About 18 months ago I got a VPN working between some laptops and the Netgear FVS318v3. I could happily check emails, view documents etc etc.
Last September the main login server crashed. An outside company got it back but it went terminal over the Christmas period. New servers installed 03 (Exchange 2007) and 05 Data, profiles, home drives and print server.
I changed the IP range of the company when the new servers went in to 192.168.0/24
Most of it was back up and running after a couple weeks. That left the VPN to reconfigure.
The servers are Dell 2900 with redundant PSU and Dual network cards in each. Each card is given it own IP address, 192.168.0.2 and 3 for 05 and 192.168.0.4 and 5 for 03.
I've still to find out how both the interfaces react with the network. Who/what controls the fall over.
The old VPN was setup using a LMHOSTS file, with each server having an entry in LMHOSTS. This worked great when each server only had one IP address.
I've reconfigured the Prosafe VPN client software and can connect into the FVS318v3.
I have a HOSTS file with the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.2 05
192.168.0.3 05
192.168.0.4 03
192.168.0.5 03
I can ping all the IP address, I can ping the server names (only the first entries respond)
If I try and issue a net view \\03 I get and System 3 error. If I net view the IP address I get the same error.
Net view \\05 gives me
Shared resources at \\05
Share name Type Used as Comment
-----------------------------------
users Disk
The command completed successfully.
There should be all the shares available.
Net view \\ip address for each card gives me a system 5 error.
The laptop I'm using was just put on the network today. I logged in using three accounts, one domain administrator, one user account and another account in the domain admin group. All three accounts let me view the shares and the files I'm supposed to see. I'm logged on as the domain admin as I type this.
What is really confusing me is that earlier I could connect to the shares using the IP address of one of the networks cards on 05 and I can connect to OWA using both IP addresses and and apart from a certificate problem it works.
I can use remote desktop onto both the servers over the VPN no problem
I don't know it the Servers are swapping the active network card over and that is causing the VPN error.
It can't be access because all the accounts have privileges to access the network.
Can anyone think of any reason why this happening and how to get round this?
Many thanks for reading this, any help would be most appreciated.
