The remote server did not respond to a connection attempt

I have two Exchange 2003 servers: Old and New. Emails from the new server can go out however, users on the new server cannot receive emails from the old or the internet.
I get the following error:'....remote server did not respond to a connection attempt....'
All emails are stuck in newserver.domain.com.

Hi KimaniBob,
Since Exchange 2003 is a very old Exchange version, we have not supported for Exchange 2003. It is recommended to upgrade your Exchange server to Exchange 2010. Your understanding will be appreciated.

We've encountered the following issues: The remote server is not responding in a proper manner

I have never downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud/Suite/Photoshop basically anything for myself before and have just bought the Creative suite (£15.88/month) and am trying to install it to my computer (Windows 8). I have downloaded the Creative Cloud Set-Up but am unable to get any further than this. When I click on the download, it looks like it is going to download (Adobe Installer, Downloading Creative Cloud desktop and a loading bar) but then it tells me it has encountered the following issues: The remote server is not responding in a proper manner.
Now, I have been looking online for a solution and I saw something about changing an OOBE file in Program Files x86>Common Files>Adobe and at first there was no OOBE file so after more looking I thought I might have to download the Adobe Application Manager, which I did, but that doesn't work either, it just says unable to Reach Adobe servers, check internet connectivity (don't think there is anything wrong with this, I've not had any ther problems with internet connectivity) and firewall settings (i disabled the firewalls).
So I really have no idea what to do, the forums and help sites are confusing and none of the suggestions appear to work?!
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

HI Jneilon,
Try folowing the kb article : Error "Remote server is not responding" | Install and confirm if its working fine or not .
If you are behind a corporate network with network restrictions ? If yes, You might want to connect with your IT department and request them to white list the entries for Adobe as mentioned in the article : Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager

Developer Studio:Exception:The message server did not respond within 60 sec

Folks,
I am getting this error in Developer Studio ( J2EE Engine Preference) , Can anyone please tell me what is the issue.
Exception: The message server did not respond within 60 sec.Please check if the message server is running and if the socket connection has been established
Thanks,
Manish

If the system information page is showing 3900, you should use 3900 in your studio settings.
39xx is the new default for 2004s. It was 36xx with 2004. And xx is the instance number.

J2ee connection error, "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec"

Hi,
I am facing the error "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec. Please check if the message server is running.." when connecting to J2ee through NWDS.
I am able to reach the index page via http://<ip address>:53500/index.html but yet unable to reach through NWDS.
I have tried various combinations of host and port names like:
Message Server Host : <ip address>, <host name>
Message Server Port : 3636, 3936
but still no luck.
I've also cross checked the value of message server port by navigating to http://<IP address>:53500/monitoring/SystemInfo too, it is 3636.
The telnet test (telnet <ip address> <port Number>) draws a blank window.
I know this problem has been posted again and again, but then I am unable to understand what is the solution to this.
Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?
Note: [link 1|Unable to Connect to the J2EE Server from Netweaver Developer Studio; & [link 2|Developer Studio:Exception:The message server did not respond within 60 sec; are already checked.

Hi Robin,
Although I still haven't received any info from my colleagues regarding the central instance..
Just a quick query, if we have NW04 we use 36** and if it is NW04S then we use 39** , is this the only difference for message server port?
If that is the case, as I mentioned earlier, I have tried both, and one gave me N/A(3936) while the other gave me 'message server did not respond' error(3636).
I have the message server host name & port , Enqueue Server Host name & Port and SDM PID and Port details with me..
Can this be anyway useful in establishing a connection?
Waiting for your inputs...
Best Regards,
Vinay

Exception:The messege server did not respond within 60 sec.

When I am deploying my application it is aborted and displaying the Error as
'Deployment exception : Cannot determine sdm host (is empty). Please configure your engine/sdm correctly !'
In Preferences >> SAP J2EE Engine I have specified a messege server host and its port.
When I go to the Perspective J2EE Engine there I can see an error i.e.
'Exception:The messege server did not respond within 60 sec.Please check if the messege server is running and if the socket connection is established'
How to resolve this?

Hi,
I think the connection data is somehow not right.
What is your message server host and port being configured?
I think the default message server port is 3601

We have high security at the company so I'm wondering if there is an issue with the firewall settings not letting adobe in. The progress bar when trying to run CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe only gets to about ten percent of the way before this error appears.
I've tried the help desk chat and was asked to change the folder name C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBEOLD - this had no effect. I acctually get a registration error now when opening my CS6 apps. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

New-SPWOPIBinding Failing with "The server did not respond"

I am currently attempting to create a binding between my SharePoint environment and our Office Web Apps server.
I am able to connect to the Office Web Apps server when I allow HTTP connections (on both the Web Apps Server and the SharePoint server) and create the binding using the -AllowHTTP command but am unable to connect to the server when trying over HTTPS.
I have created a DigiCert UCC certificate for the Office Web Apps server that uses the common name of the DNS CNAME entry for the Office Web Apps server (owas.contoso.com) and includes the FQDN of the server in the SAN (saowas.contoso.local).
I can ping the Office Web Apps server from the SharePoint server and can hit https://owas.contoso.com/hosting/discovery over HTTPS from the SharePoint server, and have disabled the firewalls on both servers.
When I attempt to run New-SPWOPIBinding -Servername "owas.contoso.com"
on the SharePoint server it quickly gives me the WARNING: The server did not respond. Trying again (attempt 1 of 5)
errors.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can check the ULS logs, found in the 15 hive, by default:
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
I would recommend a log viewer though. There are several out there (I use the first one):

IVPN starts, but "the pptp-vpn server did not respond. Try reconnecting."

Hi. I am new to VPN, and I just got the software iVPN from Macserve, and the server starts successfully, using either PPTP or L2TP:
But the connections from my network do not connect. Every time I click on "connect" for either network connection, I get the error "the pptp-vpn server did not respond. Try reconnecting."
I set up both connections in my Network Preferences according to the support page (http://macserve.org.uk/support/ivpn/):
My Airport Express configurations have never given me any problems with my home network:
And I think that I forwarded the ports properly (even though my firewall is not activated):
What am I doing wrong?

The Apple routers can be a problem on vpn passthrough.
Ports that are required for vpn are more complicated ..
See earlier post.. eg How do I set up L2TP VPN?
Ports for PPTP which you have opened manually.. are not valid for L2TP.. so you need several more ports opened.
The problematic ones are GRE and ESP which are protocols not ports.
I think you can pretty well assume the apple router running anything that has BTMM in it won't work.. since it will need the port 500 for itself.
On the old express try going back to 7.6.1 firmware.. I have to say I don't use the express.. lots of extreme and TC.. so their firmware issues are slightly different so firmware versions for the express are somewhat different.
Try not to use both port forwards (mapping if you must).. and DMZ.. they can fight each other.. if DMZ doesn't work it is better to turn it right off and forward all the required ports.
Let me recommend a test.
Plug your cable modem directly into the computer running the VPN.. so you have no NAT router in front of it.
Pay attention to the local firewall that apple runs and what ports you will need to open on it to get vpn to work.. this is your best chance to get remote vpn running. If you fail with the public IP on the computer it will certainly fail through NAT.. and generally local firewall will be an issue.
You should of course test that a client in the local lan can connect by the vpn.. it is always worth testing from the easiest configuration to the most complex.
So local lan just as you have now..
Then direct cable connection to the computer.
Then NAT router.. but you can pretty well assume apple routers are going to be problematic because apple want to dally at BTMM using same ports as IPSEC uses for L2TP.
My email is live.. roll your mouse over it and talk to me direct..

OS X Server / VPN /The L2TP-VPN server did not respond...HELP!

I am very new to OS X Server and my goal is to setup DNS & VPN! I would like to have this setup to be able to connect into my apple computer from work or friends house. I am using an Apple Airport Extreme router and im also using the latest version OS X Mountain Lion with OS X Server installed. I have started an account with dyndns website for user host name (using a [email protected] address). I assume this would be used as an alternate way of being able to connect without starting a personal website. I also signed up for another site (no-ip) and I now have a different IP address (not sure if that was necessary). I then followed instructions on youtube (instructional videos by todd for OS X Server Mountain Lion) which seemed to be very easy to understand. But after setting up my VPN on the client side (network setting in system preferences), i tried to connect VPN (L2TP) and i receive this error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator.". When I open Consol in the utilities folder, I am seeing part of the following message below;
racoon[117]: IKE Packet: transmit success. (Phase1 Retransmit).
racoon[117]: IKE Packet: receive failed. (malformed or unexpected cookie).
pppd[490]: IPSec connection failed
Does anyone know what's happening or what I need to do to fix this? Or can someone tell me the basic requirements to setting things up correctly?

Im using Comcast for my ISP and from the wall I have a Motorola Surfboard 6120 cable modem (not sure how to access my setting on the modem). So basically I have my 6120 cable modem connected to the Apple AirportExtreme router and is then wirelessly connected to my macbook pro. im providing screen shots of my apple router settings, OS X Server settings and firewall (which is turned off) settings. Any suggestion on how i should set things up or if you can tell me step by step would be greatly appreciated.

VPN Problems - The L2TP-VPN server did not respond

Okay, so I read quite a few threads about this and can't really figure it out. Would be great if I can get some handholding.
I'm a complete newbie, trying to set up Server for home use. The VPN service seems to be running fine, but I just can't connect from the clients, it just keeps saying "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond". Here is a glimpse at my settings:
- I have opened up all the relevant ports for UDP (500,1701,4500) and TCP (1723). But this is only required for the Server, right?
- I don't have a domain name yet so just using my external IP. This is what I put in under VPN Host name in the Server and Client settings.
- I login with username and password credentials for one of my network users as created in the Server. Format is [email protected] and the password is the same as the login password.
** I seem to get a 'authentication failed' error if I just use my local IP address... Not sure whats happening their, but before that I need to be able to connect to Server with the external IP!
Am I missing something? Why won't my client connect and that too when I'm at home?

To run a public VPN server behind an NAT gateway, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network, and a hostname that is not in the top-level domain "local" (which is reserved for Bonjour.)
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
If your router is an Apple device, select the Network tab in AirPort Utility and click Network Options. In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
Allow incoming IPSec authentication
if it's not already checked, and save the change.
With a third-party router, there may be a similar setting.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.
5. Each client must have an address on a netblock that doesn't overlap the one assigned by the VPN endpoint. For example, if the endpoint assigns addresses in the 10.0.0.0/24 range, and the client has an address on a local network in the 10.0.1.0/24 range, that's OK, but if the local network is 10.0.1.0/16, there will be a conflict. To lessen the chance of such conflicts, it's best to assign addresses in a random sub-block of 10.0.0.0./0 with a 24-bit netmask.
6. "Back to My Mac" on the server is incompatible with the VPN service.
If the server is directly connected to the Internet, see this blog post.

"The L2TP-VPN server did not respond"

I just bought an Airport extreme base station, and installed lion server, and configured it for VPN. I have checked all my settings and even looked using AirPort utility. I have tried connecting to my VPN from 2 different Macs and an iPad, and all yield the same error:"The L2TP-VPN server did not respond". When I look at my vpnd.log it is pretty bare:
2011-08-31 18:27:34 EDT Loading plugin /System/Library/Extensions/L2TP.ppp
2011-08-31 18:27:38 EDT Listening for connections...
it looks like the VPN connection requests aren't making it from the airport to the server. Any ideas

FWIW, my Lion Server VPN issue has been solved...
