Re: VPN Newbie Question

Thanks Terence,

Maybe the problem I am having is because is because my laptop in not Vista Business, does that matter? I am using Vista Home Premium, I do have an established connection and IP from the server. Thanks.

Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Cliff for the input.

According to your description, I understand that you unable to logon SBS
after you establish the VPN connection from remote client to your hardware
firewall. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let
me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

Suggestions:
1. As you establish the VPN from remote client to your hardware firewall,
you need to run your SBS 2003 with single NIC. That because you have
hardware firewall before the SBS, we do not need to run the SBS 2003 with
double NICs, and we unable to connect SBS from its external NIC after you
establish VPN connection. If you run SBS with double NICs, please disable
the external NIC, then run the CEICW.

2. After you make SBS to run with single NIC, please run the CEICW as
following:

Go through the follow KB and rerun CEICW carefully.

How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825763

Detailed steps to run CEICW for your reference:

One network adapter - manual router connection to broadband
a. On the Connection Type page, click Broadband, and then click Next.
b. On the Broadband Connection page, under My server uses, click A local
router device with an IP address, and then click Next.
c. On the Router Connection page, next to Preferred DNS server and next to
Alternate DNS server, type the IP addresses that are provided by your ISP.
In the Local IP address of router box, type the IP address of the router
that the server uses to connect to the router.
d. Click to select the My server uses a single network connection for both
Internet access and the local network check box, and then click Next.
e. A message may appear that warns that the firewall that is provided
cannot be configured. You are offered a chance to view information about
configuration settings for an existing firewall device.
f. On the Network Connection page, click Server Local Area Connection
under the Connection Name.
g. Click Next.
h. Complete the Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

Gather information for further troubleshooting:

1. Can you ping SBS from remote client after VPN established?

2. Once the VPN connection is established, run command "ipconfig /all >
c:\ipconfig_client.txt" and "route print > c:\route_client.txt" on remote
client, send the files c:\ipconfig_client.txt and c:\route_client.txt to me
at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Can you connect the SBS via the application when you move your laptop to
LAN?

4. Gather MPS network report on SBS:

a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu (MSFT)

Hey Cliff,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have set up the VPN with IPSec, it
connects and all seems well. However I am not sure how to access anything
on the server, any suggestions? thanks

Watchguard fireboxes support PPTP and IPSec VPN's natively. I'd
recommend
setting up the VPN on the firebox (I've used both PPTP and IPSec for
this,
but PPTP doesn't require a 3rd party client) and then when you request a
resource on the server, you will be prompted for domain credentials that
you can enter. As far as the details of setting up VPN on a firebox,
you
should refer to your documentation for the firebox, as that has changed
between firebox models and whether you are running WFS, Fireware,
Fireware
Pro, etc.

Greetings,

Here is what I have. I have a WatchGuard Firebox Firewall, MS SBS
2003R
and I would like to be able to logon on from home to access server
resources through a VPN. I don't neccessarily want to logon to my
desktop at work, just the server. I have a client application on my
laptop that I want to connent against the server. I can establish the
VPN connection, but it does not pass off to the server requesting logon
credentials. Can someone give this newbie the lowdown on how to do
this?
Thanks.
