VPN - IPX error 733 when connecting from Windows XP
I have a 10.4.8 (Intel) OS X Server at our office. Our Mac users can VPN in with no problems, they get a valid IP from the vpn lease pool, can remotely control desktop machines, use files, etc. However, when trying to connect from XP, my user is getting an Error 733 referring to IPX. Anyone see this or have input for me? It's the boss who can't get in, so you can imagine I need to pay attention to this one! 😉
Server has private IP behind Netgear Prosafe Firewall appliance. Server is the DMZ. The Netgear receives our static IP from our T1 gateway, and performs DHCP and NAT for us. The OS X Server has a static private IP, and serves mail, ftp and vpn. (web to follow)
Clients can VPN in and receive a private IP within the specified range. I allow 40 bit and 128 bit encryption.
OSX Server: 192.168.200.250
Starting and ending IP addresses for VPN: 192.168.200.180 - 190
under Client Information:
DNS Servers: (two public DNS local to us from an ISP)
Search domains: (empty)
Network routing definition: 192.168.200.0 / 255.255.255.0 / private
From my PowerBook (10.4.8 client), I connect just fine, can use remote desktop connector to control XP boxes at the office, and access our files, printers, etc.
To my knowledge his home network is not causing an issue. It works fine from his MacBook Pro at home, running OS X 10.4.8 client, but not from his eXPee box, which used to work fine when we had a SBS2003. No we're not doing any Novell protocol traffic. If I dont need to offer 40-bit, I'll turn that off.
