Hi guys, I have a bit of a stumbler here so I was wandering if anyone can take a crack at it..
I have a 512mbps line at home, primary use for which is to connect to the VPN at work and be able to work from home. This used to work like a charm, until some maintenance at work broke everything and I was without access for a while.
Things came back to normal, and the sysadmin assured me that everything should work. I tried from home, no joy. I spoke to the sysadmin, he checked everything, and said that my settings on the server are exacly the same as for other users with DSL lines (and theirs work perfectly).
This is what happens - when I try and establish my VPN connection, everything works fine, username/password gets authenticated, and i get logged on. The problem is that the connection with, e.g. TrendMicro (which is done always when possible), connection to the fileserver, connection to Exchange server never happens.
I thought that this is definitely the setup problem, until i realised I can do it with no problems from Germany, I can do it with no probs from my cellphone, with all the same settings...it's just from my DSL line that it doesn't work.
Any ideas why? If you need any more background, please ask, I may come across as a newb in this post, but I am just strapped for time and typed this out as quickly and concisely as I could.
If you can, please help.
Thanks!
