Re: ISA 2004 problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Does the home PC have an IP of 192.168.0.x? People have reported problems
with VPN when their home network uses the same subnet as the SBS. (Not
referring to the PPP adapter IP, but rather the NIC on the home PC).

I've seen an issue where the Windows firewall on the PC you're trying to RDP
into was using the non-domain settings rather than the domain settings.
However, this would block access from remote -> SBS -> client just as it
does remote -> client, so I don't see how that could be it. Still, you
could just check the Windows Firewall settings on a client PC. Make sure
that on the General page, it says it's using the Domain Settings. Then on
Exceptions, make sure the Remote Desktop exception is enabled and that the
scope is set to Any. You can always turn on firewall logging to check that
as a cause.

You could also re-run the Configure Remote Access wizard from the Internet
page of the SBS Console. I'm having a hard time figuring out how ISA could
be allowing VPN to the SBS but not to the other PCs, but I'm not coming up
with much else in the way of brilliant insight, and it won't hurt anything
to run it again.

The error message:
The client could not connect to the remote computer.
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy
to accept new connections.
It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection.
Please try connecting again later. If the problem continue to occur,
contact your administrator.


I cannot ping to the workstation, but from the local lan yes.
When I connect to the SBS

The ppp adapter gets an ip of the local lan of the sbs.

PPP adapter DOMAIN:

Any idea?

Is this right? You connect the VPN successfully. At that point, you can
RDP to the server but not to the workstations. If you RDP into the
server, you can then RDP out to the workstations? And the workstations
are accepting RDP connections from within the LAN?

Is your IP addressing on the SBS network using a different subnet than
the remote client PC? If not, try changing the remote PC to a different
subnet.

What's the specific error when RDP to the client PC fails?

From The lan I can connect to any workstation or any server.

If the VPN is connecting normally and, after getting connected, you can
RDP to the server, the issue would appear not to be ISA. Can you
connect to the workstations using RDP from within the LAN? I'd be
thinking user permissions, RDP settings on the workstation, or Windows
Firewall. (Win Firewall should not block RDP if you're using the
default GPO installed with SBS, and if CP -> Windows Firewall shows
that the firewall is using the Domain Settings).

Hi

I have SBS 2003 with ISA 2004 on it. The ISA act as FW and publishing
server, the server has 2 NIC's.

When I connect to the server with VPN and try to connect to the server
with RDP everything is ok, but when I try to connect to a workstation
in the network via RDP or PCanywhere I cannot get to it.

When I try to connect to a workstation via RDP from the SBS server I
can get to the WS.

Any idea?

Than'x
Shay
