VPN no longer working from MAC (Windows works)

Greetings,
after a few months our vpn stopped working when trying to connect with a
Mac using PPTP. Windows still works like a charm, though. When browsing the
log files (on server and client), I see that both machines send several
LCP_ConfReq packets, but neither machine sends a ConfAck or a ConfNack, and
after several packets, the client drops the connection.
I am 100% certain that I didn't change the configuration on either computer,
and it did work two or three months ago.
Can anybody point me to some clues?
Yours,
Alexander

It appears that ML no longer supports 32bit applications at all. 
Therefore, you have 2 options:
1) Use the built in VPN client, you will need your IT's help for this as it requires the group name and password of your VPN server.   You can configure it by going to System Preferences -> Network and 'adding' an VPN (Cisco IPSec) interface.   I haven't had much luck with it, it works sometimes and sometimes it fails, but other people swear by it.
2) Move over to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client, which does support 64bit.  This will also require your IT department as they need to configure the SSL/AnyConnect VPN on the VPN device itself.   I went to this method yesterday and it's worked out great so far.

  • I have keynote on ipad2 and powerbook g4. if I send a keynote work from mac to Ipad, I cannot read it. any solution?

    I have keynote on ipad2 and powerbook g4. if I send,by mail, a keynote work from mac to Ipad, I cannot read it.there is no problem fram Ipad to mac. any solution? thanks

    How are you trying to transfer the Keynote presentation?
    You can email the presentation to yourself and open it with Keynote on your iPad.
    You can use iTunes. Connect your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes, go to the App Tab for your device and add your presentation to the Apps/Keynote section. Now if you touch the "+" in keynote on your iPad you will get the choice Copy from iTunes.
    Your can setup iCloud on your laptop & iPad and save your Mac laptop presentation to iCloud and just open it on your iPad.
    There are, of course many other ways, Dropbox, etc.

  • Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

    I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

    Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.

  • Slideshows which work for Mac, Windows AND ipads/iphones???

    Hi.
    My first post here & just getting into mac after many decades of windows!!
    After much searching around I have finally found a place (Yola) where I can design a website which is compatible with all browsers/mac/windows..hurray.
    However, due to the type of work that I do I need to display 50 photos (before/after). I want to do this with a slideshow. I have made up around 8 from different sites but each time there's a compatibility problem with ipads or iphones (but no problem with mac/windows/nokia smartphone).
    Is there a slideshow (FREE) which will work across all platforms? Is iphoto the only way - and will that work with windows and is there a free version.
    Finally, the website design software uses 'widgets' to place code into the site for photos/slideshows etc etc.
    Any help would really be appreciated!
    David
    PS Hope to be getting an ipad soon.

    come on guys, someone here must play some games on their intel mac?
    please help me make my mind up

  • Has anyone got Airport Disk working from a Windows PC?

    The title says it all really!
    Just wondered if I'm the only one having trouble with the new Airport extreme..
    Alex

    Hello everybody.
    I have no problems accessing USB disks on my AEBS from any Windows computer, but I have the same problem as ashealey.
    I have connected my new HFS+ preformatted LaCie 500GB minihub (designed to be stacked under a MacMini- but also looks ok under the Airport) to my also new Airport Extreme (802.11n). After connecting the disk, the disk appears with a nice picture on my MacBook. And I have no problems accessing the disk from Windows - both wireless and wired.
    I have copied lots of data, incl. backup (> 16GB) from my MacBook to the Airport connected LaCie disk witout any problems.
    From Windows I can create directories, and read/write files. And I can copy large amounts (>16GB) from the Airport disk to my Windows computers. But when I try, as you, to copy large data quantities from Windows to my Airport disk, my Airport Extreme and/or LaCie harddisk crashes as you describe. It is not enough to re-start the Airport. I also have to re-start the LaCie disk (I unplug both devices, and re-power them). I only ran one copy at a time, so it has nothing to do with simultainousl access.
    Hope the cause of this problem can be found soon. I guess the problem is in the Airport Extreme.
    I cannot understand, why Apple have released this Airport Extreme without having tried this simple test: Copy more than 20MB from a Windows PC to the Airdisk. I think Apple is loosing some of its fans, if the problem is not solved very fast. One of the reasons I selected the Airport Extreme, instead of using my current TopCom wireless router was the Airdisk possibility. This is more flexible than buying a seperate LAN disk. But if it doesn't work, what's the point?

  • Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

    sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

    Is there a way to add this automatically?
    For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
    To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".

  • 'find email' function doesn't work from iMAC but works fine on .mac webmail

    I have a lot of email messages -probably 3600- and I am using Mail for Mac. When I go to the search box and type in a search term, it returns either (1) no results or (2) only a partial list of emails that include the search term.
    If I conduct the search from the Spotlight box, it works fine and identifies all the correct emails.
    The only software I've installed is Google Earth, Earthdesk, and Ilife 08. I un-installed Earthdesk thinking it might be the problem, but it didn't help.
    It works fine when I search my email from .mac webmail...?
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I'm talking about just searching my email for various search terms- for instance, I just received a few messages about a party, so when I type "party" in to the search box, I am annoyed and surprised to see no messages pop up. If I type in "fun" then a couple of the messages that contain this word pop up, but not all of them.
    It's very irritating.
    I am not in front of my iMac- I'm at work- but I don't believe there is anything between the search box and the messages....?

  • Migration won't work from mac os x 10.6 to mac os x 10.10

    I'm trying to migrate all my information, data etc. from my mac os x 10.6.8 to a mac os x 10.10 and I get a error message on the migration assistant on the mac os x 10.10 saying I need to upgrade the mac os x 10.6.8 to continue the migration. But on apple's support website of migrating from mac os x 10.6.8 and later, it states that migration assistant in mavericks and yosemite can transfer information from other computers that have os x snow leopard 10.6.8 or later installed. It states that I can transfer from a mac os x 10.6.8 but gives me a error message saying I need to upgrade the software on the mac os x 10.6.8 when using migration assistant. So why can't I use migration assistant without updating the 10.6.8 mac?

  • Magic Trackpad - 2 finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail - works in Safari

    Hi,
    I've been happily using a Magic Trackpad for a couple of years but just recently the two finger scrolling has stopped working in Mac Mail. It still works fine in other apps eg Safari so this seems like a very odd problem ie I can't imagine you can configure it to work in one app and not another! Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Thank you merleau.  I had the very same problem and found your solution perfect. This helped me tremedously.

  • All email links have stopped working from both Windows Mail and Thunderbird. It is probably caused by a recent update to Firefox. How can I sort this?

    It was OK until a few days ago but now no links work in either Thunderbird or Windows Mail. I have changed nothing so I can only assume that this is another case of an update changing things without my knowledge.
    Links within web pages still work. Firefox is the default browser and we have been using Windows Mail and Thunderbird (gmail and googlemail) for at least a couple of years on this computer.

    Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
    program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
    go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
    you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
    firewall may not allow access.
    This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again:<BR><BR>
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)<BR><BR>
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

  • .mov Files not working in Mac but working on Windows

    I use a Kodak 10MP digital camera to click. I use it to shoot some videos too.
    I had some videos taken earlier on the camera and used to view them on windows. Just bought a Macbook a few days ago, and all those videos worked fine (transfered using an external drive). But there is something I m so confused with now.
    All the videos I shoot now, iPhoto does not import (hangs). I copied the video to windows where I could see all easily, and copied it to a pen drive. But sadly even trying to open them on pen drive doesn't work. It says its not a .mov file (dimension: -- --) whereas earlier videos be it 640x480 or HD worked fine. Do note videos are working on Windows. I have Quicktime 10.0 and player 7 installed.
    Please help.

    Won't you mid it AMAZING
    Windows Quicktime and VLC are playing the files easily. Mac OS X is not. aren't mov files exclusive to Apple?
    There are no picture settings on the camera (heck the camera is so bad you can't do anything even on trying). How is this possible that old videos worked and new aren't. I can't even sleep until I understand.
    Already feeling going the Mac way wasn't the right choice. Should have stuck with Windows.

  • Suddenly cannot print to hp6510 which works from mac?

    Suddenly cannot AirPrint to hp6510 from ipad2.  Printer works perfectly with MacBook. iPad networked correctly to routers etc. what and how to check what is wrong?i

    Hello John,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the issue you are experiencing when trying to print from your iPad. 
    First, I recommend following these steps:
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    You can find the full article here:
    AirPrint Basics
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If you are still having trouble printing after following those steps, I recommend following these steps:
    Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
