Remember that for a PPTP VPN server you must forward/open the TCP 1723 Port through a firewall or a router to the PC server is behind. You must also make sure that the firewall or the router will pass traffic GRE protocol 47 . This is sometimes called PPTP Pass Through or VPN Pass Through the firewall or the router. Windows Firewall automatically communicates the GRE protocol traffic if you make an Exception for the Port TCP 1723.

You can test it by running the test detailed in sections PPTP Ping and VPN traffic in this Cable Guy article.

You can download the tools, pptpsrv.exe and pptpclnt.exe to Microsoft or if you have an XP SP2 CD. To extract the programs on a PC Windows 7 open the CD and select open folder to view files in the AutoPlay window.

  • Connect to SQL Server using Windows authentication

    Allows us to connect to the SQLServer database via dblink using authentication SQL Server (Oracle 10 g DB on Windows server) HS, sqlserver db is moved to a new server and there it is configured to use Windows authentication only. Is it possible to use the dblink/HS with Windows authentication on the side of SQLServer? Oracle support answer is no, but I thought I'd ask around...

    Thank you!

    Published by: user11968137 on March 28, 2013 11:42

    Gateway for ODBC 10 g or 11g is supported only with SQL Server, not Windows authentication authentication.

    If your SQL Server is configured only for authentication on Windows, you have no other way to change the configuration of the SQL Server to support mixed Mode (Windows authentication and SQL Server authentication).

  • View 6 does not support the 2012 server as a host for the connection to the server operating system

    If I do some preparation work for a view upgrade 6.0 (from 5.3).  After skimming the documentation on the operating system for connecting servers, I notice that Server 2012 is not supported, but Server R2 2012 is.

    I can get it for the installation of "resolution of compatibility issues" for the installer, but rather, I don't throw a facility "not supported" in the production.

    Does anyone know the reasoning/logic behind this?

    Most clients use the R2 versions, it's the fundamental reason.

    The smaller support matrix, faster than we can make good QA on the targeted OS versions and this means that we can release the software more quickly.

  • Problem getting connected to the laptop running Windows 7 Epson SX515W wireless

    Hello.  Please can someone help me?  I recently bought a laptop with Windows 7.  I couldn't get my old printer to work with her, so I bought a new wireless all-in-one (Epson SX515W) I tried to install the drivers from the CD, but when it gets to the part of the installation where you select the printer on the network, it comes up with the error message "NetSetUp has stopped working" and the installation hangs.  I tried to download the Windows 7 driver for the Epson site, but I still can't connect wireless to the printer.  I contacted Epson about 3 times now, and they can't help and told to believe that this is a problem with Windows.  Please can someone help. I'm not terribly technical interest.
    Barbara.

    NetSetup is an application of Epson.  See if it will run in compatibility mode or even better to avoid to use the application.  See if Epson has a basic print driver for the device that does not include a setup.exe that would be ideal.  Then just search for the device on the network and add the printer using the disk and point to the inf files and the installation of printer driver.

    Their application may fail if the device is not on the same subnet as the computer, but I guess that Epson would have already determined the status of the device on the network when they helped you.

  • How to change IP address of Agent connection on the server running?

    I have problem with the change of IP address of the agent as opensource Hyperic 4.0.2
    I changed the IP address of the agent system and after a reboot it show up on the dashboard for autodiscovery with note new IP address. I can open in Autodiscovery and click on 'OK '. So far so good. Can I browse the resources and find this platform and I'm taking the inventory. Now, it is not so good - I can see old IP address in 'properties Type and network '. I can add the new set IP address, mask of MAC manually and remove them manually the old IP address and it seems better. But the big problem is "Agent connection" field - it's still shows old IP agent. I run the query to change the IP address in the EAM_AGENT table for the corresponding id. It still shows the same old IP address in 'Agent connection' and it's drop-down list where I can't find the wiring is correct!
    Now, it's a way of communication - it seems that I get the measures defined previously, but I can't define new service to monitor. A quick test is to run live Exec 'df' command -, error message indicates that the server is trying to connect to the old IP address of the agent.
    I searched through all tables in database and it is not there. My guess is "cache". Is it possible to invalidate cache entries? Or hide it all?
    I restarted the Hyperic server, which is already bad in itself - why I have to restart the server if the broker IP address? This solved the problem with value of agent connection - now it shows the right IP address (it looked really as if it were in the cache), but it did not help too much. Now when I do ' live Exec - df "I get"unauthorized"error message. I have not deleted the directory of 'data' still on the side of the agent, but it seems a little too much work when the stockbroker IP address:
    -Restart agent
    -recognize the IP address change in the dashboard on HQ Server
    -to run the query to edit the EAM_AGENT table
    -(via user interface or through SQL query) remove old IP address manually and add a new IP address in the network platform properties
    -restart the server
    -delete data on the agent, and then restart the agent.

    Is there a better way to deal with it? I'm mainly looking for a workaround to restart the HQ server to change 'Agent connection. And blowing all directory data is not a good approach either - I have spent some time to add and configure the log files and services to monitor. If I understand correctly, it must be configured again.

    Hello

    normally execution of installation interactive on the Agent (HQ - agent.sh of installation) and recognizing changes in Autodiscover should suffice.
