VPN connect via menu extra fails, but works via prefpane - anybody else?

Is anybody out there with the same symptom, getting an error message when trying to establish a VPN connection via VPN menu extra but being able to connect properly via networking prefpane? Would be interesting to know if this could be a bug worth sending a report to Apple...
PB G4, Mac OS X 10.5.5

Tim, you made it. Another example for that famous tricky problems after OS migration. I had the VPN prefs already on Mac OS X 10.4 and trusted them on Mac OS X 10.5 after their automatic
adoption too...
Thx mate!

HT1937 Hi my email is not working it says" Cannot gel mail...The connection to the server failed" but my network is working ok is the only application failing...how can I solve the problem?

Hi, my mail applicatin is not working properly. It says cannot get main...the connection to the server failed but everything else is working ok. How can I solve this problem?

The connectivity test indicated that there was a problem with the user's ActiveSync folder, typically fixed by checking the box "Allow inheritable permissions ...".
Since it already was checked and even by removing the inherited permissions and then re-inheriting them didn't do the trick, I ended up just deleting the whole thing and then made a new duplicate account and blank mailbox. That was pretty drastic
but it fixed the problem. After restoring his mailbox contents from backup, the user is now a happy camper.
The connectivity test tool was helpful because the external URL was blank so I filled in the URL. But ActiveSync was working fine for everybody without the URL before although I don't know why it did work without it.
The other funny thing is on one of my iPads I am able to synch my mailbox and also the user's mailbox but on another iPad it just wouldn't synchronize when it worked before I added the external URL. The iPads have the same OS version so I
just don't understand it. Oh well.
Thanks for your help. That was a good tip!

RasClient:dialed a connection named "VPN Connection Name " which has failed. The error code returned on failure is 789 on windows 8.1

Hello,
i am trying to connect to my corporation VPN Server " ISA 2006" using windows 8.1 client built in VPN, but its returned the following error:
Event ID 20227: dialed a connection named "VPN connection Name" which has failed. The error code returned on failure is 789.
VPN connection is working fine with windows XP and windows 7 with no issue , this error is only appear when try to connect to using windows 8 client machine.
this error is shows only on windows 8.1 client , same procedures used to enroll the certificate from internal CA " IPsec Type" is followed .
below are the ISA server specifications:
VPN Server : ISA 2006.
windows Server version 2003.
appreciate your quick help and reply .
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
i would like to add another point for this case, that when we are trying to enroll a certificate from internal CA web enrollment directly using windows 8 " internet explorer 11" , its install a certificate without Digital
Signature and non-repudiation in key usage property, then when try to connect , its will give the above error 789 ..
when try to enroll a certificate into windows 7 " internet explorer 10" and then export and import this certificate into windows 8.1 machine "with the name of
windows 8.1 machine" into windows 8.1 machine, the VPN is working normally and without issue.
The properties of the Certificate are difference between windows 7 machine and windows 8 machine is key usage missing the Digital Signature and non-repudiation properties when enroll
from windows 8.1 " internet explorer 11", this is in fact because of
we don't have an option for key usage " both" when subment a certificate on web enrollment page from windows 8 machine ,, the only option available is exchange "
no signature and both option available "
i believe that there is something wrong when using windows 8.1 internet explorer 11 so its gave a certificate with wrong key usage property .
appreciate your quick help in this .
thanks

AnyConnect on Apple iOS - VPN-Connect via HTTP-Proxy

Hi,
is it possible, that the AnyConnect-Client for Apple iOS (i.e. iPAD) automatically uses the configured HTTP-Proxy in the WLAN properties for the establishment of the VPN-Connection (via SSL/TLS)?
I've tested it, but it does not work. In the documentation is stated, that VPN establishment via HTTP-Proxy works only in Windows (AnyConnect uses the IE Proxy settings to connect to the ASA for VPN establishment).
Thanks

As per w2k3 sniffer trace, 2851 requesting with user=vpnfamily and encrypted password. The password "Password1" which is VPN group's key sending to IAS?
->I have "vpnfamily" with password "Password1" but no luck
Event log shows "Fully-Qualified-User-Name = INFRA\vpnfamily". INFRA is AD NetBIOS name. 2851 router's domain name is "family.com"
->Is this something wrong?

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI. I have also been receiving 'Cannot send mail, an error occurred while delivering this message.

Hmm, that's odd JeanEB. The error message referts to the connection to your email server not to cellular data or connection to wi-fi. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Select your account and type in your password again. If this doesn't resolve it, delete/re-add the email account.

How is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order!

how is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order! The front of the bottom is hot while the rest if mildly warm. I don't know if its going to have a problem in the future. I wiped off as much as I could with a cloth and left it open and upside down for 10-15 minutes. Any idea if I am in the clear?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Do not wait.

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

For a few users, since some point in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there has been an occasional problem when trying to wake from sleep if you have Bluetooth enabled for the keyboard, Magic Mouse, Trackpad, etc.
The solution for me that worked 100% of the time was: System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.
For me, the problem ran intermittently through 10.6.something, all of 10.7 and now, finally, seems to be resolved in 10.8.2.

VPN connection created with CMAK fails to update routing table on Windows 8.1 with error 8000ffff

When my clients connect their CMAK-created VPN, it fails to run the script to set their routing table with the following error:
Custom script (to update your routing table) failed (8000ffff)
My objective is to create a VPN connection with split tunneling - does not use the VPN connection as the client's default gateway.
All my clients are on Windows 8.1 64-bit, and are logged in with Administrative privileges
My VPN Clients are on 10.242.2.0/24, my internal network is on 10.172.16.0/24
I want only traffic for 10.172.16.0 to go via the VPN. Everything else should go via the client's internet connection
My Connection Manager Administration Kit profile, was created on Windows 2012 R2 CMAK with the following settings:
"Make this connection the client's default gateway" is UNticked on the IPv4 tab.
Define a routing table update is specified with a text file containing:
+++ Start of txt file +++
REMOVE_GATEWAY
add 10.172.16.0 mask 255.255.255.0 default metric default if default
+++ End of txt file +++
The txt file is saved in DOS/Windows format (not Unicode or UTF-8 which I've read causes problems)
I've tried everything in lower and upper case in the txt file after reading that the file might be case sensitive
The following appears on the client with logging enabled:

Where can I find out what error codes 8000ffff or -2147418113 mean?

That was it. Thanks, Steven
"By default, the dial-up entry and the VPN entry have Make this connection the default gateway selected.
Leave this default in place, and remove any gateways by using the REMOVE_GATEWAY command in the routing table update file itself."
It seems counter-intuitive to leave
Make this connection the default gateway selected, when I specifically don't want that behaviour, but leaving it selected and using REMOVE_GATEWAY works for me.

NETWORK marked [FAIL] but works...

Hi everyone,
Recently, during boot, network is marked as failed but everyhting works properly... This only happens with wireless connection (ipw2100), ethernet is marked [DONE] and works too
Thanks in advance for any advice...
Cheers

I'm not sure if I completely understand your post, but if you have multiple network interfaces and one fails, then network shows fail even if others were successful. There's a bug report filed about it, but it's been quite a while without being fixed...
And if that doesn't answer your question then ignore me.

10.4.3 - iChat Menu Extra sounds not working

Now that I've upgraded the OS to 10.4.3, I've noticed that if I sign on to AIM and/or Bonjour through the iChat menu extra that the default sign-on sounds are no longer working.
I've got all available OS updates installed, and for that matter the 10.4.3 update should be the only one that affects iChat to date.
I upgraded to 10.4.3 via the Combo Updater, not through Software Update.app.
I've been able to confirm this on a PowerMac G4 933MHz running 10.4.3, and with a friend's 12" PowerBook G4 running 10.4.3 as well.
Has anyone else experienced this so far?

Please do not tell me I am not understanding - I have asked a question about a single feature that existed before 10.4.3; not video, not the concepts behind menu extras, and not the comparison between the menu extra and the full application.
I do believe it's fairly obvious to see that the menu extra is limited in what it does. However it is not a limited "version" of iChat, which yes, you even said that in your above post.
If you are unable to show proof that this, a change, is "by design" then please, don't say that. What you have said is of opinion until otherwise proven differently. And by differently I do mean by cold, hard documentation by Apple.
Meanwhile, I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing this.

EA3500 drops VPN connections via wireless

I don't have problems with the computer on other wireless connections with using VPN, so its not the laptop. If I am connecting just to the internet and not trying to connect to the VPN i don't have any issues. If I connect a CAT5 cable directly to the laptop I don't have any issues. If I try to connect via the wireless the VPN will connect and then drop, usually every 30 to 60 seconds. I have looked at the settings and can't see any that would make a difference. Any suggestions on what might be happening and what I need to change on the settings?
thanks

Maybe the wireless connection is not enough to handle wireless VPN connection. Try adjusting the wireless settings to improve the signal. Change the wireless channel under the 2.4 GHz to 6, 9, 11, and 1. And use 161 or 157 for the 5 GHz band.

When I attempt the same deployment using WLST, the deployment 'appears' to work and the script shows no sign of error BUT the application does NOT show up at all in the admin console. I'm using the same authentication information in both scenarios.

Is it possible to deploy the application unzipped?

Hi Sebastian,
You need to be connected to master database when executing GRANT VIEW SERVER. Try the following it will work:
USE [master]
GO
GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO [Domain\User]

Time Capsule won't connect to internet at home but works at Apple Store. Internet connection is fine through ethernet - any ideas?

A few days ago my Time Capsule stopped connecting to the internet at home. My internet connection is fine when I connect directly via ethernet. However when I plug the ethernet into the Time Capsule, it doesn't progress past the solid amber light. Doing a hard reset doesn't do anything. I took it to the Genius Bar two seperate times, and both times they were able to get it working there, but when I get it home it won't work. Any ideas of what the problem might be?

Try resetting your broadband modem. Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments. If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes. Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one. In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router. If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.
