RE: VPN question

Are both users using the same ISP.  Some ISP's drop VPN packets by default.

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.

I am getting Duplicate name found when I restart a NT server.  I know that
the name is not a duplicate.  The only way I can get the server back on
and working is to unplug the network connections and reboot the system. 
Once I login I can reconnect the network connections and all is well.  Any
ideas of what would make the server think there was a duplicate name?

Hi folks,

Can any of you recommed a cluster hardware solution for implementing on our
current servers.  Both are identical Dell PE300.  I am considering the Ami

Anyone have any experiences of this or similar products then I would

You need to add the dell drivers for the hard disk when booting off the cd
or nt boot disks.  This will allow the NT setup to get arround the problem
and let you specify a larger boot disk.  You should be OK installing onto a
2gig partition and then updating the NT hard disk drivers which will allow
you to see the remaineder of the disk.  I had to do this on some of our
optiplex hardware.

Hi!

We are GMT+2 so I am only now reading your conversation!

You don't need any fdisk.  a blank disk is best place to start. Boot from CD
(or 3 stiffies) and it will self detect that nothing is set up.

It will then ask you to define partitions and when you play along, it will
give you the option to use the whole disk as the partition BUT (I think this
has changed but my server CD build 1381 I think) will allow a maximum of 2GB
as the first partition else you get that message you mentioned.

You can increase this partition later using Partition Magic or the like -
there might be other suggestions but I set up our drives as c=2 or 1.5(OS),
f=±50%of remainder for APPS and R:=the rest for Data unless the installation
requires different.

Then remember to do the sup pack (6a) before trying to do fancy NIC's and
Video drivers.

Good Luck

RE: VPN NEWBIE

2001-08-28 Thread Richard McMahon 

He already has the box so why spend more cash, other options are to buy a
dsl router or firewall that supports VPN.

Playing devils advocate here: These opinions may or may not be my own.

One reason someone may choose to not use VPN solutions under win2k is
because the protocol in use is PPTP.
Even though as of version 2 it was more secure, it is the least secure VPN
protocol.  I also beleive that there is some restrictions with encryption.
(If your server is 56bit (why?) you need a 56bit client, if it's 128, then
you can only use 128bit client)

Why not use the MS VPN server on the Win2k Server...

The Cisco VPN client requires a Cisco VPN Concentrator (i.e. 3005, 3015,
3030, etc.) at the location you are connecting to (your home).  The cost for
the Concentrator is $3000 plus depending on model.  The client then allows
you to setup a tunnel with encryption to the Concentrator.

This works great connecting a number of home PCs to the office.  However,
it's a bit expensive to connect to your home PC.  I would forget the Cisco
client and look into some of the other options that have been suggested.

I have a windows 2000 server. My connection is a SDSL. What do I need to set
up a VPN? I am so new that I haven't a clue:) I want to set one up to my
home office. So I can dial into it remotly. Can anyone help me put? I have
Cisco VPN 3000 client. I just don't even understand what hardware I need or
what to do first to get a VPN up.

We have 9 
of the critters, and 2 of them do the same thing every now and then. That's 
when I send them in for repair or purchase a spare. It doesn't happen very 
often to those particular 2 units and the other 7 just seem to work all the 
time.

  This is a problem with all deskjets and win2k/nt4 
  connections. I verified this with hp quite 
  sometime ago. I thought it was the other way around, something with the drivers not being compatible. It was 
  a really stupid excuse by hp, but afterall the 
  deskjet is considered a *home* printer and is 
  supported as such.

  Has anyone been having trouble sharing a DeskJet 
  990cxi? 
  I have it connected up to a JetDirect 175X connected 
  to a Windows 2000 server.  I can not get 
  NT4 machines to print to it, most troublesome is our NT4 TS.  All Win2K machines print with no 
  trouble.  You see the print job show as 
  spooling then it vanishes and I get an entry in the Event log saying zero bytes, 1 page printed, when it did 
  not.  I had the same when it was directly 
  connected to an NT4 works station.  HP's tech support have been no help.
