What's going on with VPN?
I am having problems setting up VPN for Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, home workstation computer, not networked.
I am also having general non-specific problems with Internet connectivity, according to network engineers.
I having a WiFi Mac and a hard-wired cable connect PC sharing the same modem at home.
The two machines are not 'networked', but standalone workstations. Relevant?
Specifically, I get script errors when I try to setup any 3rd party VPN service.
I can ignore error and VPN sets up.
But then the number of non-specific problems increase.
All of the 3rd party vendors, AND MY ISP ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT... blame Windows.
LOL! Maybe more specifically, there's something Windows and I should be doing, that we are not doing.
I noticed that my Ethernet Network has not selected Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol.
What happens if I install this "Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol"?
Is this why VPN is grumpy?
I found these two interesting links, but they don't point me in any specific direction.
( Direction? I am lost. That is why I am posting here? )
http://batcmd.com/windows/8/services/ndisimplatform/
http://www.ehow.com/list_6774290_multiplexing-protocols.html
Also, every time I click Diagnose (hiding behind Properties popup in above capture), I get errors after installing Windows. Microsoft Research did something here, and the errors are gone in this particular Windows installation, but I still can't install
VPN without errors.
Very simply, the batcmd files runs as follows:
@echo off
sc config NdisImPlatform start= demand
exit
Anecdote MNAMP is for Network Teaming and Binding. Provides a platform for network adapter load balancing and fall-over.
Query MNAMP may resolve some permissions issue that causes VPN installers to display 'SCRIPT ERROR' during install. Considered that script error displays without Windows popup error and may be related to "waiting for Windows Firewall to
respond". At same time Windows Event viewer shows Error (reasoned with ISP engineer just now, possible Windows 8.1 Pro permissions bug, with implications far beyond VPN installer hangs)
Service Control Manager
The TAP-Windows Adapter V9 service failed to start due to the following error:
The service could not be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled device associated with it.

Hi Wonder,
IE web extension development forum discusses about building Activities, WebSlices and add-ons for Internet Explorer. For VPN setup and edit issue, it would be better ask to windows 8.1 Networking forum since you have no development issue.

What am I missing with VPN enforcement?
I'm making sense of how to implement the VPN Enforcement feature and would like to hear from others who have set it up.
The way I understand it to work is this...
User connects to the internet (eg with a laptop using a 3G card). Once it detects the internet connection, it switches to the Location specified in the "Switch To" setting on the VPN Enforcement page.
And I have it prompting to connect to the VPN client at this point.
What is puzzling me is... what's the point?
It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the user connects to the VPN or not. The Location in the Switch To setting can have certain restrictions but once connected to the VPN, the Location doesn't change. So, before or after connection to the VPN the same restrictions are in place.
Perhaps I'm missing something in the way this is meant to work.
How has anyone else set this up?
Ideally what I want to happen is....
User connects to the internet - so has enough restrictions (or un-restrictions) to allow this. This would include connecting at an airport or hotel where you connect via a web page. Usually this would be with a 3G modem
then the user is forced to connect to their VPN (in our case we have a dongle and log in. So, I can cause the login screen to appear on VPN switching)
Only allow internet access as long as the VPN is connected. And block access if it is not.
Any thoughts are happily received, thanks
AlisonHere is a brief description of what needs to be done in order for VPN Enforcement to work.
1) The "Unknown" location should have a "stateful" firewall assigned. This allows the endpoint to see all APs and also authenticate to them.
2) The VPN Location should have an "all closed" firewall. This location will be used to switch to once the endpoint gains internet connection (the ZSC checks this automatically). You have to setup a single ACL rule
that points to the IP address of your VPN concentrator (so now the only accessible service/device is the VPN)
3) In the "VPN Enforcement" settings, enter the IP address of the VPN concentrator, the trigger location (at a minimum this is the Unknown), and "Switch to" locations (this is the location you set up in step 2)
5) Again, in "VPN Enforcement" configure the settings needed to make your VPN client to connect "automagically" to the VPN concentrator (client path, and optionally any arguments).
Please note that internet connectivity triggers the enforcement. If someone connects to an AP or wired network that requires authentication (such as you see at a coffee house or hotel), then the Internet connectivity fails.
Hope this clarifies,
Daniel

Excellent - thanks Indy
That is pretty much the same as what I'm setting up. Would you mind
expanding on how you've set this up....I've put your original comments
in blue
1) Users log in and change their location to 'Wired/Wireless/3G'.
I know our users won't manually switch Locations themselves.
I've got this set up to detect the Unknown location which is anything
that is away from the office wired network.
2) Once they have connected to a secure wifi hotspot or their vodafone
3g dongle is connected the location automatically switches to 'Secure
VPN'.
Once they are on the internet, ourLcoation does switch from
"Unknown" to "Away from the Office" (or "VPN" in your system). Can I
ask you what your Firewall settings are on your VPN location? Are there
any restrictions? eg I had it All Blocked but of course it stopped it
connecting the VPN client so I've now got it set to All Stateful.
3) After a few seconds the Cisco VPN Client automatically loads and the
user has to connect via that to get internet connectivity otherwise they
get nothing.
I have this too - the client VPN launches and the user is prompted
to login. But what if they don't? what stops the internet working for
them if they didn't log in? When you say "otherwise they get nothing" -
what is it that prevents them getting to the internet if they have not
connected to the VPN. This is exactly what I'm trying to set up so I'm
very happy to hear that you've done it. What is puzzling me is how to
have it blocking internet access unless it is through the VPN.
I think its purpose is to make sure all internet traffic goes through
your VPN and firewalls, settings, etc etc...
Exactly what I want ! Thanks - I've just got to figure out how to
do it.
Hope that helps,
That helped a lot.

Hi, all.
Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

What's going on with iCloud (MobileMe)? I'm able to sign in here, but I can't access mail on my Macbook Pro, iPhone, or work computer. I always get an authorization error (user-id or passwork wrong). This has been going on for almost a week now.
The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ? -
What's going on with iCloud 3/11/15?
What's going on with iCloud on 3/11/15? I can't sign in & asked over & over to log in. I need to get into iCloud pages to create a document. Same issues with iTunes.
iCloud appears to be mostly up now, but there's still some issues as reported storage is wrong and attempting to change storage plans results in an error. icloud.com is saying I have no documents or Photos stored, despite the fact there is stuff stored in iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos, both of which are currently working.
I tried calling support, but they couldn't help me without a PIN that you need to get from appleid.apple.com and trying to sign into that site results in an errors, so there are major problems today. -
Why does apple make it so difficult to understand what is going on with my one to one?
Does anyone have any answers for this? I don't even know where to list it here as a question.
Just spent over 2 hours, off and on, trying to get someone at apple to help figure out what's going on with my one to one. They give a number for help but there's no one there - only more gibberish about go here go there go all over the place on their site.... So called 'customer service' doesn't understand my question? Another place it says call the store, well that was another waste of time....
If I get a message saying my one to one is expired and then I pay for it via paypal, wait for the activation email. I sure don't want to pay for something I already have - that was my grocery money for 2 weeks.
When I click on that link it says:

What's going on with U-Verse in South Miami
For the past two months, we have been getting dropped signals (bundled U-Verse and including landline, mobile phone, television and internet) sometimes three times a day. I have had phone calls drop while speaking to my boss, (I work from home) favourite shows will all of a sudden give us that no service screen, which means we lose portions of the dialogue, and the internet stops working. I have not dared to call ATT as frankly the only solution that Customer Service seems to know is "Oh it must be your RG that needs changing." Well that's a load of rubbish since if it's the RG then ATT have some serious problems as I have spoken to at least six people that I know that also have U-Verse and they are all having the same problem, but kept thinking it was just them.
The internet signal has also got painfully slow and since we pay a juicy bill of $315 dollars a month and subscribe to the best package that U-Verse has to offer, I do not expect to have these constant problems. Nobody is perfect, and a little issue once in a while is acceptable, but not two to three times day! In addition... we receive an electronic bill and this has been a very hectic month for me, so realising that today was the 12th and I know that the bill is usually due sometime around this time of the month, and not having received a bill, I went online to investigate. Sure enough - on login to the payment page, it said "past due!" Well send me a bill and I will pay it. I just don't know what is going on with U-Verse but it is very distressing. I believe the saying is that they have, "Gone to ** in a handbasket." On a positive note - we can now apparently fast forward and rewind On-Demand TV shows, and which made no sense before that this feature was unavailable. However... this does not make up for the recent poor service and non-arrival of my electronic monthly bill, ( will have to go back to paper - not cool) and then having the nerve to tell me "past due."
[Per Guidelines: Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].Chris, As explained, and to be honest I am usually very long-winded and detailed in my explanations because readers miss things, as you might have done in this case. It is not my problem alone. Whenever we have a problem with any utility or especially in the case of ATT services, I always check with anyone that I know that uses the service and over a broad area, not just in my street but anyone I know in an approximate 8 - 10 mile area, to see if our issues are isolated just to us. If they are, then I know that it is most likely a piece of equipment we are using. In this situation, as there have been in others, every single person that I spoke to is experiencing the same situation. And again - this is why I said that I have thrown up my hands in exasperation and usually get another family member to call customer service if there is a problem, as I know exactly what they are going to tell me. "Let us check your line - (you then spend 45 minutes on the phone with them) No... everything seems fine, it must be your RG, you need to buy a new one." Mea culpa - I have no patience or time for scripted c.s. reps. Two years ago, we had a lightening strike that literally struck the ATT box next door. The wires in all the boxes on the street (including the ones in our yard) were fused and black when the box was opened. And yet... when one of my neighbours (who apparently did not connect the lightening strike with the loss of service - sigh... what can I say...) called ATT, they got the same response. "No, we don't see any problems here, it must be your RG." Com'n! It was a lightening strike! And on an aside - the new cable is now still hanging from my backyard fence as they were supposed to come back to bury it. Two years ago... So the dear space-cadet neighbours, paid for a new RG, hooked it up to find there was no reception (ya think?) and to then find out that theirs was just fine, and now there was the hassle of having to package the new one and take it to the UPS store to ship it back, and which is another frustration, because it is not possible to return it to a local store or office. Unlike yours truly, they apparently did not do their research with other users, even though we had no service for over a week. So - by a process of survey and elimination, it cannot be the RG, unless everyone I spoke with is using the same RG. But there have been quite a few changes that we have noticed recently, ranging from new look menus, to those very beautiful images when first turning on the TV. So is it not entirely possible that in all the changes and tweaking, something else has been affected? Look it happens - but I can never understand why they can't just say,"Sorry, we are working on "upgrades" so we apologise but you might experience these little set-backs for a while until we are through." Why always blame it on the RG? Another way to make more money?

Your problem is different and more difficult, since your Latin is not being replaced by junk characters. I think sometimes it is caused by bad font caches and sometimes by duplicated Latin system fonts. For one possible fix you can check out this:

What's going on with my USB drive?
I have a WD MyBook 2tb drive, one of several on my Mac Mini running Mountain Lion, and a few days ago that drive started making scritchy-scratchy sounds like it was being worked really hard when nothing at all was accessing it. That the drive access light isn`t flashing while this is going on is all the more puzzling.
So it has to be the OS doing something on it I would think, and doing a lot of it for some reason or another, but I have no clue how to find out what, or why. Okay, so the disk could be failing, and I`ve got it all backed up so if it goes I just go buy another disk, but this disk is less than a year old, and I have a WD 500gb disk that`s nearly 7 years old and it`s still going strong. Then too, I`ve run Disk Utility on it several times and it give the drive a clean bill of health, so WHAT????
I`ve tried using Terminal to find out what`s going on with that disk, but being a total idiot when it comes to Unix I`ve little idea how to look at that particular disk, and try as I might I cannot find anything online anywhere that tells me how.
So far I`ve tried iosnoop, which gets me a lot of seemingly bad messages that scroll endlessly up the screen saying things like:
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 4 (ID 1031: io:mach_kernel:buf_strategy:start): invalid user access in action #3 at DIF offset 0
and this launchd stuff:
launchd ??/<unknown (NULL v_parent)>/<unknown (NULL v_name)>
This stuff just goes on and on and on and on... forever and never stops.
What does it all mean???? Is the drive dying on me? What if I reformat it? Would this stuff stop?Is this a one-time occurence, or is it continuous?
Does the drive have a separate power source or is it bus powered by the Mini? -

No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.
