| Guest | Network Connection I have set up a VPN network connection to my work. The connection is "successfull". At least that is what is reported back to me. Sometimes I get connected to Work. Sometimes a new connection is formed and I am connected to Work 2, Work 3, etc. When I use Remote Terminal to connect to a machine in my work domain, sometimes it connects just fine (after a few warnings about the remote computer doesn't support authentication, etc.). However increasingly I just get a message indicating that the machine cannot be located when I try to connect with "Remote Terminal". At first I thought that the machine may be "down" or off but I boot up into Windows 2003 or XP and the connection (and subsequent Remote Terminal) works just fine. It seems that when it is going to fail the connection statistics (hover over the net icon on the tray) indicate that this connection is "Local Only". When it works the status shows "Local and Internet". Like I said this works sometimes an sometimes the connection stays "Local" and the Remote Terminal connection fails to find the remote computer. So this boils down to two questions: 1) Why are the additional connections being created (Work 2, Work 3, etc.)? 2) Why the intermitent "failure"? Why does the status get "stuck" at "Local only" and the Remote Terminal connection cannot find the computer. This sequence seems to be rock solid with XP and Windows 2003 but somewhat fragile with Vista/Longhorn. This post is mostly to see if the problem is being worked on and to see if there is a known work-around. Thank you. Kevin |
