[SOLVED, kind of] VPN connection problems

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem connecting to a VPN in KF5:
Until a couple days ago, I was using KDE4, and there I was still able to connect to a VPN (I'm using IPVanish), although after connecting to any VPN I always had to run the command
# ip route add default dev tun0
for the NetworkManager to actually use the connection.
However, now with KF5, this doesn't seem to work anymore. All my VPN connections are listed in the applet, and connecting to any fo them also seems to work (it takes a few second, then the VPN connection is added to the "Active Connections" section), however, all my network traffic still goes through my "normal" connection. Running the above command after connecting to a VPN doesn't change anything.
Here is the log of NetworkManager, I can't spot anything unusual:

I'd be thankful for any hint or tip!
Edit:
Okay, I figure out a way to use VPN:
NetworkManager somehow appears to have some problems with OpenVPN. I tried to set up a connection using PPTP (both are offered by the provider), and it works right away without doing any additional work.
It's not really a solution to the above problems, but it solves the issue for me...

Try going to www.whatismyip.com whilst it works, then double check when it doesn't. Router might be having its 'heartbeat' and changing IP's. Going to a static might work, or using something like dyndns.
Also, find out whay port your VPN uses then to to www.canyouseeme.org to check you can be seen from the outside world, if not, then could be port forwarding issue.
Both of these are kind of unlikely seeing as it is a daily thing that happens at the same time, however they would be worth checking just to make sure.
Just my two cents

How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
Connection Type: Basic
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1158
SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?username: sys
password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
type ---> hostname
type ---->ping hostname
you can find the ipaddress of the server
port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
SID: DB1
try it
Good Luck

Out of ideas diagnosing VPN connection problems

I'm having trouble narrowing down what's causing the VPN connection problems to my new Mini Server. Sometimes I can connect just fine with my MacBookPro and use all the resources like file sharing, etc. So, this leads me to believe it has been setup correctly. But then, for no reason at all (maybe it's later in the same day, or a completely different day) it will just stop working and I cannot connect at all.
*MacBook and iMac at home cannot connect, but iPhone can*
This is what's really throwing me off. This afternoon, I cannot connect to the server from home with my MacBook or my iMac. BUT, my iPhone can -using the same WiFi network my computers are on, not the cellular network. How could that be? The VPN settings on all 3 devices match exactly.
*Colleagues with other ISP's can connect, while I cannot*
I've called Comcast business (which provides the static IP for our office server) and they tell me all my settings are correct for allowing VPN traffic through. Likewise, Comcast Residential tells me there is nothing that would block VPN traffic from my home. They tell me to talk with Apple. argh!
*Web and Server Admin services are still accessible when VPN is not working*
We have exposed the Server's Web and Admin services without needing a VPN connection to access them. Since these services are accessible to me even when the VPN is not working, this leads me to believe the server is operating normally and capable of receiving incoming traffic.
I'm out of ideas and I'm starting to lose my mind!!! Any ideas on why my 2 computers sometimes can connect, yet sometimes cannot...all the while, my iPhone can connect just fine over the same network???

I don't have an explanation for the erratic nature of your connections. It's only as I've said before, in my experiences with such problems it has always traced back to misconfigured network or DNS settings. mDNS is multicast DNS and it's a protocol Apple uses so its devices can find each other easily. That may be the reason why your iPhone can connect when other things can't.
To take a step back, here is how I think things should be set up:
\- Your dedicated IP address should be assigned to your router automatically through PPPoE
\- The name servers as set in your router should be your ISP's name servers
\- Make sure the server has only one connection to the router that is managing the dedicated IP, either wired or wireless, but not both
\- A static network address should be assigned to your server's MAC address in the router's DHCP settings
\- The server's network address should be put in the DMZ on the router or set as the default server in the NAT settings, depending on the router
\- The network settings in System Preferences on the server should be set to DHCP with manual address and the server's network address entered correctly
\- The router address should be listed correctly in the network settings in System Preferences on the server
\- The name servers in the network settings in System Preferences on the server should be 127.0.0.1 and the router's IP address, nothing else.
\- The zone files on the server should have a primary and reverse zone for each domain name and its network address. Do not use the dedicated IP address in the zone files on the server.
If everything is set as I described, it should work. If it doesn't, it's time to call a witch doctor or an exorcist.

Hi Karsten,
Thank you for the reply !!! & best wishes for the new year 2014.
The problem is like this, if i select datacard connection type to NDIS it works but it doesnt work when i select RAS(modem) connection type for 3G datacard it doesnt. (NDIS and RAS(Modem) connection types are the 2 modes currently supporetd by the datacard.). Is there any case the users are experiencing from the similar problem? and what they have done to solve the issues? And thank you for the workaroung, i have checked the shrew-soft with win7 and it was working fine but not on win8, i will check shrew-soft on win8 very soon. Also we can move to the anyconnect solution but just want to know if this can solve our problem or not? whether there will be any issues with anyconnect solution for win 8 or not? can you please confim.
Thank you

VPN Connection Problems

I have an apple TC at home, running firmware version 7.6.1, and I can't connect to a VPN server at my work through the TC wifi. If I connect my macbook directly to my modem with an ethernet cable, I can connect without difficulties. When attempting to connect through the TC wifi, the VPN status indicator says that I connect and authenticate, but when I attemp to access a secured, internal website or computer at my work nothing connects.
Any suggestions? Happy to provide more info on my setup and devices if you need it.
Thanks for your help.

I turned off 'Back to my Mac' after reading an article about it using ports soemtimes used for VPN connection but it didn't seem to help.
Turning off BTMM does not change the port allocation in the TC.. that is where the problem is.
Can you be more specific about the ports required for my VPN? The setup in my network connections on the MPBP points to my work website and everything else (except for my my password) seems to be automatic without mentioning any specific port numbers. If I did find the required port number from the tech support guys at work, how exactly do I set them on my MBP.
This setup again has nothing to do with the MBP.. it is the router where the issue is.. as clearly your initial experiment connecting directly to the modem shows.. it is open ports on the router that you need to do.
I cannot tell you which ports without knowing what vpn client you are using. That is why my previous post began.. what vpn and what client??? Perhaps I should put it in bold.. WHAT VPN CLIENT DO YOU USE?
Is it a built in client in Mac OS.. or is it a Cisco client or some other brand software client.. tell me that.. and I can probably figure out the ports.
The vpn client should also have a log.. that will likely have useful information about why the VPN cannot connect.
Also, I have an old linksys router. How do I connect this into my setup if I put the TC into bridge mode?
Connect the Linksys up to the modem in router mode.. bridge the TC. The Linksys will now be the main router and handle the connection. The TC becomes a dumb WAP and switch plus network hard disk.
Will all my devices setup to run from and back-up to the TC still work?
Yes, the network will still function as it did. You do not need to change the TC wireless or other settings.. just bridge instead of main router.
Look in the Linksys for VPN pass-through. Some have it set automatically.. others require it checked.
If you run into issues.. I need the exact model number and firmware revision to work out how to fix vpn.

Cisco VPN Connection Problems

Hello Everyone,
We're having a problem with the Cisco VPN connection capability in Snow Leopard.
The transaction complains that our shared secret is incorrect. What I believe is happening is that certain assumptions are made about the IKE proposals and encryption etc. There doesn't appear to be a place to tailor these in the connection profile. There may be at the system level (which I'm unaware of).
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I believe the same problem applies to the iPhone's Cisco VPN connector.
Furthermore, Cisco is not providing Snow-Leopard IPSec home-to-network clients any longer; they are promoting the AnyConnect SSL VPN instead, for which they have a BETA build available specifically for Snow Leopard.
So this reduces our options (yes, I'm working on VPNTracker).
Thank you.

It is a known limitation that you are only able to establish a single VPN connection to the same VPN server through a router doing NAT like yours.
What client exactly do you use and what settings did you define there?

VPN connection problem

I am currently unable to connect to my VPN server with either of 2 Lion machines 2010 white MacBook and a black MacBook . I run iVPN (L2TP) on an old PPC Mac Mini, my iPhone and iPad still connect instantly. When the Lion machines try to connect for they try for about a minute and fail returning "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator." I currently have my router setup to port foward and use a dynamic DNS. I tried connecting straight to the VPN directly by changing to the internal LAN IP still no luck. Any suggestions

I've been out of my SonicWall VPN since I upgraded to Lion last week. Found a trick and succeeded. I had to reconfigure the settings on the Sonicwall and make sure that the phase 1 and phase 2 authentications were using AES encryption rather than 3DES.
That did the trick and I was back in.
Of course now my 10.6.8 clients are out - I'll post more on that front if I figure it out.

VPN Connections problem

Hi there.
I have a customer that runs two ASA devices (Version 7.2(2)) in failover scheme, and several users that connect to the network using VPN Clients with different versions. Actually, just a few users have been facing a weird problem, when they connect to the VPN, sometimes they can access all the services, sometimes they don't; nor even can ping a device. At other times, they can connect, can access the network resources but with 4 or 5 five minutes since the session start, they are disconnected receiving an error specifying that the remote peer is no longer responding. I checked the settings, and there are users with exactly the same configuration that do not have any problem, and until this moment I don't realize what could be causing this strange behavior. Do anyone faced this issue before? Any suggests? Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Just to clarify: the users that are having problems access the network using different ISPs.

Linksys WRTU54G-TM VPN connection problems

i cannot seem to get VPN (pptp) to work with this router. if i directly connect to the cable modem it works fine. i have updated the firmware and also i have made sure to enable all VPN pass-throughs. i even tried disabling the firewalls on both the router and my computer but to no avail. what is the issue here? i sometimes work from home and i really need to get this working.
thanks

What software you are using, when you try to connect to your VPN network. You need to open the Ports for your VPN software on your router and once its done, after this you will be able to access VPN on your computer.

Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well.
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

[Mac OS X] Problems setting up L2TP VPN Connection

I recently moved from Windows to Mac OS X (10.6.6). Unfortunately this move was not so smoothly as I hoped for and I am currently facing some issues with the VPN-connection to the company I work for. As with many companies they do not have a Mac-guide and I am trying to solve this issue, but so far unsuccesful.
To access my data on the company’s server (MS TS Environment) I need to establish a L2TP-IPsec VPN connection. I used Mac OS X built in network tool and filled out all the necessary information such as vpn address, shared secret/key, password and accountname. I even double checked the information various times so no spelling errors occurred. After some seconds I receive the message that the L2TP-VPN-server does not respond.
I checked other posts already and I checked the box that sents all traffic via this VPN-connection but without any results. For a moment I doubted that the cause of this issue might be my home-network: MBA <-> Timecapsule <-> Thomson TG789 … however when I make a L2TP VPN connection using a Windows XP or Vista pc this can be done without problems (using the same network structure) so I guess it is a mac-related problem either with my MBA (Mac OSX) or with the companies servers…
I found out that using the console.app can provide me with some more information about the connection process:
- L2TP connecting to server
- IPSec connection started
- IKE Packet: transmit success.
- IKE Packet: receive success.
After a couple of attemps from the 6th message it suddenly shows:
- IKE Packet: receive failed.
- IKE Packet: transmit success.
- IKE Packet: receive failed.
-IKEv1 Phase1: maximum retransmits.
-IKE Packets Receive Failure-Rate Statistic.
And this finally results in ' IPSec connection failed'
Does anyone has an idea of what the problem might be (e.g. the settings of the MAC or the settings of the companies VPN or ???) and maybe a solution for this problem?
Many thanks from a newbie but satisfied Mac-user!

Hi, I have the same problem with the establishing VPN connection using L2TP without IPsec.

Nokia C7 - Problem with VPN Connection over WLAN

Hello,
today I installed Nokia VPN Client 44.01(5) for Belle.
Before this update I used the following configuration: I set two SIP-profiles up and for each profile a own VPN-connection. One for connecting over radio and one for connecting over WLAN or hotspots.
So over all I had three kinds of connections or connection groups to choose: "Internet" with the radio and home wlan connections, "Intranet" for the VPN-connection over radio and "Intranet over WLAN" for VPN-connections over other WLANs.
The advantage of this configuration was that I could use the SIP-profile depending on my location and the phone had not to use the "standard" VPN-connection ("Intranet") over radio.
Now after the update I have the problem that I can't connect to my VPN over WLAN at all. Not with the SIP profile and not manually over the internet browser. There is always the notification "Connection Problem".
I tried also to put the "VPN over WLAN access point" from the "Intranet over WLAN"-group to the "Intranet"-group and gave it the first priority, but that doesn't helped too.
Does someone of you had or have the same kind of problem or otherwise has any clue about that?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance! I hope that I described my problem clearly.
Greetings

testing with the faceplate removed and into the master socket witha brand new filters result's below . I tried the quiet line test and it seems silent so no issues there. Can anyone see an issue, I've posted the noise results etc as well with the faceplate removed. (using a butter knife cause i'm just out of bed and tools are in the garage!)

PIX 515e VPN Host Connectivity Problem

I am having an issue with a VPN connection that I have.. I have a VPN set up to allow all hosts in a /24 subnet to work across from a single host on my side. From the host on my side, I am able to ping to and access some of the hosts on the other side. I have however, one host that is not allowing me to ping to it. We have verified firewall on the far end is allowing all but I can't make any kind of connection. We have verified that the machine on the far end is pingable and accessible from other networks. It is almost like the host on my side doesn't even try to connect across the tunnel. I have verified in my logs that when I do a ping from my host, it shows it building and tearing down a connection on the firewall for NAT so I know that traffic is at least getting to the firewall but it looks like it is not getting any farther. Has anyone seen any strange behavior like this before? I know that ACLs and such are correct on both ends due to the tunnel coming up when I try to access another host. The tunnel doesn't come up though when I try to ping the problem machine.
Thanks,
Brandon

Also, we have tested from the far end of the tunnel and when I attemp a ping to the problem machine, they don't see any traffic hitting thier VPN endpoint. They do however see traffic to all the other hosts that I attemp to access on thier network.
