Problem with VPN Services and Windows XP Clients

[starbuck]

Hiya folks,

I’ve had this problem for a few weeks, I’ve searched here and on the Apple Discussion boards for a possible fix but no luck so far.

The problem only effects windows users when linking to a Leopard Server 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 I haven’t tried the earlier versions, my 10.4.11 Server works fine.

When the Windows workstation connects to the VPN server it connects but is only able to ping machines on the network it can’t connect to any mapped drives or my internal wiki.

On the Apple Discussion board I’ve seen that other people have been having the same problem, here is the link http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7473350

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your time.

The Wonders of System Updates.

10.5.5 Server Update Resolves almost all the VPN problems I’ve been having.

The Windows users can now connect to the VPN and mount the server mounts the local wiki on the vpn server is also available.

These two things before the update failed to work.

The bad news……

We have an SQL Database on another server in the office which we can ping but cannot access still with 10.5.5 VPN Services, it works fine with 10.4.11 VPN Services so for now switching back to 10.4.11 VPN Services.

This is starting to get a little silly now.
