Cannot change network over the VPN connection components

Hi all

I set up a VPN in windows XP Service Pack 3 with all latest updates.  When I display the properties of the VPN connection, there is a tab labeled "Networking".  When I click on the tab networking that I get an error message pop up that says: "Unable to allow the editing of networkingcomponents at the moment because they are being modified elsewhere."  I restarted and also tried to search and stop the services dealing with virtual private networks, etc. nothing works.

Can someone help me troubleshoot or identify what prevents me to change my network layout tab?  There is virtually no information on the internet addressing it.

Thanks in advance!

  • Cannot use Internet on the VPN connection

    Hello

    I used a cisco customer version 4.0.3 installed on my laptop to connect to the VPN server.

    When my VPN client is connected to a remote VPN server via a wired LAN to my site office, I can't use the Internet at the same time. I have him this might not be possible unless "split tunnel" is allowed in the side server. When I connect to the server via the Wi - Fi network in the same office, I can use the Internet. It made me confused, so I checked the IP address of my network bridge by using the command 'ipconfig '. He showed the two IPS 10.100.128.1 and 10.100.128.2 for the wireless network connection and a single IP 10.69.225.70 for the wired network connection.

    How can you explin the situation of the two above? Two default gateways allowed me to use the Internet when my client is connected to the server through the network wi - Fi? The disable "split tunnel" function in the server VPN has blocked me form using the Internet, the connection to the server via the cable network? I don't think so. Why?

    When my client is connected to the VPN server over the network domestic Wi - Fi home that has only a single default gateway, 192.168.0.1. I have no problem with the use of the Internet. How can you explain this bizarre situation? I really want to use Internet through a wired network and wireless at the other site office who have only one gateway respectively. Could you explain that?

    Thank you very much... Jae

    You are welcome, I hope we can fix it all.

    ComboFix set malware entries that could corrupt your browser for a malfunction. WinSockFix to fix corruptions that may have caused by the VPN software. But I'm not a type of corruption is likely to not do not work and https http to work.

    Now, let me understand the current issue. You cannot connect to the internet even the VPN is disconnected correct?

    I have a few questions and need of some outputs of diagnosis

    (1) I think that you are in a hotel. Using wireless? Can it be quota restrictions by the hotel management?

    2) connect via VPN. You have established the connection, my neighbors network at the office with the right button > properties. Now, right-click of Cisco VPN Adapter, and then click on repair. And then disconnect your VPN client

    (3) once you disconnect a VPN, do the repair, even for your Local network connection or a wireless connection. The VPN is disconnected, run the following in the command line

    Nslookup

    www.Google.com

    then run

    tracert 64.156.132.140

    then run

  • hp 8600 printer cannot be contacted over the network and the printer is not enabled.

    hp 8600 printer cannot be contacted over the network and the printer is not enabled.

    the HP software installed on the PC on the floor. Print wireless from PC upstairs and the PC in the basement on the network for the last month up to yesterday

    Now to receive above - two error messages cannot be contacted ove RL network and the printer is turned off.

    Reality - the printer IS on and the PC on the floor can print to the printer.  Network on the printer symbol says it is connected to the network.

    a reason any PC in the basement all the cant suddenly find the network and the printer?

    Hello

    The first thing I would do is follow step 6 in this document to set a static IP address: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02817031
    When it askes for the DNS information, enter in Google DNS. Preferred DNS = DNS Alt = 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8

    This could increase the stability of the network connection to the printer downstairs.  If this does not help, let me know what OS is on the computer causing problem, because that could cause a problem?  Other than that, you can check the quality of the signal you get form the network and see if this can be a problem.

  • printer cannot be contacted over the network

    I have a HP deskjet 656 printer that I added as a network printer. I installed it on my computer laptop windows 7, which went well. However it does not print. The touble shooter printer tells me to 'the printer cannot be contacted over the network. It works from another laptop I have but not my laptop Windows 7.

    I had a similar problem with my new Windows 7 laptop. After a power failure, the laptop would not recognize my HP printer and the error was that "the printer cannot be contacted over the network" so I spent a lot of time to solve the problem. Finally helped the simplest thing was that I removed this printer in my list of printers and added again using the "Add a printer" Wizard and it worked perfectly!

  • Unable to connect to computers via Remote Desktop on the VPN connection.

    I have a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory network. Connect you to it remotely using an appliance, Sonicwall TZ170 VPN/Firewall DHCP pointing our internal DHCP server so we do not use the Sonicwall DHCP over VPN.

    The area has been recently rebuilt completely charge and the VPN connection was stronger than it has ever been when connecting to computers on our network for the first 2 weeks. In the last few days, however, people had problems connecting on our desktop computers. They can connect to some but not to others, and in the case of a person who needs in particular access to a computer, it can not connect to it all.

    I don't think it's a VPN issue but something to do with the DHCP/DNS/domain controller server. However, I am not able to locate the problem.

    In the past, this same thing was a problem before I took over. We had just a matter to the inconsistency of the connection until I thought I had solved the problem (however short-lived the fix was) with the refurbishment of the domain controller.

    Customers are a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7.

    Any ideas? I will provide all the information I can.

  • die remote desktop during the VPN connection

    I by office remote access to a server that is connected by the Cisco VPN client to other servers, but when I connect the VPN, the sector of remote desktop, if I have this connection loose and cannot work.

    That's what I should do, but when the VPN connects, my remote desktop connection matrix:

    |***|                                    |***|                     |***|

    |__|  --> Remote Desktop--> | __ |   --> VPN --> |__|

    me server1 server2

    I can't VPN to server2 directly, I have to go through Server1, but I can't.

    Javier,

    When VPN appears on server1, then all traffic get dug in the client [including the remote desktop session].

    ===> You need a split-mining policy which aims to exclude the IP address of your customer

  • How to force validation after lost the VPN connection

    Hello

    I did a lot of loading via a VPN connection. That lasted a few hours. Unfortunately the VPN connection has been lost. When you reconnect the VPN connection and connect in the scheme, I don't see all the data. Perhaps the transaction pending and was waiting to be engaged.

    Is it possible to tell the schema, "commit all pending transactions?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If your connection to the database has been lost, your session would have been rolled once the database realized he didn't have the client process. There was therefore no transaction on hold to commit at this stage.

    I don't think that there is a parameter that would indicate Oracle to automatically post transactions when the client process is dead - if there were, it would be extremely dangerous, since there is no guarantee that the data is in a consistent state to the point that the customer fails.

    Why are you doing a batch load via a VPN connection, probably from your desktop? Would be unwise to copy the data that you are trying to load a server in the same local network as the database and run the load it? In addition to being much more efficient, it is much easier to leave a job for some time on a server that it should keep a connection from your laptop computer for several hours.

  • How to start the VPN connection when windows is running

    Original title: trouble with automatically the VPN connection

    Hi, I want to have my VPN connection to start automatically when windows is running.

    Simple version:
    I tried various different methods, including; Paste the shortcut in the startup folder and adding the task in the Task Scheduler.

    I have the same problems with both methods. Just the VPN starts automatically... I have to run it manually whenever I turn on the computer or wake up sleep mode.
    Does anyone know other methods finally a solution for the other two methods?
    In the version of the depth of the problems:

    Method of Task Scheduler: I get argument is not valid, it is even after I have successfully created the task and click OK. The task will not work, and also by some strange reason, my VPN password is not get recorded on my connection more. So now, I need to manually start the connection and type in the password. (I click on save the password whenever this does not work, when the task is active...)

    Shortcut to the startup directory: Simple and easy... It simply doesn't get it. I followed the steps very carefully and I'm 100% sure that I did it the right way...

  • Establish the VPN connection before the user logged

  • Once the VPN connection is established, cannot ping or you connect other IP devices

    Try to get a RV016 installed and work so that people can work from home.  You will need to charge customers remote both WIN XP and MAC OS X.

    Have the configured router and works fine with the VPN Linksys client for WIN XP users.  Can connect, ping, mount the shared disks, print to printers to intellectual property, etc.

    Can connect to the router fine with two VPN clients third 3 for Mac: VPN Tracker and IPSecuritas.  However, once the connection is established, cannot ping the VPN LinkSYS router or any other IP address on the LAN Office.  Turn the firewall on or off makes no difference.

    Is there documentation anywhere that describes how the LinksysVPN for Windows Client communicates so these can be replicated in 3rd VPN clients from third parties for the Mac in OS X?

    The connection with IPSecuritas and VPN Tracker is performed using a shared key and a domain name.  It is not a conflict of IP address network between the client and the VPN 192.168.0.0/24 network.

    VPN Tracker and IPSecuritas are able to connect to the routers CISCO easy VPN with no poblem.

    Any ideas on how to get the RV016 to work for non-Windows users?

    We found and fixed the problem, so using VPN Tracker or current IPSecuritas on OS X people have access to the LAN via the RV016 machines. The "remote networks" in the screen BASE in VPN Tracker has been set on the entire subnet: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 the in the RV016 has been set to the IP of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 range. Even if the addresses are essentially the same, without specifying the full subnet in the RV016 has allowed the connection to do but prevented the VPN client machine to connect because the RV016 would pass all traffic to the Remote LAN. Change the setting of 'local group' in RV016 settings in the screen "VPN/summary/GroupVPN', 'Local Group Zone' for the subnet 192.168.0.0/24 full solved the problem.

  • Cannot access microsoft over an internet connection by using the proxy to the office

    Recently I can no longer access the Web site from microsoft, or support for microsoft over an internet connection in my office who uses a proxy server, so that the automatic systems update windows could not work well, and the bases of microsoft security might not regularly to update the definitions of viruses and spyware.
    However, if I use an internet modem usb connection, then all problems can be solved, in my laptop, which means no protection of microsoft access. But when I use the internet connection via a USB modem, I can't connect to the local network in my office.

    I already check on the filter of the proxy server and there is no protection of access to microsoft.
    Why this happens and what I can do to get access to microsoft through the Internet using a proxy server in my office?
