Listers,
Howdy. I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I have a
PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.3.6 and I am trying to configure
Virtual PC 7.0 (Windows XP Pro) to use Symantec Client VPN 8.0 to
create a tunnel to my companies network. So far I can't make it
work. I get the following error message each time:
Error connecting tunnel to <IP address>. The server rejected the
ISAKMP
security association.
Make sure the phase1 IDs, shared key and IKE policy are correct.
I've made sure all the info is correctly entered. Still nothing.
The same set up works fine on my father-n-law's Dell using XP Home.
I'm thinking that I need to use a Virtual switch set up through the
Virtual PC rather than the shared networking set up. But when I try
to use the virtual switch, I can't get the dialer to dial out and I
can't get a connection established.
So, I don't know if I have two problems (the initial connection to
the internet + the VPN problem) or just one (connection to my ISP).
Any ideas about how to set this up?
No idea, but if you're getting far enough to have the VPN server
reject the attempt, it's not got anything to do with your ISP.
You're probably connected directly to a cable or DSL modem, right?
This would be why the virtual switch won't connect; most cable/dsl
modems recognize only one MAC address at a time; with the VSwitch in
place, you have two, one for your Mac (recognized) and one for VPC
(rejected, hence no connection)
The solution is to buy a cable/dsl router to put between your cable
modem and your Mac. <http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=62>
This routes all traffic from any machine behind it out through the
internet connection as a single MAC address.
Disconnect your mac from the modem. Reset the modem; some have a
small button to push, some simply require a power cycle.
Now plug the router into the modem, and your Mac into the router.
Your mac should be able to surf.
Start VPC, and set up the virtual switch. try surfing from VPC, if it
works, THEN go to setting up the VPN connection.
Finally, if you have one of several models of Cisco DSL modem, VPN
across it is a total PITA.
We were trying to support a small remote office on one; we ended
going with a cable broadband because out local so-calle "Phone"
company couldn't get it to work, even though they advertised it.
