Re: vpn 800 (so many people, so much research)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Your external nic should have 192.168.16.2 listed for its dns. You
enter the isp dns when you run the connect to the internet wizard. I
have on occasion had to blow out and reinstall the dhcp settings. Not
on SBS installs but on plain jane Server 2003 where the dhcp got
goofy. You should not have comcast listed at all.

This is a valid and "proper" config.

Your dhcp is bound to the internal nic and only the internal nic? dhcp
server name/Properties/Advanced/Bindings.

You have options 003, 006, 015, 044, 046 choosen? Look at these
setting which might be wrong but you should get these added back if
you delete and reinstall.

I have sbs2003, not with ISA (actually, I have the license& disc but haven't
installed it yet, a year later)

I have lost the ability to connect to my SBS remotely via vpn

recently, I had a blackout, (always fun, in my house many things beep when
the power goes out)
so at 1-2am I went and shutdown my server & pc's & ups.s in the home office.

next AM I turned everything back on.. and I lost the ability to vpn to my
server from remote (8 miles away) among other things.. everything else is
now restored,
but my vpn connection continues to fail with a 800 message.

I've rerun ceicw, and tried the process of disabling RRAS, configuring it to
run both VPN and nat and renabling

I''ve checked my broadband ISP supplied modem/router (smc) and my server IP
and it is DMZ from the internet to my server
(so I don't think it is my router not passing the gre 47 protocol through)
my fixed IP's are the same.

I cannot use the sbs/remote download package to test as the remote PC is
running xp64 and the package won't run "not for this cpu architecture"
looking from the server, I can confirm at canyouseeme.org that port 1723 is
accepting traffic

the only error I have found, that MAY be connected, is a weird error in my
system log:
I have not figured out how to fix it

192.168.116.2 for the dhcp allocator-- should be 16.2 and I can't find
where to change that at all.

as it's often asked for, I'm including a copy of my ipconfig /all at the
very bottom,

it's worth noting I did originally screw up in setting the system, and DHCP
is set work on my
internet connection because of this, I have always hard coded the ip's on my
devices as I added
them to the lan...I never bothered going through the ringamorle of moving
it.
