Hi im new to the group and hope someone can help.
I am trying to setup a simple (unsecure!) PPTP VPN between an XP Pro
machine and a 2K domain through a Watchguard firebox (It provides the
authenication). The other day i setup the client connection and then
walked across the street to starbucks. I could connect just fine,
could ping/sync outlook, etc. That day i tried from my house. It
didnt work. The progess showed that it connected just fine, but when
i looked at the LAN Status it showed that it was sending packets like
normal, not receiving them. It got to about 500 Packets received and
stopped--but kept sending.
I thought it over and figured out one difference. When the VPN
connection worked, the computer wasnt shutdown, it went into
hibernation. I was in the office connected to the domain.
When i tried it from home the computer was completely off. I turned it
on and tried the VPN with no luck.
I figure that its a DNS issue but am unsure whats going on.
thanks!
That is not a DNS issue. DNS resolves names to IP addresses or reverse.
It's probably a Watchguard issue. I've noticed using one of my customer's
Watchguard, that if I try to reconnect after just disconnecting, it will not
let me back in right away. I have to wait a time out period, but forget how
long. It's a security precaution from what I learned.
Are you the network admin? If not, what do they say about it?

Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
