Connection Problem
----------
All,
Can anyone
help me. I am having
problems connecting to my
office server
(NT4
using BT ADSL) from my
home pc (Windows XP on
NTL Cable Modem). I
can
connect to the
office server fine,
getting three
statements
1.
Connecting to My VPN
Connection
2.
Verifying username and
password
3.
Registering your computer
on the
network
Then in
the system tray, I get
the message saying that I
am
successfully
connected
. I can even call up the
connection properties,
which show that
3,097
bytes have been sent and
64 have been
received.
All good
so far. The problem is
that I can run an
ipconfig and get the
IP
settings. These
all seem fine, and the
VPN connection appears.
One thing
that does
concern me is that the
subnet mask is set to be
255.255.255.255 on
the
VPN, whereas the network
on the office end is
255.255.255.0. Is this
a
conflict with my
local subnet
(255.255.255.0) causing
it to adjust?
The
results of an
ipconfig command are as
follows :

Now
the fun starts.
My
internet access then goes
down. Then after 43
seconds (always exactly
43
seconds!) the VPN
connection terminates
saying that it failed.
Then
internet access
comes back
up.
During the
glorious 43 seconds where
I appear to be connected,
I cannot ping
any of
the machines on the
office lan (including the
server I am
connecting
to!). The
server at the office
records that I have
logged in
and
disconnected over
a VPN
connection.
Any
suggestions?
TIA
