I have a VERY strange VPN issue I have been working on for weeks with no resolution. I will describe what I know to be true and hopefully someone will have suggestions.
- Windows Small Biz Server 2003
- Running Routing and Remote Access for VPN connectivity
- Client computers running Windows XP Pro
- Connecting to VPN using Microsoft client connection
This VPN works solidly for several users from several locations. Can browse and open files with no problem. I have one particular user who is having the issue I cannot resolve. He is using an HP laptop with XP Pro. He can connect to and use the VPN from home (DSL) with no problem. However, when he goes to an offsite job location is where he has problems. Here are the facts about the problem:
- Job location running DSL
- Laptop can connect to VPN but CANNOT open files; can browse folders but times out when trying to open files then VPN eventually disconnects
- The frustrating part is that this laptop can connect to OTHER VPN's from this location and open files with no problem; it only has problems with that one certain VPN
- Basically it hangs up at a certain point in data transfer and stops
ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more info if necessary.
