VPN connection Works on my client not on another...states "no answer"

[Sp0ck]

When he connects, he gets the error "no answer!" This is driving me nuts because I can't find any solutions relating to this error. What's more, I tried to recreate the error by disabling my clients access to 1723 and gre in the firewall and can connect with NO problem still!! I then blocked my own IP and can STILL get in! I can't get in through PC anywhere now though!!Sheesh. Anyone on ideas??

W2k VPN server svc pack 3, 450mhz, 256k ram. I am running XPand can get ing fine. Fella running w2k client can't get through.

i assume you checked all his protocols and such

almost sounds like he's trying to connect with a protocol you ahve disabled in RRAS

what about remote acccess policies, are they set up correctly? in otehr words, does any of his groups have a remote acccess policy assigned to them?

Thanks BWilson for the reply. I will double check his protocols though, thank you. The policies I know are correct because I made him a member of only one group to make things less difficult right now.

got ya

im sure you've done this too, but have you tried to change him to IPSec if hes using PPTP currently or vice versa to see if that makes a connection

 

[Sp0ck]

Actually, I have not tried this but it is another option. I will let you know.

 

[Sp0ck]

I figured it out. He had given me an incorrect IP and he was being blocked from the firewall.

Isn't that funny, well not really. Sometimes you think it is a big elaborate problem.
