RE: VPN question
Can I ask what you did to sort out the problem? I want to start using VPN at my office but am not sure about how to get it working...as the firewall is giving me a lot of problems/denial messages Regards Davidt -Original Message- From: Krueger, Aaron G. - Lonesome [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 September 2001 15:52 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VPN question I'm coming in the middle here, so forgive me if this has been stated already...the traffic _does_ need a way to get back to the end user. Port(s) may need to be opened or reconfigured to allow VPN to function correctly. I have run into a similar situation before at a small business where the previous IT person had the firewall far too secure. Just another opinion... Aaron G. Krueger Sr. Network Analyst -Original Message- From: Michael W. Ellis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 9:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VPN question Part of the problem is that I have no idea of their configuration. Most of my remote users work out of home offices and use dialup for Internet. This particular user is in an office building where Internet connectivity is provided, but I do not have any details on their architecture. The user is not network savvy enough to figure out any of the details. My real question concerns their insistence that he must have a static IP address and that they need to open _inbound_ ports to allow him to establish an _outbound_ connection to my corporate LAN.

What kind of internet access, and what is the configuration for the remote users internet connection? Dynamic DSL? They shouldn't have anything to do with ports unless they are firewalling you on their end, or they are managing your firewall if you have a firewall onsite. -Original Message- From: Michael W. Ellis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 8:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VPN question I have a remote user who needs to connect to our corporate LAN over his Internet connection. The corporate end of the connection has already been verified by another user in a different remote office. Thus far the new user has been unable to connect, and as far as I can tell none of his packets reach my server. His office has Internet connectivity provided by a third party, so I asked him to verify with them that they will allow outbound PPTP connections. Their response was that they do not for security reasons. To enable this for his office they want to assign a static IP address (more $ per month) and charge a setup fee (again, more $). I have repeatedly stated that he needs to establish an outbound connection, but they insist that they must open inbound ports (hence the static IP). I'm no firewall expert, nor a PPTP expert, but I'm just not buying their line. Any comments on this topic are appreciated. Michael Ellis Want to unsub?

RE: Win 98

I have a NT4 DC server running DHCP/DNS/WINS. I am on a class B private subnet using the 10.52.x.x address range. I have a 98 machine that everytime it tries to renew its lease at the half-way point, it changes the subnet mask from a class B 255.255.0.0 to a class A 255.0.0.0. Once that happens, of course all it can do is access local machines and will not be able to get passed through my router for internet and corporate access. I have done everything short of reloading the system, which will get upgraded to 2000 soon. But I am curious if any of you guys have bumped into this, since it is only one machine? Please help!

Norton's desktop and server version also gives you centralized management with the client PC's looking to the parent server every hour for updates and the parent server looking for updfates twice a day although I think that this is configurable.

RE: Nimda - Thought we were protected
Sounds more like the machine itself is having problems rather than Nimda causing anything. OSme of our NT workstations have that problem but hit the restart button and all works well on next reboot.

We just had our developer machines, running NT2000 Server hit with Nimda. The strange thing is, we have Nimda protection in our email scanner, and all the security fixes MS said should be applied. SP2 is installed. The machines boot up, a log in screen displays, and they login. The Novell login script begins to run as normal ( we run mixed network, NT and Novell), then the login script box clears as normal, a blue screen appears as normal, and nothing further happens.
