Hi !
I maybe found a “solution” : I realized that (for an unknown reason, I didn’t make any change on the server configuration) the gateway (or router, I don’t know how it’s translated in english, on Windows, it’s gateway, on OS X it’s router I think. Anyway, the address I’m talking about is the one located on the client computer, in the TCP-IP tab, in System Preferences, under the subnet mask) address suddenly switched to “10.64.64.64”, replacing the old one, which was the WAN IP of the server !?
And… if I change the DNS address to this one and try to access to server’s services using this strange 10.64.64.64 IP, it works, without delay !? Quite strange.
Give it a try 😉 !
Okay, I called AppleCare today and someone – very nice 😉 – handled my call. Despite the fact that the problem is not solved yet, he gathered many informations, and I sent him a bunch of logs via an Apple software he made me downloading. So, now, I’m waiting. Maybe a solution will come… Anyway, happy new year from France !
Oh, I’m not alone… I’ve got the same problem on a new Xserve with SLS (10.6.2, I did not try to see if the problem is due to the update to 10.6.2 or if it’s still don’t work on 10.6.”0″) installed and configured on it (DNS, NAT, Firewall…). Everything is working if I access to the services while I’m physically connected on the internal network. But when I try to reach the server services (or to ping the server itself) from a computer connected through VPN (L2TP or PPTP, both connect without complaining), I just can’t contact the server. However, clients on the same subnet (Server is 192.168.1.1, and clients use 192.168.1.x) are available (I can use ARD to remote control them for example), answer to ping request, but the server doesn’t want to do so…
I tried almost everything : I formatted and reinstalled the system 5 or 6 times (I stopped counting, thanks to the DNS service which, like the VPN one, contains a lot of bugs), tried various configurations, about 4 modems (using PPPoE, or direct connect…), changing subnets, accessing through my iPhone. It just never connects. Or rather it connects but it’s desperately slow : once the connection is established (IMAP or ARD for example, which are persistent connections), “no” problem, I can do what I want. But I had to wait almost 30 seconds before the connection goes up : far too long to be usable, and causes every DNS lookup to timeout.
So, anyone found a solution ? Should I (we ?) call Apple and ask them to fix it ?…
PS : I’m french, please excuse me if my english is not very good :D.
