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?


Yes I meant using a standard dial up ISP. That works, but using any
motel's wireless or wired connection does not allow us to connect - even
though I can see that they have successfully created a VPN tunnel.

Thanks
