Re: need to allow a VPN connection from inside SBS environment



Hello Jon,

Thank you for posting back!

>From your reply, I understand that you cannot make any configuration on the
laptop, so we cannot ask you to set up VPN connection on the Windows XP
workstation. Based on my research, the error message "The secure Contivity
VPN connection has been lost. Click connect to reestablish the connection."
is produced by Nortel.

I suggest that contact Nortel vendor to see whether they can assist on this
issue, as we do not have Nortel database here.

I am greatly appreciated your time and understanding, and am sorry for any
inconvenience brought to you! If you need any assistance regarding the SBS
server, please feel free to post back. We are glad to be working with you
again!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
