Assuming you're actually using PPTP in the MS VPN client then you could telnet the VPN server's IP on the port PPTP uses: 1723 Example (from command prompt): telnet <server's IP> 1723 If it works with the server's IP but not by its name then it's probably just name resolution. If you get a...

Note: I could be wrong so please correct me if you know better. Looks like there's an .MDB file and some registry values that would need to be present on the XP system for this to work. I have support tools installed on my XP system and I don't get an MMC snap-in for RRAS, nor will it run if...

Sounds to me like somewhere along the line ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is getting blocked. Windows has a way to block ICMP on the network adapter if you go into the advanced properties of IP(TCP/IP). This is also a common feature found in most firewalls. Tracert and ping both use...

I have a DB with some serious problems, I can't free up space with ESEUTIL /D...defrag function errors out. ESEUTIL /P freezes up @ 50% through the "Repairing damaged tables" phase and never completes the repair. I don't know when this corruption began and at this point I'm starting to think...

Yeah DNS is key for AD operation. Depending on the link it might be a good idea to set up a DC in the remote office if you get slow logons...you also might want to streamline DHCP services by using MS DHCP to have your sites nicely organized and centrally managed - the Linksys isn't going to...

Sorry...I don't know too much about this particular config but I believe I know enough about how AD and Remote Access work to help you down the road to answering your own question. Microsoft defines Remote Access as follows: After the client has been identified and authorized, access to the...

I wouldn't bother with setting up a costly VPN solution if you're just a few trying to securely access systems at the office. With a little savvy and effort you can set up a secure solution for this using the equipment/resources you already have. I would set up VNC on different ports on each...

If that telnet command is failing then port 1723 traffic is blocked or there is a general problem with IP connectivity on that machine...hence all the firewall questions. As I said before if the machine works once the Cisco client is gone then there's probably something going on with the Cisco...

A 720 error tells me that you're probably either not getting IP connectivity/DNS resolution when disconnected from the Cisco client or something is blocking some connectivity required to establish the PPTP connection...probably traffic on 1723 since we're talking PPTP. This info could be...

RDP! Unless I misunderstand it sounds like you're looking for Terminal Services. Terminal Services would be your best bet for dealing with connection slowness or getting around the "cloud" effectively. The only concern I'd have would be the licensing, which, if you're talking about the Office...

You probably just need to stop the Cisco VPN service before you will be able to make PPTP connections with the native MS VPN client. I just ran into this problem the other day and wrote batch scripts using the net start/stop commands to easily control the service: net stop cvpnd --and--...
