OK, I know this works - I've done
it before. Either via Microsoft's native VPN to a windows 2000 RAS
server I have, or even to my sonicwall with the 8.0 VPN client software, I
used to be able to go through my Windows 2000 NAT server that I have at home
which I use to get to my cable modem.
Now, about a month ago, I rebuilt
my home server because I did some changes to the raid drives on it. And
evidently I did something different enough that neither native VPN nor the 8.0
sonicwall client no longer works. Well, I'll modify that. The
native MS VPN works maybe one time out of about 40.
I've tried setting the MTU on my
notebook down to various levels (a previous thread I had seen mentioned going
under 1300 sometimes resolved some issues). No dice. Same
issue.
Now, since the hardware is the
same on both ends (notebook, network card on notebook, RAS server at work,
network card on RAS server at work, and sonicwall at work) and the only thing
that has changed in this picture is that I rebuilt my NAT server at home, I'm
sitting on a conclusion that it must have to do with my NAT box's rebuild.
<G>
Anyone come across this
before? Both VPN solutions work great if I bypass my NAT box at home, or
from anywhere else. Just not through that Windows 2000 NAT box.
But it *does* work from a
friends network through *his*
windows 2000 NAT box. So it has to be mine.
Ideas?
