Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Networking / January 2007MS VPN Connection in Vista
I just upgraded my work PC from XP to Vista. I had an MS VPN connection set up to connect to my home network which worked fine under XP. Now in Vista, the connection still works but Vista wants to use that route as the default which means I am unable to access any of my internal work resources (Intranet, Exchange, etc.). I have already tried disabling the AutoTuning feature in Vista. Anyone else have this problem and know how I can go back to the way XP use to handle the VPN connection?? >I just upgraded my work PC from XP to Vista.

You need to go into the properties of your VPN connection on the Vista client machine and uncheck the "Use default gateway on remote network" checkbox. Its similar to what you did in XP... http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg1003.mspx  SignatureAl Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...

In the IP Setting window uncheck the "Use default gateway on remote network" checkbox. Note this can be a security risk to your office network. See the Cable Guy article I pointed you to earlier for a discussion of that.

Still doesn't work. > >>I just upgraded my work PC from XP to Vista. I had an MS VPN connection > >>set [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > security risk to your office network. See the Cable Guy article I pointed > you to earlier for a discussion of that. I was able to fix the problem. I had set a static DNS server in the VPN setup and that was causing the problem. I removed that DNS server and am now able to access both remote and local networks. > I have already done that.

Everything seems to work except the local network shares. When connected, if I try to access a local share, I get: "M:\ is not accesible. The specified account does not exist." Any thoughts? > >I was able to fix the problem. I had set a static DNS server in the VPN > >setup [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks for the feedback. I am sure that will help someone in the future... Map to it as an IP address rather than the name. I have a similar issue where I map to a non domain share(ie workgroup) and when I reboot or log off and back on it can't connect anymore. Doing this by IP solves it! > Spoke a bit too soon.
