Windows Firewall is down all packets coming from a PPTP site to site VPN

I have a PPTP VPN site-to-site built with RRAS. The branch server is a Windows Server 2003, and the main Office Server is a Windows Server 2008 R2. Public profile Windows Firewall log shows that all packages of the branch are declining.

Curiously, I can access all the main office desktop computers.

The configuration is:

Main office:
Network address: 192.168.0.0/24
IP address of the server: 192.168.0.3/24

Branch:
Network address: 192.168.1.0/24
IP address of the server: 192.168.1.1/24

I guess that both tunnels are ok because RRAS shows that interfaces are connected. Each PPTP server interface receives an IP address assigned by remote RRAS.

There is no set of packet filters.
There are firewall rules allow ICMPv4 inbound and outbound traffic.

When I try to ping 192.168.0.3 from the Branch Office Server, Windows Firewall records in the log of public profile:

2011-09-28 16:10:44 DROP ICMP 192.168.0.102 192.168.0.3 - 0-0 0 - RECEIVE

where 192.168.0.102 is the address PPP assigned to the Head Office of RRAS.

Any help will be appreciated and very helpful.

Thank you.

  • While on internet, set Windows Firewall to 'block all '.

    Original title: Firewall Windows 'block all '.

    With the help of windows Firewall in Win7.

    Is there a way to easily set the firewall to 'Block All' (comings and goings) activity while I'm connected to the internet.

    I'm used to the use of 3rd party firewall and some have the choice of check "block all activity" on a right click of the icon 'taskbar '.

    I will use if go to leave the PC while on the net for more then a few seconds.

    I ask because firewalls 3rd party having this option does not work well with windows7.

    I don't want a process such as the control panel / advanced settings/unnecessary procedures / make / do that / go away/come back / freeze the system.

  • "due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display windows firewall settings" fixed but still can not visit some sites and the laptop now turns off the coast on me. What should I do?

    I have an Apire one laptop with Windows xp service pace 3. I had to restore it to factory about 3 years ago. Some time after that the sound system began to slow and the Synaptics mouse stop working properly. I can move the pointer, but the left click does not work. It works in safe mode but not in normal windows. I used the Acer eRecovery for correct, but it did not work. I tried to download the driver for the mouse on the internet, but some how it could stop the download. I gave up at tring to fix. Some time in late March or early April, I couldn't access internet and after 22:30. I ran the diagnosis that is provided by internet explore and he said that the HTTP and HTTPS worked but the FTP did not work. AVG later told me my firewall is disabled and there was the possibility to reactivate it and I did. After internet explore stop allowing you to enter certain sites that I wanted to enter, I ran the Diagnostics again and he told me that a firewall client has been the cause of the problem. I tried to control my firewall setting, but had that "due to a problem not identified, windows cannot display the firewall settings". I thought AVG was the problem, so I have unintalled then he returned and attempted to access the firewall but got the same message. I typed in Google MySapce and found this site. I followed a few directions given to others in the thread started by joecarpenter33 and discovered that my firewall has been deleted and Base filtering engine has been deleted also. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes ANti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and tdsskiller. MBAM has found a Trojan. The results of the analysis is less to:

  • Should I update all the files from the Toshiba site after using the recovery CD

    I just used my recovery CD and update the Windows Update System.

    The question is: should I update all files in the files on this site download section as well?

    Usually after using the Toshiba Recovery CD everything should works and works correctly
    To my knowledge from time to time Toshiba has released new version of some tools or drivers. For example the BT stack will be developed all the time.
    But I think that if you have any problems with your system and peripherals, then you don't need t to update anything.

  • Cannot ping sub interface from my remote site VPN gateways

    I can't ping my gateways to interface my remote vpn connection sub

    I can ping 192.6.1.0 network, but can't ping network 192.6.2.0 or 192.6.3.0

    When I remote desktop in 192.6.1.20 I can ping all the networks, including gateways to interface sub.

    I think that something in my asa is misconfigured or not added

    ASA NAT rules:

    Exempt NAT Interface: inside

    Source 192.6.0.0/16

    Destination 192.6.10.96/27

    Static NAT interface: inside (it's for the local NAT of E0/0 out)

    Source 192.6.1.1/16

    Interface translated outside the Destination: 172.35.221.200

    Dynamic NAT interface: inside

    Source: no

    Destination: outside

    ASA access rules:

    Permit outside

    Source: no

    Destination: out

    Services: udp, tcp, tcp/http

    Static routes:

    Interface: Outside > network: all outdoors DSL (shows no DSL in the graph)

    Some incorrect configuration:

    On the ASA:

    (1) directions are incorrect, the default should point to the next hop route, that is to say: the internet router: 172.35.221.x, as follows:

    Route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.35.221.x

    ---> where x must be the router internet ip address.

    existing routes need to be removed:

    No route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.298.47.182 255

    No route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.35.209.81 in tunnel

    (2) the following declaration of the static NAT is incorrect too and should be removed:

    static (inside, outside) USSLTA01_External USSLTA01 netmask 255.255.255.255

    --> You can not NAT interface on the SAA itself.

    (3) for the SAA within the interface's subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, no 255.255.0.0. It should be the same as the router interface subnet mask:

    interface Ethernet0/1

    nameif inside

    security-level 100

    IP 192.6.1.254 255.255.255.0

    (4) on the way to access these sub interfaces subnet on the SAA as follows:

    Route inside 192.6.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.6.1.235

    Route inside 192.6.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.6.1.235

    Route inside 192.6.4.0 255.255.255.0 192.6.1.235

    On the router, configure it by default route as follows:

    IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.6.1.254

  • On Windows 7, how can I get more flexibility with the Windows Firewall?

    Here's the situation.

    I use a laptop for work and home. To keep the separate thing, I use two different accounts: one that opens a session in the field of work and one that connects to the computer.
    The account that connects to the local computer has administrative privileges. Yet, when I go to configure the firewall at home, I get the message "For your security, some settings are managed by your system administrator." I'm unable to enable or disable the firewall, and even less to configure protocols or specific programs.
    It is worth noting that even by connecting the computer with the account named Administrator the same problem occurs.
    Leave the domain, then by restarting allows me all access to the commands of Windows Firewall (at least, all the ones I tried), but the message remains. The problem is that I have to go through the process of joining the domain when I return to work.
    I'd like to be able to do is connect to the domain with the account of work and at home, log on to the local computer and have full administrator rights (as a note, I've also noticed some restrictions file I could not go beyond, but it is secondary). What can I do to achieve this?

    The short answer is Yes, we can do it... but... I know that if I had this request made of me, my answer would be no because it is a company owned machine. Unless he was a great boss, of course, but even then, I'd probably push.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows XP SP3: Hang all night @ "Windows is shutting down"... "Start button / stop is my only option?

    I don't know where else to ask this... been going from one site to the other, books, etc., for hours looking for titles of threads that fit, but always leave out this something... medium or average power down.  do not use the power button, except if no other option out there.

    When I left my pc last night, everything seemed fine.  I decided to leave it on and not yet started to disconnect, etc..  Not sure if there was anything during the night (update?) which requires a reboot, but, when I'm happened to pc this morning it was hanging at the "Windows is shutting down" screen... "Windows and continued so for a few hours I tried to understand.

    This happened to me for the first time last week.  I don't have another source to the internet at the time, so I have 'given' and ended up using the power button.  I rebooted and immediately stopped to see if it would happen again, but everything was fine.  (Knew I should have troubleshooted!) The pc seemed so far.

    I read a number of suggestions to solve problems in other posts, but they all begin with the assumption that the pc is in a State of "exploitable".

    Step # 1 is need now is my only option to turn off, forcing a stop down with the power button?

    I'm going batty at this stage.  Any guidance appreciated.

    It might be.

    I know that superantispyware does not remove itself completely as you use their uninstaller or add/remove.

    Obviously, it's one of their drivers still installed, you must remove this item and then check if you still have a problem.

    Post back with the results.

    There are several posts on this problem, perhaps one of them will help you if removal of the driver does not.

  • Disabled all incoming in the Windows Firewall, internet connections still work

    I have disabled all inbound connections in windows firewall, but not noticed any problem with my internet connection. Weird how? For example, I let Internet Explore establish outbound connections, but do not allow for it or any other service/program to receive incoming connections. But Internet Explorer still gets responses from the servers on the internet when the requesting State pages and I also get a response from the DNS server of my ISP when IE tries to resolve ips domains. Weird. I misunderstood the meaning of incoming connections or there is a huge security hole in windows firewall.

    Hi Semjon,

    This setting blocks all unsolicited attempts to connect to your computer. Use this setting when you need maximum protection for your computer, for example when you connect to a public network in a hotel or airport, or when a computer worm spreads on the Internet. With this setting, you are not notified when Windows Firewall blocks programs, and programs on the Exceptions list are ignored.

    When you select block all incoming connections, you can still view most Web pages, send and receive electronic mail and send and receive instant messages.

    1 have had modifications made to your computer before the problem occurred?

    2. did you install or uninstall all the programs on your computer until the problem occurred?

    3. do you get an error message or error code when you access or file sharing on the network?

    4. what security (Antivirus & Firewall) program is installed on your computer?

    5. were you able to access shared files and folders on your laptop from your desktop earlier?

    I suggest you to follow a few troubleshooting steps and check if that help in the issue of the attachment on your computer.

    Method:

    Sharing files in Windows 7 and XP

    Sharing folders between two Windows 7 machines with the new homegroup feature is an easy process, but the homegroup feature is not compatible with Vista or XP.

    First of all, make sure that both computers are members of the same workgroup which by default is named Workgroup.

    a. on the Windows 7 machine go into control panel-all items in the control panel-network and sharing Center then click on change sharing settings, advanced.

    b. you want to check the following settings under Advanced for home or work and Public profile sharing settings.

    ·         Turn on network discovery.

    ·         Printer sharing and file.

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read write files in public folders.

     

    c. If you want any user to access public actions disable password protection.  It is located in the sharing settings advanced to the bottom of the list (protected by password sharing).

    ·         Turn off password protected sharing.

     

    d. If you want to keep it enabled, make sure that there is a newspaper account that the other XP machine and they have a password.

    e. over on your XP machine open my network places to search for the shared folder of Windows 7.

    f. double-click the shared folder to find a list of shared folders in the folder Public of Windows 7.  If you have password protection enabled you will have to type the user name and password of the user account on the windows 7 machine first.
