I have a Sonicwall 1260Pro firewall set up, and we have been successfully
using Sonicwall's Global VPN Client up until recently.

Now a notebook computer off site can access a workstation onsite (using
NetMeeting) by connecting to the Internet using Dial-up networking and
coming in through the VPN.

However, if they have a wired network connection to the Internet, or a
wireless connection, they can get through our firewall via the VPN, but not
connect to the workstation. They just get the message that the other
computer can't accept a NetMeeting call.

What should I be looking for?


I am guessing this is something in your Network/VPN setup -- unrelated to
NetMeeting. Likely whatever address you are using the access the
workstation is invalid or the workstation is just not accessible via that
network path.

I am not sure what "coming in through the VPN" means in the case of dial up
-- is this using a standard dial up ISP?
