yea, i do apologize about the lack of info. the firewalls were in place before i got hired on and I just don't have access. I got our senior IT staff to &quot;look into it&quot; and they called the company and they say they don't know why.<br />
<br />
I guess a bit more info i could give would be that we have 3 sites total, and the other site used to not work much like mine, and now i have inherited their problem to where my site doesn't work. and they now work fine.

Well first tell those guys what I posted before. If they're any good, they know what to do.

I'm a domain admin on a vpn. on one site, we have a server that hosts our domino server. to install the client, you connect to this server to download the exe. from the site it's on, this isn't an issue, however, from off site, while connected via vpn, the server request will always time out. if i am at home, or using an outside line, i can connect to it no problem. both sites have a firewall in place and they are managed by another company. any thoughts on how to fix this or tell the company where to look?

connecting to a server via vpn

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
