VPN worked with Vista client, but breaks with Win7 client

http://serverfault.com – I have a VPN with WinServer2003 on the host side and Vista (x64) as the client. The Vista client (192.168.0.nnn) connects daily to the VPN to backup all the machines on the host side (10.1.nnn.nnn). This has been working fine for about 3 years. I'm trying to replace the Vista client machine with a newer machine running Win7 (also x64). The Win7 machine connects to the VPN OK, but can't ping any of the host-side machines by name (by NetBIOS name, that is). It can ping them by IP address fine (ping 10.1.0.94). I still have the old Vista client running - it still works fine ("ping wilkins" w (HowTos)

Hi Folks,

Could anyone please point me to the right direction as I have spent so much time on this without luck. :wall:

I have installed Bind on my CentOS 5 server for internal network.

We are in the process of setting up an OpenVPN server for some servers running in a cloud.

dhcp client 40 weeks 1 day ago

Hi guys,I have a home network with 2 Linux PCs and 2 Win7 PCs connected via a router (NETGEAR Wireless-N Router WNR2000).My Win7 PCs can address all PCs by host name.  That is, I can open a command prompt and ping them.My Linux PCs cannot.  They can only address them using the ip address.I have isc-dhcp-client and isc-dhcp-common installed on Linux.  Is there a different dhcp client

I have configured Ubuntu 12.04 as Gateway machine.its having two interfaces

eth0 with ip 192.168.122.39(Static) and

eth1 connected to modem with ip address 192.168.2.3(through DHCP).

ip-forwarding is enabled in router box.

Client machine is configured as:

ip address 192.168.122.5 and gateway 192.168.122.39

Client machines can ping router box(192.168.122.39).but when pinged 8.8.8.8 rep

Problem:

Client computer can't ping server until the server has first pinged client. If I stop pinging the client from the server, the client will no longer be able to ping the server. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

Win7 to server 2008, firewalls off, no AV, etc.

I have an OpenVPN server and I can connect to it just fine but I can not communicate with any other hosts on the network including the server. I can't ping from the server to an OpenVPN client, I can't ping from an OpenVPN client to the OpenVPN server, I can't ping from OpenVPN client to OpenVPN client or from OpenVPN client to normal LAN host and vise-versa.

Say you have four Cisco 1142N's... and they're known as AP1, AP2, AP3, AP4. They all share the same SSID/encryption settings.

Clients can connect to any of the four and associate just fine, if you move physically so that the client device picks up another AP, that works fine also...

So, going from AP1 -> AP2 - no issue.

However, if you go from AP1 -> AP2 -> AP3 ...

The server and client can ping themselves but not each other. I have OpenVPN running on Windows 2008 Server and Windows 7. The computers connect just fine, the server gets 10.8.0.1 with a gateway of 10.8.0.2 and the client gets 10.8.0.10 with a gateway of 10.8.0.9. It's in tunnel mode.

Hi there,

Windows 7/vista has a default firewall profile such that if I ping a win7 machine from a subnet other than the one the win7 machine is on win7 will not respond.

I tried this with ubuntu and ubuntu replies to pings from hosts on other subnets that ubuntu is not present on.

I want to set up the ubuntu like the win7 host in respect to this.

I could probably use iptables and do t
