Does anyone know if this is a: OpenVPN config problem Windows problem Client network problem Server VPN config problem Server network probl...
I have the Xming X Window Server installed on a laptop running Windows XP to connect to some UNIX development servers. It works fine when I connect directly to the company network in the office. However, it does not work when I connect to the network remotely over a VPN. When I start Xming when connected remotely none of my terminal w...
I'm working on a project which uses .NET Remoting for communication between the client application and an object server. For development, the client, server, and MSSQL database are all running on my local development machine. When I'm working at the office, the responsiveness is just fine. However, when I work from home the speed is ...
I would like to set up VPN access for people in my company to use when they are working from home and on the road. We have a VPN service built into our Watchgard firewall, but it requires a Windows-only custom client and some of our employees have Macs or Linux computers. I am not any sort of networking expert so the solution would nee...
One major problem I have is corporate IT policy (Oh, I'm not alone then? :) ) Specifically that if I'm off-site using a VPN connection, I cannot link to anything outside that VPN connection. So my local printer at home is off-limits unless I disconnect - a simplistic example of the hampering. I've been pondering whether a VM machine ...
I'm using an Ubuntu 8.04 (x86_64) machine to connect to my employer's Cisco VPN. (The client didn't compile out of the box, but I found patches to update the client to compile on kernels released in the last two years.) This all works great, until my DHCP client decides to renew its lease and updates /etc/resolv.conf, replacing the VPN-s...
A Sprint cellular modem plugs into a laptop - often the PCMCIA slot. To connect, the user opens a program called the Connection Manager. This program has a menu option to display the serial number and phone number of the modem that's currently inserted. Does that imply that the serial/phone number of the modem could be available to othe...
Our EPOS system copies data by compressing the database into a zip file, and manually copying to each till, using shared directories. Each branched is liked to the main location, using VPN which can be problematic, but is required for the file sharing to work correctly. Since our database system currently does not support replication,...
Is it doable to set up a non-domain-based (standalone) Windows Server 2008 as an SSTP VPN (Secure Socket Layer Tunneling Protocol VPN)? I'd like to enable remote users to access a network via SSL-based VPN (currently using PPTP) by making an SSTP VPN connection via a Win2k8 server. Most of the docs seem to include running in an AD doma...
I'm trying to connect to my workplace using a VPN connection, however I'm behind a firewall and I need to know what ports the connection will use to ask the network adiministrator to open them. I'm using Windows Vista and the VPN Server runs on a Windows 2003 Server machine. ...
I'm a programmer dammit, I should be allowed to ask these kinds of IT questions! :) Anyway the problem is as follows. I'm writing an automatic build script to deploy code to a live windows 2003 server. To get access to the server I enabled the VPN role, and I can connect to it remotely from my dev machine using a username and password I...
Our usage case is a database responsible for accounts, sessions, licenses, etc. — it needs to be polled upon client startup, so high reliability is crucial. As such, we'd like to replicate across different servers in physically separate networks, just in case an entire datacenter happens to go down. I have successfully set up a push subs...
Can the built in VPN client "Connect to Workplace" in Vista home connect to a Cisco router? Are there any other Cisco compatible clients? I love vpnc, but it only runs under Linux or Cygrin on Windows. ...
I have a support environment where we connect to many of our customers' systems using VPN and Remote Desktop. Right now, support personnel have to manually set up the VPN connection on their workstation. Is there a way to programmatically create the VPN connection? ...
I saw this similar question for Hyper-V, but I don't think any of the answers there apply directly. If they do, please point me at the right one, and I'll close this as a dupe. My question arises with using VMware's bridged networking - when I have X-many guests running in VMware Server, and I connect to my corporate VPN, none of the ho...
I have an application that runs transactions spanning over multiple databases on the same server. Naturally this involves the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator and everything works like it is supposed to. Howver, when I remotely connect to the network where the server is hosted via VPN and run the application on my local mac...

I often connect to my work TFS instance over VPN. Becasue my home computer is not on the domain, I'm forced to enter my userid/password for each tf.exe command. Is there a way to cache or save this locally? ...
I am working with the basic Cisco VPN client (v.5 I believe). Is there anyway to determine programatically if a partciular profile (or any profile for that matter) is connected? I'm looking to somehow get a status from the client itself. I don't want to have to try to ping some IP on the other end of the VPN to see if I get a response...
