The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Netware 6.5, DHCP, XP SP2 and Cisco 4.6.03.0021 client

Asked by Mixmangle in Novell Netware Network Software

I know there will be responses like, update the VPN client or Update XP to SP3. Those aside <g> Please let me know what might be at issue here.

Newly reformated Dell GX 620 with integrated broadcom 57xx nic (latest drivers from Dell). Netware 6.5 server and DHCP. Computer connects fine. All is well, stable for several days catching up on Windows Updates and Setting up Outlook/ Exchange connection.

This commuter needs to connect to another corporate netwrk via VPN and that company provided a configured Cisco vpn client, 4.6.03.0021

The moment I install the vpn client and the machine reboots as part of the installation, network connection is trashed at reboot. Initially, it sees the server, logs on and gets 3/4 way thru the logon script. Then the NIC disconnects.

I check and see the VPN is still in a disabled state, try to repair the LAN connection (repair, release, renew, etc . . .) and it no longer accepts dhcp and reports back the 169.xx.xx.xx as IP.

I can leave it alone at this point and I will see it connect for a few seconds and then see it disconnect again - - -back and forth a few times until it giives up. Reboot, same thing. I can uninstall the VPN and force a reinstall of NIC and I can get it back up to where it's right as rain again, until I reinstall the client.

But I can make all of this go away if I assign a static IP address to the machine.

Remember, DHCP works fine before the VPN client is installed.
