very consistenly formatted.

  • JoptionPane need some help understanding, with buttons PLEASE SOMEONE :)

    Hi all I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to explain to me how I can add a method to buttons in a JoptionPane.
    Also can I pplease ask for you to look at this code I think I have stuff something as it is not working the way that I want,

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:

    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Need some help with: implement email notification on note board within a page layout (javascript)

    Dear all,
    I have a quite specific issue in which I'm in need of some guidance and help!
    Within our SharePoint I have created a custom page layout. This is a simple page to post some content (news) and a standard Note Board is implemented.
    Every time a news item is placed, this is done by our communication departement, this page with standard layout is placed as a page in a page library. When there are no comments on that particular item/subject I found a solution to replace the standard SharePoint_no_posts-text
    by placing a contenteditor web part in the Page Layout with a reference to a textfile with some javascript in it. This works perfectely.
    The only thing left is that I want to automatically send an email to the contact (which is defined when making the news item) everytime someone posts a new comment. Here is where I need some help!
    We don't really use mysites so I was wondering if someone could tell how I could do this by for example some code (javascript) which I can implement in the Page Layout.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gr Matt

    Try below code:
    function sendMail() {
    var link = 'mailto:?subject=insert subject line&body=';
    var curntLoc=window.location.href;
    link +=escape(curntLoc);
    window.location.href = link;
    // window.location.href = link;

  • Need some help with pictures

    Hi,
    I need some help to try to understand some of my issues; i'm creating a catalogue for a company and i'm uploading TIFFs pictures (600 of them). My problem is that this catalogue is both for print and web but is getting really heavy as a file, is there another way to convert all the pictures and maintain the quality for print and a reasonable size for web?
    I'm uploading TIFFs because i need the transparency and i can't upload as PNG...
    Can someone help me please.
    I really appreciate

    Choose either file size (for web) or image quality (for print). Something has to give.
    This "for web" business, is that still a PDF? Then export for print with full resolution, and export another version to put online where yo adjust the export settings for the web until image quality is worse than having a megabyte or two more.

    Hi Martin
    Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
    Which mac?
    Which OS?
    any hardware devices?
    if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.
