VPN connection from E61i

I would like to know how to connect to my corporate network using VPN capabilities of E61i.
MY corporate network is on cisco platform with ASA firewall serving as VPN concentrator.

  • Need to accept VPN connections from "Any"

    I had previously been using two WRV54G wireless routers to establish a site to site VPN connection between a branch office and our corporate Headquarters. Because of the limited DHCP scope configuration options, I decided to "upgrade" to the WRVS4400N devices. I have now been able to establish the VPN again between the two new boxes but I've now gotten to the point where I would like to add an additional remote site. In the WRV54G, it was easy to configure the one at HQ to accept connections from "any" but this new router does not seem to be as simple.
    Oh yeah, I am running firmware version 1.1.03 on both routers.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can set up the HQ router to accept VPN connections from "any"?
    Thanks! I appreciate the help.

    And this is the VPN log on the HQ router:

  • VPN Connectivity from Mac to Windows Server

    I have been using Windows OS all my life, now I recently bought a new Mac machine, and it my first time using Mac OSX Lepord, so I don't no much, I tried to connect my Mac to a VPN - windows using the mac VPN Connectivity provided which uses tunneling Protocol, I am successful in establishing connectivity to windows server, but the problem is, it still uses ip address assigned by the router while rowsing, and not the ip address of the VPN machine while browsing sites, the reason I use VPN connectivity is to bypass ISP who blocks most of the useful sites. I tried to set proxy setting in my safari browser, but failed and also automatic proxy does not work, can someone hep me and tell me how to achieve what I am trying to achieve using MAc.

    exero –
    Though this will be a pain it will help trace down the problem.
    Since you are attempting to VPN to the SBS what happens if you connect the Mac locally dose RDP connection map the drives and can you map to the SBS shares directly?
    What happens if you try connecting with a PC via the VPN?
    Also (though risky) I would open all the ports on your firewall that point to the SBS and try connecting to the VPN again with Mac and see what happens. (Don’t forget to close them back).
    Below are two links that may provide some additional information. The first is from Microsoft and list all of the ports used by MS products. The second one is a public post that focuses on SBS 2003.

  • Vpn connection from administration win server 2012 r2

    hello every one i have win server 2012 for the connection vpn i need make setting as like subnetwork get access to the from main office to the district office?

    Hi,
    Can you ping normally to other server from your server 2012 R2?
    Does user has enough permission for remoting?
    Can you telnet port 3389 and see whether RDP port is opened?
    Please try to perform remote desktop with “mstsc /admin” switch and check the result. Addition try to perform the remote session with IP address specified for that server. Also you can try PowerShell command to enable remote desktop.
    set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0 
    Hope it helps!

  • VPN connection from Mac at home to pc network at work

    Hope someone can help as I'm lost on this..... Was using a pc laptop and had basic settings to connect to my work network: IP address of the VPN concentrator (Cisco 3000), username and a password.
    Have now upgraded (at least I thought it was an upgrade!?) to MacBookPro 2.6 using 10.4.11 and tried to connect using Mac VPN with no success so tried IPSecuritas which seems like over kill but still no luck. Guess I am no use at networking!!
    Any advice would be most welcome.

    Last time I worked with the Cisco 30xx series (which, admittedly, was a few years ago), it only supported the Cisco client. Have you installed the Cisco client and tried?

  • How can i use an existing vpn connection without using the option "Send all traffic over vpn connection"?

    I have been trying to get my computer (os x.7) to astablish a remote desktop connection to my work computer via a vpn tunnel. In fact I have just discovered that it works fine if i select to "send all traffic over vpn connection" from the options in the advanced setup of the vpn.
    If the option is selected microsofts "Remote desktop connection for mac" works just fine. However without selecting the option it is not taking advantage of the tunnel but tries to connect as if the tunnel would not exist.
    Now the question is how do I get program to use the vpn tunnel without checking the above option?
    Thanks for any hints and pointers.

    Then can her computer be authorized to both accounts?
    Absolutely. You can authorize any given computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts.
    If purchases are made on her account, to a computer authorized to my account, can I put those songs on my iPod?
    If you connect your iPod to her computer, yes. Tracks download only to the computer from which they're purchased, regardless of which iTunes Store account is used for the purchase. Or you could copy the tracks from her computer to yours and then authorize your computer to her iTunes Store account. But that's sort of defeating the original purpose, it would seem to me.
    is it better to buy music through Amazon downloads and/or actually purchasing CDs to avoid the security features iTunes puts on its music?
    That's certainly an option. If it's an entire album I want, I buy CDs. That way I can import them at the quality I want and to whichever of my systems I want. Amazon or one of the other download stores that offer tracks as MP3 are also an option, though for me download stores are best when you just want a couple of tracks off a given CD.

  • Is there a limit to the number of concurrent L2TP/IPSec VPN connections in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I'm currently running an L2TP/IPSec service from a Snow Leopard server VM running on the latest version of Lion Server ( Had loads of issues with Lion VPN connectivity from outside our network when I first upgraded the physical server to Lion. quickest way to get the service back was to run an S/L VM. I know that there have been some changes to Lion in the VPN area, but this works... sort of;;;)
    I've got an IP address pool of 20 addresses confgured as this is only for ICT staff members. Each user has a local userid/password on the S/L server. For me, things just work.
    iPhone, iPad, OS X lion client they all work and I've had about 3 simultaneous connections up and running.However, the majority of staff users use Windows 7 client machines and they're been reporting sporadic connection failures where one moment they can get connected and the next they can't.  I'm currently wondring if there is some concurrent limit setting they are hitting and are getting slung off because I've got other users using the service.  It would be a bit strange if S/L can only support 2 or 3 connections out of the box.
    Then again it might be VMWare Fusion (Vsn 4.1.1) thats the problem.
    Any help apppreciated

    Alex

    You have to count to have about 30GB at least free on the startup disk, after you have the library loaded.
    On the external you have space enough.
    As far as I know there is no limit for iPhoto, but I suggest to not let it grow too much, because everything will become sluggish, also making backups. It should be possible to split up in more libraries, one that is really actual and one that is the past. Physical splitting up I mean, not smart collections. You can switch libraries by holding the Alt(option) at startup of iPhoto.

  • Why can't I establish a VPN connection using my iPhone 4's personal hotspot?

    Hello everybody,
    I want to access our company's network with my Mac Book Pro using my iPhone 4's 3G connection, but unfortunately it simply won't work. Here is what I can do:
    - I can establish a VPN connection from my MacBook Pro using my home (or some other) WiFi and access the company network.
    - I can establish a VPN connection on my iPhone 4 using 3G and access the company network on my iPhone 4.
    - I can use my iPhone 4's personal hotspot (sharing its 3G connection) with my MacBook Pro and surf the Web.
    what I can't do is:
    - establish a VPN connection on my MacBook Pro when connected to the internet via the iPhone's personal hotspot. (connection times out)
    - access the company's network on my MacBook Pro using the personal hotspot, when the iPhone's VPN connection is ON.
    The VPN is an encrypted PPTP connection, with username and password.
    Is this a known issue, and, if so, is there any way to solve this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers
    Diego

  • IPad2, Verizon 3G, VPN Connectivity Issues

    Greetings all. I am the systems administrator for my corporation and have seen an issue that I wish to present to the community for discussion.
    For those enterprise users that have an iPad2 with Verizons 3G, are you experiencing connectivity issues while trying to connect to your VPNs from the 3G network? If so, have you found any work around to allow connectivity or does it work fine for you?
    Here's a summary of my issues:
    We have a VPN server built on Debian Linux that has been in operation for over four years. It handles remote VPN connections from Windows, Linux,  Android, OS X, iOS, and from many different devices including multiple flavors of Apple products (iMacs, Minis, MacBooks, iPads, etc.). To date, it has performed flawlessly with assorted devices connecting to it through broadband and assorted 3G networks.
    Recently I purchased an iPad2 with Verizon 3G. I was able to set up the VPN connection using PPTP and connect using a Wi-Fi connection. When I turned off the Wi-Fi and attempted the same connection via Verizon 3G, it fails. I then took an associates iPad1 using AT&T 3G, set up the same connection, and was able to connect. I don't have access to an iPad2 on AT&T 3G so, I can't speak for that.
    Here's the logs from the VPN server while connecting from my iPad2:
    Wi-Fi
    Jul 27 05:20:43 localhost pppd[31694]: Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so loaded.

    Jul 27 05:20:32 localhost pppd[31682]: peer refused to authenticate: terminating link
    Jul 27 05:20:33 localhost pppd[31682]: Connection terminated.
    Jul 27 05:20:33 localhost pppd[31682]: Exit.
    As you can see, the peer refuses to authenticate causing the link to be terminated while attempting to connect using Verizons network. This is with the same VPN connection settings on the iPad2 that just worked with WiFi connection from the same device.
    Here's what I can verify with regards to 3G networks:
    Older (<4) iPhones and iPad1 using AT&T can connect
    Windows and OS X based laptops using Sprint 3G can connect
    Android based smart phones using Sprint 3G can connect
    I have not called Verizon or Apple Support yet but, that's next when I have the time. My initial conclusion is that there is something with Verizons 3G services that is causing the issue. It may be that Verizon is using some sort of data compression process that is problematic with VPN transmission. While the log shows an unsupported IPv6 protocol when connecting via Wi-Fi, it still negotiates a successful connection and I don't think that's the root cause for the disconnect. Thoughts?

    Hi Alexander,
    I am running in to the exact same issue (although not with Linux).  Did you ever find a fix for this?  I have some support tickets open with my VAR's, but found your post and thought I would check.  If I find anything I will post.
    Thanks

  • VPN Connection Seen As Public Network In Windows 8.1 & No Way To Change It?

    Hello,
    I have a perfectly working VPN setup in Windows 7 however since I have got a Windows 8 computer and subsequently upgraded it to 8.1 when I connect to the VPN it assigns the connection as Public and I cannot view any of the network shares.
    As I understand it, in Windows 8 you could go into the network section of Change PC Settings, right click over the VPN and enable sharing which would convert the public network type to private however there is no longer this option to enable sharing in 8.1
    So I'm left with having to disable the public firewall and then connect to the VPN where it works perfectly but is a bit of a pain.
    I'm hoping someone can help me to change the network type of the VPN connection from Public to Private, unfortunately the laptop runs Windows 8.1 Home Premium so I do not have access to gpedit.msc
    Hope someone can help.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Based on my knowledge, we can use the following method to change the network type of connection from Public to Private.
    Set Network to be Private in Windows 8 and 8.1 in Registry
    1.Press Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and press Enter.
    2.In Registry Editor, navigate to the location below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles
    3.Expand Profiles, click on each long GUID number subkey, and look at its PofileName string value in the right pane to see if it has the current network name (ex: Network) until found.
    4.When you find the correct PofileName for your network name, double click/tap on the Category DWORD value in the same right pane to modify it.
    5.Type in a new Data value number for the network location you want, and click/tap on OK.
    Network location      Data value
    Public                                0
    Private                             1
    Domain                            2
    6.When finished, please reboot your computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • VPN connection drops after 1 minute or less

    Hi All,
    not sure if this is a server-side or client-side issue. Trying to establish a VPN connection from an MBP to my Mac Mini server (L2TP over IPSec, Shared Secret w/ Password authentication) I manage to connect, authenticate and establish a connection. However, after about 45-60 seconds I see no more traffic (from the remote LAN) coming through to the MBP. The status indicator still shows that the tunnel is up but I just don't get any further response from the server. I can still get to the web, however, the traceroute seems to indicate that this traffic is flowing outside the VPN tunnel (whether the "Send all traffic over VPN connection" option on the MBP is selected or not).
    I've tried this with all combinations of 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to no avail. It is possible to keep the tunnel alive just a little longer if I keep a ping to the server going on the MBP, but this eventually gets lost as well.
    I've determined that there are some changes in the routing tables on the MBP whilst this is going on:

    The MBP is connected via WiFi to a router which gives it 10.149.18.96. The remote network is on 192.168.1.0/24. The VPN server (as well as the DNS and DHCP server) are on machine 192.168.1.180 (the Mac Mini).
    Neither the MBP nor the server logs really contain anything useful which would indicate why this is failing.
    It looks as though this issue has been there for quite a long time in some form:

    - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10958263
    - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2462874
    This is incredibly frustrating and I cannot understand while Apple has not done anything about this. Is there anyone here that is having the same problem and has possibly made some headway on this? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    First guess would be a faulty Openreach VDSL modem (the white box).
    Call 0800 111 4567, explain the problem. Be polite but firm and insist on an engineer visit. The engineer will test the line and probably replace the modem.

  • 2 concurrent VPN connections

    ISP: Comast Broadband
    LinkSys Wireless Router: SRX200 (WRT54GX2)
    PCs: 2 Dell laptops, D410 & D600
    PC Connections: Each laptop works wired or wirelessly to access Internet
    Problem statement: When my wife an dI both work from home, we can only maintain 1 VPN connection. Upon initiating a VPN connection from the 2nd laptop, the 1st laptop's connection is disabled.
    Goal: We would like to be able to connect to our work VPN and work remotely concurrently. Is this possible?

    It is definitely possible - we do it all the time.
    The first thing I would check for is that each PC gets a distinct IP.
    Maybe your DHCP settings only allow for one IP. Like when the first and the last IP in the range are the same number: 192.168.1.100 as an example.
    If you do get individual IP's, then it may be something to do with the VPN settings. Do you both connect to the same VPN, or two different ones? If it's the same, it may be that their server only allows one VPN per Internet IP, so that's not a router problem.

  • RV110W drops PPTP connections from a Windows client (MS CHAP v2 and MPPE)

    This might be a tough problem to diagnose. I am trying to setup an RV100W for an office gateway with VPN access using PPTP. The office is located in another state, so I'm trying to do a "dry run" from home by setting up the RV110W on the local network. That is, my home network is 192.168.0.0 and I have assigned the RV110W a static IP address of 192.168.0.120 on its WAN side and a DHCP NAT internal network of 192.168.1.0. Its LAN IP is 192.168.1.2 (because of legacy limitations, the 192.168.1.1 address will be reserved for another host on the actual office network) and I set up the PPTP server on 192.168.1.3 and clients in the 192.168.1.20 to 24 range. I have enabled MPPE encryption and NetBIOS over VPN (rather important to have).
    At first, I couldn't login at all. I had an underscore (_) in the user names (of which I have setup all five) and after I changed that, I was able to connect from a Windows 7 x64 host on the home LAN (192.168.0.132). I don't know if that was the problem as I got disconnected and reconnecting was a hit-or-miss - sometimes it would work, sometimes - it wouldn't. Below is the log from the session, showing the reasons for the disconnection. When I try to connect and it gets rejected, otherwise, the reason is the same: protocol not available.
    But, first - here's the kicker. I had the exact same experience earlier with a DD-WRT router. I thought the problem lied with the amateurish firmware and that's why I decided to get the Cisco, but it seems like this might not be the problem, after all. Here is that discussion for full details: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=149951&highlight= (to see all of the attached images and logs, you'll need an account). Briefly, with the same setup, I can establish a stable VPN connection from four Windows XP clients and one Windows 7 client, but I get the problems with two other Windows 7 clients. The Win7 clients that give me trouble can connect just fine to other PPTP VPN servers (with the built-in Microsoft PPTP client) and all three Win7 machines are clones of each other (only the hardware is different). No software firewalls, anti-virus/malware, user-permission limitations (e.g., UAC), or anything that could hamper the connections, are present on either machine.
    I don't see how the fact that the RV110W is on a LAN and not exposed to the Internet on its WAN side could cause any trouble, but even then - why some clients work fine and others - not? I would appreciate any help with this issue.
    Kamen
    This is the log from the session, showing the connection of the VPN client and then, not two minutes later, the disconnection.

    Update: things are getting even weirder. In short - it seems to be working now (on the next day) without anything changing. First thing I did was just try another desperate tweak - I disabled the LCP extensions on the Windows client, which I've done before. It connected and stayed that way. Then, I reverted that setting back to exactly how it was before and connected again - no problems: it stayed connected for an hour (before I disconnected so I can connect to the real VPN), I could access a test-PC on the private network (a single machine just for the test) and do different tasks (resolve host names, browse UNC paths, copy files, Remote Desktop to it, etc.)
    I hate it when things happen, for which there is no explanation. I couldn't be confident sending this to the main office to replace the existing router (hardware) and VPN server (implemented in software on a Windows 2003 server). Any thoughts?
    Kamen
    P.S. I'm attaching the logs from the successful session in case someone wants to compare them, but they seems quite identical (some different ConfAck / ConfNak  sequences, but that doesn't seem to make much difference).

  • Asking About VPN connectivity

    Y the VPN on iphone doesn't work ??

    The VPN client provided on iOS does work.  (I use it.)
    That you're apparently encountering connectivity errors would then imply that there's a configuration error within the particular iOS VPN client, or some sort of incompatibility with the features or requirements of the particular VPN server involved, attempts to establish multiple L2TP VPNs across a NAT device (PPTP works better, there), ports that aren't open in an intermediate firewall and/or ports blocked by an ISP, or a configuration error with the target VPN server, or an attempt to establish a VPN connection from a network to itself or across two networks that are both using the same IP subnet.
    VPNs are comparatively fussy to configure, and certainly somewhat arcane.
    If the settings on the various pieces involved don't all match, then the VPN won't connect.
    In general, I recommend acquiring a firewall box with an embedded VPN server, as that can be simpler to manage than a host-based VPN server, and particularly a host-based VPN server where the VPN connections must traverse one or more NAT firewalls.
    Some details on your particular here could help.

    ... when i click go - connect to server, it comes up with connection failed.
    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.
