Re: Can't ping PPTP VPN client.

I think it is an XP SP2 issue.

I had another person connect in, and I could access their PC.
But I still couldn't connect to most VPN users.

I am assuming that their SP2 firewall is in Non-Domain mode before VPNing in.
The catch is that if I open up more access in their Non-Domain firewall settings, there is no point having the firewall at all.

I have to fix something for someone overseas and I do not get to use my normal tools. :-(

I guess I will have to make a https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/HelpDesk/Home.aspx account.

Sure, you may be able to ping the VPN client. It depends on how and what VPN you setup. I would check the firewall first.

I am not sure what changed or how long ago it was since it worked.

I have a Windows Server 2003 RRAS setup. (I just put SP1 on to see if it would fix it)
Clients can VPN in with no problem and access shares, Exchange, etc.

I, on my LAN, can not ping the VPN clients.
I am positive that I used to be able to access them before.

Does anyone know of a setting or patch that addresses this?

It seems as though the RRAS service is either only returning replies back to the clients, or the Server is not responding to ARP
requests for the VPN clients.
