Terminal Server/Remote Desktop connection over VPN?

I'm trying to connect to my server at work through the Jasjar's Terminal Services Client over a VPN and it's not working. The VPN connects and I can open up a web site on the server using an internal address, but the Terminal Services Client just times out. I can connect with the Terminal Services Client to other servers without using the VPN and I can connect through the VPN with a PC, so I don't know what's wrong. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett

are you using internal dns name or internal ip, if dns the ip should work and its cos your not internally resolving, i have this prob with when i vpn in to my server, dns does eventually resolve but ip is instant

Is the vpn terminal services restricted by IP address? Are you using gprs or wifi? If gprs maybe the ip range is not set up on the vpn??? If using gprs are you using the apn internet3.voicestream.com?
Sorry, I know, not much help. Mine seems to work

I'm trying to connect by IP address over wifi. The Jasjar does recognize that it should go over the VPN because it will automatically make the VPN connection when I try to start the TSC connection.
I'm glad to hear that it's working for you guys, though, so at least I know it's possible.
Thanks,
Brett

TSC/RDP
I am also having difficulty in this area and havent been able to resolve when using WIFI from my AP at home over ADSL to the Public IP address, then a TSC/RDP connection to the internal network IP address of our TS box.
I can easily get to the TS box via the WIFI AP at work directly, just not from the home AP. I can easily use the home AP for my home laptops to connect to work, so I know the systems at both end are up and operational.
In summary, I just dont know why the JJ doesnt VPN via the home AP over the ADSL to public IP to use the TSC to the internal IP of the TS box.

I just wanted to follow up on this. For some reason both of the servers I was trying to RDP into behind the firewall were in some wierd state and they weren't accepting any connections from anything but my desktop PC. I rebooted them today and that solved the problem I was having.
Thanks,

XDA Exec issue WiFi and DHCP

I have a SuSE 9.3 machine which has a wireless card configured and installed, it acts as a wireless router and has DHCP configured and installed.
What I am trying to do is to get my Exec to connect and use the Linux machine as its DHCP, DNS and gateway server.
I also have a laptop with a wireless card installed running Win2000 Pro.
My problem is this, my laptop is configured fine, it is assigned an IP adress correctly and can connect to the internet via the Linux gateway.
My Exec does not. My Exec told me it had found a new network, which was the SSID of the network card I had configured. I edited the settings so that the Exec knew that Shared authenticatin is used and gave the passkey, the Exec is assigned an IP address, but it is not in the range of IP's that I have specified to be allocated to DHCP clients.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas?
EDIT
One after thought, what level of encryption does the WiFi on the Exec use for the passkey? is it possible to change this?

Try this, its needed to get JJ to connect to a win2k3 share, the same may apply for dhcp, not sure, worth a go
--Universal can't connect to Windows Server 2003--
Cant map to a Windows 2003 Server share? Is it also a Domain Controller? Check the server for
start / programs / administraton tools / Domain Controller Security Policy
Then check Local Policies / Security Options :
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always)
change to disabled
ohh and 128 bit works a treat

Try using Open authentication in place of shared. This is the Linux default.

DNS no server specified error on all wifi activity - HTC Wizard

i must have jacked something up. first i could not get a wifi connection at home, then i flashed the firmware on the device and asked it to use the mac to connect with static IP and now the pda browsers cannot get any DNS info
netfront states no dns server specified and wireless router log states DHCP Discover no response.
must be a setting somewhere i'm missing.
wireless laptop and wired pc working fine

you can really just use the ip of a known dns from the device too
all dns servers should respond from all devices asking for the ip given the hostname

setup
cable modem to wired linksys router (DHCP on) - DI-524 wireless router connected to wired router (DHCP on)
when you say 'known IP from device' you mean the wireless router? Do you mean have the wireless router give the PDA my ISP's DNS IP?
if so what happens to my ability to browse the LAN since the devices IP is now out of the scope of my LAN

SORRY I THINK I MEAN the error is
<< DNS Discovery no repsonse. >>>
basically no DNS server found when browsing with the PDA when connected to WLAN.
PDA is ok browsing when I connect to work routers. I'm getting IP ok from home wireless dlink router but router cannot give the PDA a DNS server.
ps- wireless laptop ok for DNS connecting to the same wireless router so i'm thinking the firmware update made the dlink not like the PDA

update- i think it's the device and a setting.
now i cannot get to the internet through netfront or ie at work connected to wifi router. same error
DNS no server is specified

can get anything by IP, is wm5 wifi challenged for internet access?
any takers?

Cisco VPN + WM6 Internet Sharing?

Anyone get these two to play nice together?
Details:
Cisco PIX 501e at the office
WM6 3g phone (HTC TyTn II)
vista/xp laptop (working properly on either would be great right now )
VPN setup on the pix is, i believe, fine. I could be wrong tho, i set it up by trial and error + reading the manual having never even touched a cisco device before
It works tho and has worked flawlessly for months now with Cisco VPN Client on XP or Vista machines.
Old phone was WM5 and used the clunky and annoying modem emulator to enable a laptop to use it to connect to intarwebs in the middle of nowhere, this was great and after faffing about getting it setup worked fine (required you to be logged in as administrator on vista tho :\ and not just a user account with admin privileges, actually administrator. Annoying.)
New phone is WM6 and uses internet sharing to connect with a laptop, this is a much better solution with no faffing about in vista and XP
Problem: Cisco VPN client connects to the pix through Internet Sharing on the phone just fine, however no traffic gets through.
Cannot ping, web browse, dns, rdc or anything to the network at work. Tried with Cisco VPN client v4.6.00.0049 and v5.0.01.0600 on XP and v5.0.00.0340 on Vista, none work.
This sucks
Now, i know its not a problem with the laptop or the vpn software on the laptop as these work fine when connected over ethernet or wifi.
Its not a problem with the phone's 3g connection, i installed a trial of bluefire vpn client onto it and that connects to the vpn and works just fine when the phone is in standalone mode.
However for the life of me i cannot get the two bloody things to work together.
Plz halp

Hi,
Often times, the inability to ping a local host (computers or other connected devices e.g router, hardware firewall, printer, PPC, etc) or hosts, is due to the firewall not allowing traffic through the router. It can also be that the hosts are incorrectly configured to be on different subnets, even though they are local, as in your own case.
Proceed as follows to troubleshoot:
a). Ping the router
Note that the idea is to see if we can establish communication with the router or hardware firewall such as the Pix.
At command prompt (c:\>) type:
ping 192.168.0.1
(each router manufacturer uses a different default internal IP address for its router) - the one above is for a Netgear or D-Link router - for a Cisco router, you would need to know the Cisco IOS command - see your router manual for this.
b). ipconfig /all
Note: there is a space before the forwardslash.
When it returns the parameters, check to see that the IP addresses are all on the same subnet.
This is crucially important for you to take good note. If you are not able to ping a local host or gateway, it's most likely due to this.
c). Ping the Pix Firewall (using its IP address)
d). Ping a remote IP address, e.g. your ISP's gateway or DNS server
e). Is there traffic? If it returns successfully, then ping the other hosts, including the VPN client.
Pix Firewall
Check to see that the Access Control List is configured correctly by ensuring that the IP addresses of the connected hosts have been entered, with the relevant access rights.
Router
Log on to the router. Whilst there:
Ensure that the hosts (computers, etc) are all on the SAME subnet. If they are on different subnets, you must correct the IP addresses to reflect that they are on the same subnet.
Note: If you do really want them to be on different subnets, then you need to use a default gateway.
Hope this helps.

[Q] DHCP superscope and Android

Hi All
been struggling with this issue for a while.
I am connecting my Samsung Galaxy S based Android GingerBread 2.3.2 to a complexed LAN Environment
the DHCP server has a SuperScope:
while the DHCP server is in a 100.100.0.0/24
it gives IP addresses in 100.100.1.0/24
I.E.:
IP 100.100.1.75
SM 255.255.255.0
GW 100.100.0.254
while by default it wont allow browsing A Cisco router allowing the device to route between subnets and to the web through the Router (GW)
It is working just fine for many PC's, Macs and Iphones.
After connecting with Wifi , and recieving an IP address I cannot reach anything out of my 100.100.1.0/24 subnet
If i set a static IP in 100.100.0.0/24 (say 100.100.0.75) it will function perfectly.
I know Iphones had this problem in OS 3.x.x and it was solved in OS 4.x.x
I can modify anything i want in the DHCP server or in the Android device
Any Idea anyone?
