Cisco VPN :: To Connect To Remote PPTP VPN Via PIX 515e
Feb 7, 2012
A user in our office needs to connect to a client's remote PPTP VPN but can't connect. The user is running Windows 7. We have a Cisco PIX 515e firewall that is running PIX Version 6.3(3) - this is what our user is having to go through to try and make the connection to the client's remote VPN.
The client's network guys have come back and said the issue is at our side. They say that they can see some of our traffic but not all of it. The standard error is shown below, and they say it's symptomatic of the client-side firewall not allowing PPTP traffic:
"A connection between the VPN server and the VPN client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX has been established, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets (protocol 47). Verify that the firewalls and routers between your VPN server and the Internet allow GRE packets. Make sure the firewalls and routers on the user's network are also configured to allow GRE packets. If the problem persists, have the user contact the Internet service provider (ISP) to determine whether the ISP might be blocking GRE packets."
I have very little firewall experience and absolutely no Cisco experience I'm afraid. From looking at the PIX config I can see the following line:fixup protocol pptp 1723.Does this mean that the PPTP protcol is enabled on our firewall? Is this for both incoming and outgoing traffic?
I can see no reference to GRE 47 in the PIX config. What I should look for to see if this has been enabled or not?
I'm having a Issue getting my VPN up from out remote site . We have a ASA5505 at the remote site and the Main office we have a PIX-515E.. I followed this temp config I found on line but Im still not able to get the VPN UP..
This script can be used to get you started on a site to site vpn using the older Cisco PIX code. PIX running 6.3 ! ^^^^ Set ISAKMP (phase 1) parameters ^^^^^ {code]...
When I log into the ASA and run these commands This what I get

i'm having problems connecting to my RV220W using PPTP. The first time I set up PPTP on the box, everything worked just fine. Now, however, PPTP just won't work. No matter how I try to tweak various settings on the router, the connection fails. I have tried connecting with Windows 7, Android and OSX with no success.The router came with version 1.0.1.0, and I have tried downgrading to 1.0.0.26 and upgrading to 1.0.3.5, but alas, I can't seem to make PPTP work again.
I am unable to VPN to my network from outside using cisco VPN client to PIX-515E. When I try it say: Reason 412: the remote peer is no longer responding. From inside everything work ok, I can connect... (same computer, same settings...)
In my Cisco PIX-515E Version 6.3(5), I have a IPSec VPN tunnel and also to the same firewall home users connect through VPN client. I am unable to find a solution that allows my home users to connect to office network and again access the remote network through the IPSec tunnel.
My University has free Internet at student homes, but we need to login by PPTP to get an official, public IPv4 and be able to reach the outside world. The network people at the University says that when the PPTP is up, everything should be open (no firewall of any kind).
have my WRT160NL that gets a 10.10.73.0/23 address from DHCP on WAN port. Currently I have 10.10.74.21. My internal network uses 172.17.17.0/24.My PPTP-server is located at 10.192.1.1 and when I connect, I usually get an IP in the 158.37.73.0/24-range. Currently I have 158.37.73.28. I use DynDNS to make sure I always know the public IP by the host binders.dyndns.info ...
So, I have Remote management enabled with HTTP and HTTPS, any IP and default port 8080. But no response from the outside world seems to go through.If I turn of the "filter ICMP" but keep the SPI Firewall on, I get ping reply from external sources towards my router, but still no HTTP or HTTPS response.I also have a Torrent I try to port forward to to be active, this is 23277, and this is the only thing that keeps coming up in the incoming log on my router.
It's not possible to connect to the routers management over the PPTP-tunnel?And why can't I get the port forward to work .. Same reason? PPTP 158.37.73.28 -> 172.17.17.100 (LAN) won't work?
Can I configure a PIX (515), as PPTP client to establish a tunnel with non-Cisco PPTP server ? Can my PIX initiate this type of connection ?Today, I use a PC with PPTP client to establish this and I want replace this with a PIX and I don´t want depends of a PC.
I have a host that can successfully connect to a PIX 515E (7.x OS) via VPN Client; however, I have no IP routing to the LAN from the remote host.The VPN IP pool works finem,The LAN default gateway is the inside interface on the PIX; the network is flat L2 behind it.The default route on the PIX points out; no other routes are defined,The VPN remote host can be pinged from LAN hosts, but the VPN remote host cannot ping any LAN host, not even the PIX inside interface.
we are not able to connect to a outside PPTP vpn server;The scenario is this :Connections are started from inside netwok to a VPN server on the outside zone.
I have add these configs and still not working.policy-map global_policy class inspection_defaultinspect pptp ?i also have a acess-list for it.access-list inside_access_in extended permit tcp object inside-network any eq pptp access-list inside_access_in extended permit gre object inside-network any access-group inside_access_in in interface inside? I am missing something or this is all configs i have to get done ?
Region : UnitedKingdom Model : TL-WR1043ND Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : 3.13.12 Build 120405 Rel.33996n ISP : Plusnet
I'm on a fibre connection from Plusnet and bought the TL-WR1043ND because of the advertised ability to use PPTP VPN to connect to my work server (the supplied Plusnet router doesn't allow it and is locked down).However, I cannot connect via PPTP VPN on this TL router either. I know my VPN settings are correct and I have had a brief search and found others have this problem, but short of installing third party firmware on the router, how to get this router running my PPTP VPN?
My use case is very simple I want to connect iPhone/iPad using pptp to my home network. I purchased the 180W and looks like I am not able to connect mobile devices to it. My Setup is simple I have ST536v6 (firmware 7.4.4) modem in bridge mode and Cisco RV 180W connect to my ISP using Ppoe. I followed the Admin guide and created the pptp user. If I connect from internal network it connects but when I try to connect the device from WAN it just does not work.
I cannot connect to a PPTP on the outside of my network.We have a RV082, port 1723.It says verifying username and password but then disconnects.The error log says Blocked IP Spoofing.
On wireless (lenovo tabletx61) I cannot connect through the intranet - no problem connecting through internet. When I manage to connect through intranet connection is dropped quite often.No problem connecting via Ethernet cables.
I'm trying to connect to my home laptop from work. The home laptop is connected to DIR-655 router. I set up the internal and external ports to 3389 using both TCP and UDP protocols with the Application as "Remote Desktop". From my work PC I enter the external IP with :3389 and it fails to connect. I have also tried accessing internally which is failing too. All computers are running Windows 7 Home Premium Remote Access is enable on all.
I am not able to remote access my work computer from my new Samsung Laptop. I was finally able to install the VPN software, but the remote access does not work on my new machine; however, it works on my old HP machine.
I am trying to get this VPN Client (5.0.07.0410) to connect to the remote LAN behind the cisco 1812. Here is my config. I am able to get everything connected and IP assigned to the client and can even ping local LAN and Internet but can't ping to the remote LAN behind the 1812. I feel it's a routing issue or an ACL issue.SHUMAMKERRTR>enPassword:SHUMAMKERRTR#sh runBuilding configuration...
We are a small business and recently purchased a business server running Windows Server 2008 from the home office.The home office is fine as everything is hardwired on an intranet. We are trying to set up our two other locations to this home server. All machines are running Windows 7 x64 OS trying to connect to the Server. I've tried to setup a VPN connection but keep getting error 800 vpn tunneling failed. The home server is connected to the internet through a router.want to Connect to a Remote Server.
so how can we connect 4 remote computers so dat they can share data,as well as if data is updated on 1 pc ...it is automatically updated on rest 3.....
I have a VPN server set up behind a home router in my apartment. I'm able to connect to it from other locations, and have verified that internet traffic is going thru the connection (ipchicken.com reports the IP address of the VPN network). But I can't seem to connect to other machines on the router subnet. For example, 192.168.1.1 connects me to the local gateway rather than my apartment router. Also, I can't connect to known good static IPs for other machines on the remote subnet, including the machine I'm VPN'd thru!
Note that in connection properties, the setting to 'use remote default gateway' is checked.
I just made a VPN on my ASA 5505 at home, I can connect successfully to it, but I can't contact anything in the network, nothing respond to ping or to anything else (include the ASA inside IP).
We use Nortel VPN and the problem is that it's set so when you connect to it, you can only access company resources so no Internet. To mitigate that we use vmware and run Windows XP at the same time as our Windows 7 systems. I'd love to be able to use remote desktop though and connect to a system located elsewhere even another office computer and have that one on the VPN, but of course as soon you connect the remote desktop connection goes down with it.I'm just wondering if there's any ways around this. I'm assuming not, but I'm not sure how VPN fully works. Like if I had 2 network cards in the remote system, when I VPN in does it block connections from all network cards? Ideally I'd like to use something like Amazon Web Services since their Windows Server tier has the free option which is good, or will use another VPS type system running Windows Server.
I'm relatively competent with adding new hardware to an existing network but I am not sure how to do something a little more complicated. I have a small business server that hosts 6 computers via wired network. We run a cable from the main office across the lot to the shop where it connects to a wireless enabled router. The router is wired to two more PCs and hosts 1 laptop wirelessly. I would like to two PCs to be able to connect to the server and access all the common files stored in the server drive - how do I get the PCs to see the server and not just the router/each other? I don't need the laptop to connect to the server, but we do need to wireless router to connect the laptop to the internet.
I need to connect my home pc to my office LAN, is there a way of connecting to the LAN remotely as if the pc was locally joined to the network? I don't want to connect to a specific pc just join the network itself. When I logged into the router management I thought I would be able to just specify a remote IP address that would be allowed to connect to the LAN as if it were local but there is no obvious way of doing that. The router is an SMC.
I have inherited a sbs 2008 network where they have a SBS2008 server and Server2008 running as a terminal sever at the main office and they have 2 satellite offices. These offices all connect through router to router vpn tunnels. The main site is on 10.0.0 and dhcp is done by the sbs. Satellite site a is on 10.0.10 and dhcp is done by the vpn router and Satellite site b is on 10.0.5 and dhcp is also done by the vpn router. All client computers can run rdp to access shares / programs etc on the two servers but when trying to push out group policy, antivirus updates or even using remote control through the SBS2008 server it is hit or miss. DHCP records on the SBS server do not seem to update correctly, manually changing the ip address in DNS records results in warnings that the PTR record cannot be created.
So I am wondering if the configuration they currently have setup is correct. What might be stopping some but not all computers from updating, why I can connect to some but not all computers at site "a" but I am not able to remotely connect to any computers at site "b".Why I can do remote installs of Eset Endpoint Security on roughly 10% of the clients but the other 90% fail.
I am trying to use my computer running Windows XP Home to remote desktop into my computer running Windows 7 Ultimate over the internet.The computer I am trying to connect to is listening on port 3389, has all sort of firewall exceptions sorted and is enabled to accept remote connections. The computer I am trying to use to connect has no firewall currently (I have disabled it just to get this working).
And yet when I try and connect using the ip address of the host computer I receive the message "remote desktop cannot connect to the remote computer for one of the following reasons"... and so on.
Remote Desktop can't connect, so I've got four servers in the same LAN. Whenever I try remotly access the web server, the message (Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: 1. Remote access to the server is not enable. 2. The remote computer is turned off. 3. The remote computer is not available on the network) The thing is that I can connect to all servers with any desktop computer in the network, but when I try to do it in my laptop (that is connected to the same LAN) I've got access to the other servers but not to the web server. Sometimes I had to restart this server and works fine for a little while.
I have to connect client machine using Modem. They Have their Telephone number and they are saying that by dialing that number I have to connect their machine using that number from modem. How can I do this and which hardware, software I need i.e requirement of things to do this
I am having problem connecting to my work PC via VPN Cant ping and RDP. I sometimes need to log into my work PC to check out a problem. I connect via VPN and I can access servers (using Citrix and local intranet sites) that can only be accessed once connected to my work domain. So it looks like the VPN actually works fine.
But I cannot Remote Desktop Connection to it. I also tried to ping the PC using a command prompt. Using the command prompt, I ping MyWorkPC And I can see that it tries to ping MyWorkPC.domain.name.co.za. So it looks like it sees the MyWorkPC on the network. But all pings fail.
A work colleague tried to remote connects to MyWorkPC from his home PC and he can successfully connect. So I do believe that the work network and PC is setup correctly. I am running window 7 Ultimate SP1 (32bit) with a 3G dongle in a router. I also have Avast antivirus installed on my PC. I was not sure if the router or the antivirus was the issue so I tried:
1.Removing the 3G dongle and attach it to my USB port on my home PC directly. No luck 2.Some blogs said that the P2P or IM shield on Avast might be the problem so I disable it. No luck 3.Then I uninstalled Avast completely to see if it has any shield that might still block it. I restarted. No luck
