Arggg, When I went to bed last night my VPN server on my MacOSX (client) mini was working fine...
Today it appears to be dead... The vpnd.log file shows that the server is listening for connections but any attempt to connect is met with no logged response in the log file ( and no connection). Racoon and vpnd are both running and there is no indication in any of the log files in /var/log to indicate any problems. I have removed required ports on my airport extreme and then reset them, it did no good. I have completely reset the airport and reloaded the configuration and it made no difference. I have set the forwarded ports to point to another of my macs and it acted the same ( the other mac was config'ed earlier and the daemons where still running). I have rebooted the systems several times during this ordeal and I always get the standard listening for connections messages in the vpnd.log file. I have checked the external IP of the router and it has not changed. I have turned off the router for 10 minutes or more and when restarted the behavior has not changed. Is there anything I can do to debug the problem? How can I be sure that the router is forwarding packets to vpnd? Does anyone have a simple 'hello' udp server that simply responds 'hello' to any incoming connection. I could perhaps confirm that the ports are open if I get a response. I used to have similiar gadgets a long time ago, but my programming foo has weakened over the decades. I am baffled.... Thanks for any clues Jerry _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
