Time Capsule - Nortel VPN Client

Has Apple finally addressed the issue(s) with Nortel VPN clients??? I know that this has been an ongoing issue...I lost track of notes...can someone please update me. Thanks!

I tried for about a week to get my Contivity 4_65.09 client to work thru the Time Capsule to no avail. When I called apple, they refused to offer any help. I have not seen any successful updates from anyone. Returned TC on day 14. I really did like it other than this issue, but sadly, not being able to connect to work is a dealbreaker.

  • Time Capsule as VPN client

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if it is possible to configure Time Capsule to act as a VPN client (as it is quite normal for traditional wireless router), such that all the traffic that leaves my home network, exploits this secure connection.
    In other words: I'd like that any device in my network can used the shared VPN. It's the best trade off between security and simplicity.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    There's nothing in AirPort Utility that supports such a configuration, so the answer would appear to be no.

  • Cannot connect to work using Nortel Vpn Client

    Hi Guys,
    I have a linksys router at home and I am unable to connect to work using the Nortel VPN Client, it works intermittently.. sometimes it connects but most of the time it comes back with an error saying " Login Failure: remote host not responding"
    But when i ping the FQDN of my company's vpn box I get a successfull reply,  I did a small test and connected to a random wi-fi connection near my house and after I was connected to that I was able to use my vpn client to connect and connect to work so there has to be something wrong with the linksys router settings I have.
    I tried logging on to the admin page of the router by going to 192.168.1.1 and under the security tab under vpn I enabled all the protocols for thr VPN passthorough but the problem still persists.. any ideas??
    Thanks in advance

    Set the MTU to 1500
    uncheck Filter Internet Request.
    turn off any third party firewall.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n with Nortel VPN client

    Hello,
    Has anyone had any experience using the Airport Extreme 802.11n) with a PC (sorry, I have both a PC and a Mac)running the Nortel VPN client?
    The new router works perfectly with the Mac but I also need to use the VPN on the PC for certain functions in my work. On my previous router (Dlink DIR625), I had to set a dedicated virtual tunnel to port 9550 to solve this issue. I think this might still be true for the Airport Extreme but I don't see how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I had the same problem and an apple apple care tech walked me through it yeterday.
    Call them, they were great.

  • Time Capsule Disk & VPN

    I just purchased a Time Capsule for a home network and backing up using Time Machine. I have a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, and a Windows XP Professional PC that I use for work. All is working beautifully; however, I cannot connect to the Time Capsule's disk from the Windows PC while connected through my corporate VPN. I am using Cisco VPN Client V 4.6.03.0021 and connecting via TCP. When I DISCONNECT from the VPN on the Windows PC I am able to browse the Time Capsule disk just fine. Is this a known issue? Same thing happens with a Bonjour printer connected to a 802.11g Airport Expess. The printer is not visible until I disconnect from the VPN. All software and firmware are up to date as of 3/20/07.

    I'm having the exact same problem and now I'm much less excited about TC now because I have to be behind VPN a lot. Though, I was thinking about a far-less-than-perfect workaround which is to connect to TC directly from my PC using a USB-to-USB cable (while connected to the VPN network), just for occasional file transfer needs. Do you all think it would work? I'll give it a try sometime next week when I return home from my trip. (If you've ever tried before, I'd really appreciate your sharing.)

  • Time Capsule over VPN?

    I have a firewall-to-firewall, on-all-the-time VPN connection to my office, and the ability to hook a Time Capsule up to my office network.
    Can I use the TC to back-up my home computers remotely in this manner (over the VPN connection)?
    I've been looking for a remote back-up option that doesn't include paying a third party.
    Has anyone tried this yet?

    Hi Linc
    Just to be more clear about what I'm hoping to do  - I have a server connected to the time capsule with wired ethernet - the VPN is being handled by the same server.
    If I understand what your saying - even if the server has a share point set, it will only be available for mounting to local (i.e. Bonjour) clients? hence I need something that can extend Bonjour through the VPN tunnel?

  • Time Capsule vs. samba-client (Fedora)

    I've been using a 1GB Time Capsule for various things, including backing up my Linux server using the samba-client package. This had all been working well... until last night's scheduled backup.
    +Note: "Type40" is the name of my Time Capsule (either you get it, or you don't).+
    *mount -t cifs //Type40/root /smb/Type40/root*
    *mount error 13 = Permission denied*
    *Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)*
    After I reset the password (I hadn't changed it myself), the error changed.
    *mount -t cifs //Type40/root /smb/Type40/root*
    *retrying with upper case share name*
    *mount error 6 = No such device or address*
    *Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)*
    I tried a number of variants, and finally found one that worked.
    *mount -t cifs //Type40/Shared /smb/Type40/Shared*
    I still don't know why the original command suddenly stopped working, so now I've modified my backup script to dump its files below /smb/Type40/Shared/Users/root/{servername} instead of what previously worked as /smb/Type40/root/{servername} .
    At least it works again. :-P Here's the software versions involved at this point:
    Mac OS X: 10.5.3
    AirPort Utility: 5.3.2
    Time Capsule Version: 7.3.1
    Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)
    kernel-2.6.20-1.2320.fc5
    samba-client-3.0.24-7.fc5

    I am having exactly the same issue with 7.4.2 on a 500Gb model. Intermittent connectivity and sometimes complete disappearance from the workgroup.

  • Time Capsule / Airport Extreme client mode and alternatives

    I have three PCs on a boat.
    I want to create a wired Ethernet with shared internet access via wifi from a remote, land-based access point. I have no control over the broadband router at the other end (so putting an apple device at the other end is not an option).
    I read here:
    http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=hview&modelid=264
    ... that the Time Capsule supports "client mode", so I bought a TC today with fingers crossed.
    As soon as I configure the TC for client mode, it disappears off the wired Ethernet. In the instructions for the TC, there is a diagram showing the TC operating in what looks like client mode, but without any Ethernet devices attached. My interpretation is that if it does support client mode, it only does so as a wireless network drive and USB hub (ie no wired Ethernet). Correct?
    So, I think my options are:
    1. Plug a wireless gaming adaptor into the WAN port on the TC and use that to connect the TC to the remote broadband connection.
    or
    2. Take the TC back to the shop and get a gigabit router with aftermarket dd-wrt firmware to enable it to run in client mode, and then buy a gigabit NAS.
    Am I talking sense?
    Hopefully,
    R

    Thanks for your reply...
    I am thinking of keeping the Airport Extreme as I have my PS3 and my Xbox 360 Elite connected to it by Ethernet and my Wii connected by Wi-Fi.
    So the Wireless clients are the iMac, iPhones / iPod Touch, Nintendo Wii and my Canon Wi-Fi printer... all of which necessitate the 802.11n (b&g compatible) setting on the AEBS
    I think that means that the Time capsule, Apple TV, Macbook and Airport Express will run on a throttled back 802.11n when ever there is no activity from the other devices... I am not entirely sure how the b&g compatible setting works.
    One of my favourite things about my setup is being able to use the iPhone Remote App to control my Macbook, Apple TV and Airport Express. Sadly, I have to have iTunes running on my computer as Apple Tv won't transmit its content to Airport Express which would be the ideal.
    Time Capsule has now been setup but I want to connect the HDD by USB and then use it as a Network drive, hopefully at 802.11n speeds. I will look into partitioning the Time Capsule but it has almost 300GB of Movies and I don't want to have to start again with all of that...

  • Time Capsule and VPN

    I was wondering if there is a setting or something in the airport utility for Remote Desktop.
    I have a user connecting fine to our work VPN however he can not remote into any of our computers.
    I have this same connection setup fine on four other mac's with no issues. The only differance is he is using the Time Capsule as his wireless router, where everyone else isn't.
    I wasnt sure if there was something to look for.

    Bump -- same problem here. Is the problem with the Time Capsule? We use Watchguard 500 at work, can VPN but can't remote desktop into any of the computers when at my home Time Capsule. Any ideas?

  • Accessing time capsule with osx server and vpn

    i have apple server and a time capsule that i use as harddisk. Now I want to access the time capsule by VPN. I cannot make an accesspoint of my time capsule.
    When I turn off file sharing on the time capsule and turn it on on the server then i cannot access my files locally.

    Sorry, have to disagree.
    I have a time capusle and its in the hfs+ and my vista pc reads it fine.
    You do need to download the airport software for windows from apple downloads. Install that and then, windows can see it fine under networking. Then to map a drive letter, just navigate to your time capsule in windows then right click on the share and give it a drive letter.
    Or you can use the cd that came with your time capsule in your windows pc and it will install the client from there.

  • Time Capsule Does Not Port Forward FTP Ports

    Hey there,
    I recently purchased a Time Capsule, and I found out that while it fixes the NAT-PMP bug found in my previous AirPort Extreme Base Station (Gigabit-N), it introduces a new problem which makes it refuse to forward port 21 properly.
    It seems to me that the Time Capsule has some sort of FTP server built in, and is either enabled but closes connection on client connection, or disabled but still listens for client connection.
    This message is what I get when I connect to my IP via FTP from the WAN side (FTP port forwarded to a local machine with an IP 10.0.0.8):
    421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
    When it is accessed from the LAN of course, I can connect to 10.0.0.8 with no problem. However, what is interesting is if I connect to the Time Capsule via FTP I get this as well:
    421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
    Thus, I am 100% certain that the FTP message I see when I connect from WAN is from the Time Capsule instead of the machine I port forwarded to.
    Apple needs to fix this annoying problem and at the same time fixes some VPN issues I'm having with my Nortel VPN client (4.68). It was all working when I had the AirPort Extreme Base Station.

    I am having a problem establishing an FTP session that is started with my FTP Client (CuteFTP) on my local network and attempting to connect to an FTP Server with one of my hosting providers. My first few attempts used FTPS (Secure FTP) as that is what I typically use when transferring FTP packets over the net. Well, this didn't work so I thought maybe the Time Capsule had a problem inspecting the encrypted packets so I switched to standard clear-text FTP just to see if the Time Capsule handles FTP session management functions correctly. This didn't work either. I'm using PASV FTP and have never had a problem before with my CISCO Router or with another consumer-based NAT router. I don't believe that the Server on the Internet gets the initial request on port 21 as I believe the Time Capsule is not allowing the packet to pass and my FTP Client spits back an error message : "Couldn't access FTP service " "Connection Failed". I have also used "Terminal" and initiated the ftp utility and attempted to connect to the same server and receive the following error message : "421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.". I have attempted to put my computer in the DMZ by using the Default Host feature on the Time Capsule but that resulted in the same errors. I believe that I have tried most of the settings available on the Time Capsule to attempt to get this to work but no luck yet. If the packet is getting through to the server and the response back on the current ephemeral port is not getting through the Time Capsule I'm really hoping the solution is not having to port map all ephemeral ports as this is in the tens of thousands. Has anyone successfully established an FTP Session (Secure or Not) from your local client through the Time Capsule to a Server on the Internet. If so, could you help by providing any Time Capsule settings that were required for this to function properly....Thanks in Advance.
    Note: I have attempted to ftp to several different public ftp servers on the Internet and get the same error results. I have no problems ftping to local serverson my local network.

  • SW Update for Time Capsule?

    I'm now using TC as my router so I'm wondering how it will get its sw updates. Do they come through Software Updates or is there some other method for doing this?

    Thanks, Niel, I see how to do updates but I worry about this part: "If you are updating a Time Capsule, disconnect any clients that may be using the Time Capsule's disk before installing the firmware."
    I know why this is necessary but I worry about remembering to tell my wife's MacBook to turn off TM. Seems that if I do forget her entire backup imagine can be lost. If there's no sw update for, say, a year what can I do to remember this?

  • Airport Express not working with Time Capsule

    I replaced a NetGear wireless router with a new Time Capsule. After some trial and error I got everything that was hanging off the NetGear - 2 x TiVo machines, printer, extra ports for business laptops - working except my "old" Airport Express unit that I had been using to send my iTunes to my stereo tuner. I just cannot get this to connect to the Time Capsule wirelessly no matter what I do. It works just fine when connected wirelessly direct to my iMac but just will not connect to the Time Capsule as a client. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

  • Before Time Capsule Firmware Update Query

    I have just purchased Time Capsule and after a few glitches have set it up to work with my ISP.
    I noted there was a firmware update shown to me when trying to configure although I haven't tried it yet as setting up took me longer than I thought. It's working but I came to the forum to read about the firmware update procedure (think I will wait until I am more confident with the product)
    I would appreciate advice after reading Apple's document on a firmware update "If you are updating a Time Capsule, disconnect any clients that may be using the Time Capsule's disk before installing the firmware."
    I only have my ADSL router modem cable connected to the WAN port (presume clients would mean printers or USB hard drive) or do I disconnect the modem cable after downloading the update before install?
    I would prefer to ask before I try anything as I don't want to loose my connection completely.
    Thanks if anyone can advise on the correct way to do the update although I know some have downgraded again which is why I am very unsure.

    Hi,
    Just leave the WAN port connected. The advice to disconnect any clients is just for the case they are using the TC's harddisk (for saving a document of making a backup to it) because their connection will fail when the TC reboots after you have applied the update. If your're the only one around just proceed.
