VPN and Exchange server blocks internet access

i had some difficulty configuring Entourage to connect to an Exchange server after establishing a VPN. When the VPN was up, but the Entourage was not working, I could use Safari or any other web access without problems. After getting the Entourage account running, it was populating the folders for what seemed like hours, so i wanted to do other things while waiting. Safari and AOL would not connect. Apparently Microsoft has figured out another way to mess with you on a Mac. Anyone had this problem?

It turns out that it's the VPN that is blocking web access. The first time I configured it a couple of months ago, it connected, and I could do whatever I wanted. When I tried to use the VPN the other day, all my settings had been erased for some reason and I had to reconfigure. It connected, I got into Entourage, used it, but when I tried to go to a web site Safari wouldn't connect. I closed Entourage, no dice. Today I connected without going into Entourage and Safari wouldn't connect. Without the VPN, Safari behaves itself. I have a PC upstairs with the same VPN and it allows use of your browser.
I connected to a different VPN host and still no browser on the Mac. Can not figure out what has happened.

SBS Server 2003 and Exchange Server - need to access but only have HDD

Hi,
I have been redirected here from a Microsoft Community Forum. I am reasonably conversant with windows systems but am not a computer professional, just trying to see if I can solve a problem without spending a great deal of cash at this stage as
our office has been completely flooded out and we are still struggling to regroup....Here is the original question.
A couple of years ago our sever died completely, we kept the HDD's, but unfortunately not the CD's with the software on or the software keys. So I have now 2HDD's, the original boot partition and one with data on. both clean and fully working and
connected now to an old desktop. I can see everything fine, but I cannot boot from the original boot drive (I have tried simply disconnecting the desktop's boot drive and the windows logo shows for 1 second an d then chucks me back to the initial (DOS?) load.
The point is that I need to boot into SBS2003 with the exchange server installed in order to access a handful of old emails which have become extremely important, and also to run an old version of Filemaker server which will not run on any newer O.S.
I have tried, incidentally, a converter for the exchange files and I can see the directories but I think that unless I pay $xxx for something, which I cannot afford now, then I will not get the emails and all attachments back.
So my question is this - is there anyway I can use the original boot disk in a new hardware environment to restore both sbs 200 and exchange to working condition? I have paid vast sums for both so I do feel that I should be able to use them still!
Many thanks
Gor

Hello
tip:
get one pc with hyper-v or VMware. with enough memory.
install 2003 OS with sp2
run dcpromo add same domain name wich is old.
install exchange 2003 /with same ORG name / and install exch 2003 sp2
open exch console and Enabling the database to be overwritten on mailbox database
dismount database, rename database, and copy old database to new and mont database
run clean mailbox
create new user without mailbox.
select disconect mailbox and connect to new user.
sorry my english

DEPLOY EXCHANGE SERVER ON INTERNET

I want to deploy my organisation exchange server on internet for accessing owa using web.what is the method to do that?please help me.

Hi,
To publish OWA on internet you need to setup a TMG or UAG or ARR and configure the rule on TMG for OWA publishing. You can find configuration steps to publish OWA using TMG on below URL. Thanks.

WRT54Gv3 Looses/Blocks Internet Access

After installing version 4.21.1 of the Linksys frimware on my router WRT54Gv3 it will loose and/or block access to the internet. It will do it at random times usually weeks apart. All the lights on the router look normal, my modem still shows a connection to the router. My computers will connect to the router wired or wireless and I can also login to the config page of the router. Visually everything looks fine. Power cycling the modem and router does not fix the problem. I have to perform a factory reset on the router before it will work again. Is anyone having this problem with v4 or below of the WRT54G router after installing 4.21.1 of the linksys firmware? My friends router does the same thing and he has v4. I have v3.
Thanks

Well my router has always had the default IP address.
I also noticed that when the internet is being block that i can use the diagnostic tab and get a response using ping and perform trace routes.
I can also release and renew my IP info from Comcast's DHCP Server.
I've never had a signal issue with the router. I'm always able to connect to it using a wireless or wired connection. I connect successfully to the router it's that it blocks access to the internet to all the connected computers.
I'm at a loss and so it seems with Linksys tech support. I had a chat with them and they made me do a factory reset then update the firmware and then perform a factory reset again. They felt that the firmware may have been somehow damaged when I previously updated the router. I feel like my router will start blocking internet access again by the end of the month. If not I'll let you know if resetting, flashing, and resetting thing worked.

VLAN and Exchange server

Hi everyone,
We need help on the configuration of our Exchange server and VLAN.
Since I'm a beginner in VLAN configurations.
We are using Cisco SG300 switch and Exchange server.
We have 2 NICs on our server, with 1 having a static Public(internet) IP for internet which is directly connected to our ISP modem(complete with IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS), the other NIC has a static Local(intranet) IP for local network(with IP Address and Subnet Mask only).
Our Problem is we cannot add an Default Gateway on the 2nd NIC(intranet) because it says conflict with the gateway specified on the other NIC.
We want to add a Default Gateway on the 2nd NIC(intranet) to be become accessible from other VLANs.
How can the server be accessible to other different VLANs on our network?
What will be the best approach on this?
Thanks in advance.
J

You should add routes to your windows routing table.
So if your server is in VLAN 10.10.10.0/24 and has the IP of 10.10.10.2 and your router is 10.10.10.1 then you can add routes to all your VLANs by adding the networks and routing them through 10.10.10.1.
For example, in your command prompt on Windows you would type:
route -p ADD 10.10.11.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
route -p ADD 10.10.12.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
route -p ADD 10.10.13.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
That would make your computer access all the internal VLANs as well as make it reachable from those VLANs.

Blocking internet access in a virtual windows xp box

Is there a way to block internet access when I have a virtual windows xp box within Windows 7?
The reason, is I just want to run one application and restrict internet access as I some users are restricted from the internet.
Thanks
John

Hi, Juke.
I'm afraid I'm a dummy, and don't know how to do this. I'm sure as April 8 approaches, a lot of people with important DOS or XP apps will be wanting to insulate their XP VM from potential hacking while still running programs locally.
Thanks -- Dave K.

WRT1900AC does not block internet access in Parental Control

Hi,My router does not block internet access on my other PC. I tryed "Always" tryed specific addresses, tryed IP addresses and everything tech support suggested. I even replaced the router at their advise. Nothing helped. I realize that the problem is not the router but probably my home network configuration, but I can't figure out what is it. To my defence, so couldn't they Does anybody have or had such a problem?Thank you

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

HDTV blocks Internet access?

Hello all,
When my 2009 Mac mini is connected to an Apple LED display, I can connect to the Internet through my Airport Express.
But when I connect the same Mac mini to a Panasonic HDTV (via HDMI), I can't get online!
(If I bypass Airport Express with a direct Ethernet connection between the cable modem and the Mac mini, Internet access is A-OK.)
Has anybody else had this problem?
Any help would be much-o appreciated!
Mike

Try AirRadar, on the net free trial, and see what your signal strength is relative to the tv. Not sure that will prove useful but may be the start of answering your question.
Recently learned about signal to noise ratios. Found in AirPort utility-Manual Setup-Advanced-Logs and Statistics.

HT1349 I have purchased a new PC and am being blocked from accessing my itunes account why ???

I have purchased a new PC and am being blocked from accessing my itunes account why???

You are being blocked how ?
If you mean that your library isn't showing then it won't automatically appear on it. You can authorise your iTunes account on it via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option (with iTunes 11 pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear). You will then need to either download your content onto it (what you can re-download will show under Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage), or copy if from your old computer or your backup.
If you are referring to something else ... ?

Deploying Windows Server 2012 and Exchange Server 2013

Hi All,
Our Clinet is planning to implement Exchange Server 2013 as an email solution. There is no Active Directory Domain exists in the environment. So, we have planned to configure a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard as a Domain Controller and Exchange
Server 2013 Standard would be installed on another Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
The setup would be for 250 users. Please guide me about the Cost of OS + Exchnage and CAL for 250 Users.
Warm Regards,
Prosenjit Sen
Thanks & Regards, Prosenjit Sen.

Another option would be to consider signing up for Office 365 instead of setting up the hardware and software for such a small number of users. It will take a long time for the cost of the hardware, maintenance, and support to be less costly than Office
365, if it would ever be less expensive. There is a lot of maintenance required for Exchange, so unless your client already has someone experienced in configuring and maintaining Exchange, there is a lot of expense in bringing someone up to speed to
perform those functions capably.
Just a suggestion. I do not work for Microsoft and I have no financial incentive to propose an Office 365 environment. I just know that if I were running my own business, I would have to be convinced that my business required its own internal
mail system when there are so many fully functional and capable mail systems available via subscription.

Upgrading from SBS 2008 and Exchange Server 2007 and Adding Modest Failover Protection

I haven't seen anyone describe this scenario, so maybe it can't be done, but it seems it should work. Can someone either confirm this is viable or set me straight and tell me it's not wise (and if not, why not).
I currently have SBS 2008 (2008 Server + Exchange Server 2007 + some other components). I use redirected folders so all my user data is stored primarily on the server, and then sync'd with their local harddrives for roaming use and as an additional
backup precaution. I want to upgrade to a modern version of Exchange (don't care too much about the underlying server OS, but seems like a good time to upgrade everything). I also want to improve the reliability for rapid recovery in the event of a system
failure. I have always felt nervous with SBS because it only runs on a single server.
My plan is:
Install Windows Server 2012 Standard on a new server machine
Join that new server to the existing SBS domain and sync the users, etc.
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the new 2012 Server
Migrate the existing Exchange data and account info to the new server
Demote the SBS Server and promote the new server to primary DC
Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC
Set up DFS Replication and keep all my user data folders between the two servers (so if one server fails, the other can take over, just not automatically like with a cluster)
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the reformatted 2012 Server box (so second instance on the domain) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG (so if either computer crashes, the other can take over for both Exchange Server and file
services)
Wouldn't that give me a complete slow-response failover system without the need for setting up a cluster (I know a cluster would provide instant failover protection, but I don't need that kind of speed - a manual switchover in the rare event of a server
failure is acceptable for us)? I could do this using cheap hardware for each server, because unless both servers fail at the same time, clients can point to the other server. And because it's not a formal cluster, I don't need to buy anything for a shared
SAN. This seems like such an obvious more cost-effective solution for a small network, I don't understand why this isn't a common approach, which makes me wonder if there is some reason it won't work.
Any suggestions or feedback? Are Redirected Folders still recommended for users on a Server 2012-based domain?
Thanks,
Colin
Colin

Ed, thanks again for your help. OK, so here's my updated plan (I realize I should probably check on some of these pieces on the Server group, instead of this Exchange group).
Constraints/objectives:
None of the machines are truly server grade hardware, but only 5 people on the network, so performance is generally not an issue, unless a given server is just pegged on CPU or HD due to its own internal maintenance tasks and can't respond to user requests.
Haven't seen any problems, since upgrading server from 4GB RAM to 8GB a few years ago.
Not going to buy any new hardware at this time, but do have several unused consumer-grade computers I can deploy as wimpy or moderate servers.
Main issue is to limit repair time in the event of a system failure (instant failover is not required, but want to be able to restore network functions within less than 24 hours in the event of a hardware failure) and minimize time spent on IT
maintenance.
Because of light IT maintenance (not anyone's primary job and we're too small to justify a dedicated IT person or to pay for outside help), almost every touch takes me research and time to re-learn what I haven't done in weeks, months, or years -- so also
want to keep all IT tasks as simple as possible.
We philosophically want to invest now for the next 5 years and avoid ongoing cloud fees (so zero interest in Windows Server Essentials with Exchange Online)
A little nervous about using VM's, just because I never have before, but I do respect that's probably the right way to do many of these things...
Currently I have SBS 2008 (Windows Server 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2007, WSUS 3, all with latest SP's, also includes SharePoint and other stuff, but I don't really care about most of it) on a single 8GB consumer grade system, which functions as a file
server and Exchange server. We use Redirected Folders and Offline files for all users, which works great for us and provides additional file redundancy (if server goes down, all of each user's files are also on their own machine and they can even continue
to work just fine w/o the server, losing only ability to send and receive e-mail). It has been sufficient, but I want to upgrade our version of Exchange and I am nervous that if that current one server fails, it would take me a long time to restore everything
from backup, easily many days, especially if I need to buy any replacement hardware. It is RAID1, so a single drive failure is easy to handle, but that's the only hardware redundancy for the current server.
New Plan:
Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a new modest machine (16GBR RAM, Core i7, 1TB RAID1 (may upgrade to 3 or 4 TB), 256 GB SSD boot drive, this had been my old personal computer)
Join that new server to the existing SBS domain (2008 R2/Exchange 2007), make it a DC, sync the users, etc.
Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a wimpy computer (4GB RAM Core i3 processor), leave it as a member server
Install Exchange Server 2013 on the wimpy new 2012 R2 Server (and nothing else, this will be dedicated to Exchange to make the most of such a wimpy machine)
Migrate the existing Exchange data from the old SBS Exchange 2007 server and account info to the new server
(or should I just create new accounts and copy the data from the user end through Outlook -- is that safer and cleaner than attempting any kind of server-level Exchange data migration?)
Demote the old SBS Server and promote the new 16GB server to primary DC. Now it's OK to take the old SBS server off the network.
Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 R2 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC (and possibly DCPROMO it to be the main server)
Install Exchange Server 2013 in a VM on the reformatted 2012 R2 Server box (so second instance on the domain for Exchange redundancy) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG OR set up another physical wimpy member server and install
it there. In any case, do NOT install Exchange directly on either DC.
Set up DFS Replication or a Failover Cluster (still need to research this, but I had planned on DFS, thinking Cluster required shared drive, but Ed corrected me on this) between the two DC's for redirected files and keep all my user data folders between
the two servers. We don't need automatic failover, like with a cluster, a manual switch would be acceptable, but if no additional cost or risk to clustering the two DC's, then the auto-failover protection that provides would be better than DFS.
I think this incorporates all of your points, Ed. Does this sound right now? What's your advice on #5 (how to best migrate user data)?
Thanks so much for all your help,
Colin
