Re: Unable to ping VPN Client

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have the same issue.
It appears to only be with XPSP2 clients.

I have to do more research, but my guess is that if they start their PC off Domain, they run the standard Firewall GPO, not the Domain Firewall GPO.
Starting the VPN does not reset the Firewall to the Domain Profile. (and if it did, I would hope it switches back to Standard when the VPN is terminated)

If that is the case, then I would have to open RDP, ping, SMS tools, etc in the Standard Firewall GPO; which would basically open up the machines when offsite.

Hopefully, they add a patch to the XP firewall that will have it recheck Domain connectivity whenever a VPN is started or stopped and change Profiles accordingly.

Hi,

Your scenario should work just fine.

Did you set up rules to allow traffic between the VPN network and the LAN / LocalHost?
