Re: VPN client loses connection to exchange server when at h |

I don't think this is an exchange issue at all, more likely VPN related.
VPN's over NAT are problematic. Typically when you VPN, the VPN client
software sets the default gateway to the VPN tunnel gateway, so that there
is no risk of a dual horizon scenario with 2 gateways. This is a standard
security measure. Now when you have 2 VPN clients behind the same IP
address, NAT'ed, as it were, the VPN concentrator probably views the second
connection as the 'same as' the first, and only services one at a time.
I haven't had to solve this one myself, but I would start poking around with
the VPN software, etc.
Of course, you could just install a FE server, and open OWA, and\or RPC over
HTTP. That is the direction we are tending to go in...

When one of our users is at home he is able to connect to the network via
vpn with no problem. When he opens outlook he will initially have a
connection. When his wife logs on with her laptop she is able to open
outlook and connect to the exchange server but as soon as she does he
loses
his connection. When she gets off he is able to connect again. He has a
cable modem with a static ip address and a linksys wireless router. Any
help
would be appreciated. Thank you and God bless you! Merry Christmas! |
