|    Problem with VPN    |
|    11 Aug 04 17:22:00    |
      From: goober@christian.net              I have a user who just signed up for Bellsouth Fastconnect DSL.              We use the native VPN in Windows XP professional on his PC in order to       connect to our system. He uses Outlook 2003 & Internet Explorer when       connected to our system.              When VPN is set up, it's a garden variety install, taking default settings       after specifying our vpn server name.              He can connect, and outlook functions fine. However, the problem is       Internet Explorer.              Once he's connected via VPN to our system, Outlook works fine, he can see       public folders and everything he should see. However, the problem is       getting to our website. He cannot access our website by it's external name.       If he tries, he doesn't even get the NT Challenge Response box - it just       goes straight to a DNS error on the web browser.              If he tries connecting using the server name (not the external web server       name), it works fine.              If he disconnects from VPN, if he tries our external web server name, it       works fine there also.              That made me think that the problem was VPN and NOT the web browser, since       it'd work outside of VPN.              We have 1 other user who has a similar problem, and have not been able to       resolve either of them. Both users have the proper permissions, and they       are the same as about a hundred other users. Getting to our website from       internally using the external web address name works fine for everyone else.              I checked to see if he had a stray DNS or WINS in his setup, and he didn't.       It was the same as mine, which works exactly as it should.              Any ideas????              Help!!              BC              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
