Can't connect to VPN through Sonicwall 2040

Asked by Littlefield in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Networking Hardware Firewalls, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Tags: 2008/03/24 21:13:54:053 Warning Failed to renew the IP address for the virtual interface. The semaphore timeout period has expired.

I have a Sonicwall 2040 and DHCP is provided by our DC.

I attempt to connect to our VPN using the SonicWall Global VPN client (version 3.1.0.556) and am prompted to enter my username and password as expected. It then gets stuck on connecting and shows the following as the bottom log entries:

2008/03/24 21:12:54:975      Information      207.201.200.30      Starting quick mode phase 2 exchange.
2008/03/24 21:12:55:022      Information      207.201.200.30      The SA lifetime for phase 2 is 28800 seconds.
2008/03/24 21:12:55:022      Information      207.201.200.30      Phase 2 with 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:BOOTPC:BOOTPS:UDP has completed.
2008/03/24 21:12:55:038      Information      <local host>      Renewing IP address for the virtual interface (00-60-73-E5-CA-60).
2008/03/24 21:13:54:053      Warning          <local host>      Failed to renew the IP address for the virtual interface. The semaphore timeout period has expired.

When I change the Sonicwall VPN to manual IP configuration, the connection complets just fine, but then the connection can't find the DC, even when I manually type in the address of the server. At that point I am given the following in the log:

NetGetDCName Failed: Could not find the domain controller for this domain.

I have looked at several other questions here, particularly ID 22684313 which explains this exact same issue, but with a TZ170. The accepted solution for that question was to uncheck "Enable NAT and Firewall Rules". This solution did not work for me.

In another question (ID: 22590397) it is suggested to either "Force On" or "Disable" NAT traversal in the VPN client. This does not work for me either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Start Free Trial
