So are you creating a VPN connection through successfully yet?

What errors do you get if VPN fails, does it just time out.

Is windows firewall enabled on the 2k server?

thats what I'm doing. think RDP on wireless and you have it.

the connection times out and stops- you can see the inbound data coming in.

firewall is off but zonealarm isnt. thats set to pass on one port only.

I'll know a LOT more in about 3 hours after I get the new router.:P

What VPN protocol are you using?... PPTP or IPSec?

Do all firewalls allow 3389, 1723 or 500/4500

Zonelalarm can be bloody troublesome, even if if you turn it off it still has a habit of blocking incoming.

Just to rule out Zonealarm being the cause, check the blocked zone log for the laptops IP.

I know Chris is using a different router now but just to clarify...

The problem definitely seemed to be the port forwarding on the router, I configured it to the best of my knowledge (lol) but it just didn't work. The rule I set up on the firewall allowed the RDP traffic into the router, but I could not get it to forward, regardless of what I tried. There are counters that show how many packets have been matched a given rule, so we could literally watch them get through the firewall but not get forwarded.

I won't pretend to be an expert when it comes to this kind of thing, but the menus and terminology on that router bear little resemblance to anything I'm familiar with. I had all the settings correct as far as I could tell and even had the RDP rule right up the top of the list and it just did not work.

I don't feel so bad now that it seems everyone else hates these routers too :happy:

So what router did you end up getting Chris?

Having the rule up the top wouldnt really make much of a difference in some cases.

Having a rule at the top could sometimes override any other rule underneath it or depending on how stupid the router can be at times, the bottom rule can override the top rule cause it was the last one to be actioned.

ditch that dog

zonealarm is horrible

netcomm nb5s are also

disabled it on both machines so I have NO issue geting what I need off the server. Qbooks runs just as fast remotely via 3g as it does on the server so I'm happy there. I can print to other machines just not the one I need to (in the van.)

I cannot see the printer (with the 3g link up.) on the server for some reason. I can see EVERYTHING else on the remote machine (pdf printer etc) but NOT the actual printer.

gilly,

you're on.

Lol yeah the router has an arrangement where it numbers each rule, like the old days of line numbering in BASIC code (10, 20 etc). I tried the rule at the top and bottom, checked for anything in between with a "don't check past here" tag or something, nothing worked. The limited info I could find stated that rules were processed top to bottom and the first rule to match the packet was processed. So I put it first and it was still being ignored... I've never had that much trouble setting up port forwarding before! :rofl:

Either way, it sounds like the NB5 has done the job... regardless of whether they are a good or a bad thing, they are definitely easier to work with (and have a much more usable port forwarding setup) than the original one :D

yep it works - its almost as fast (response time) as having the remote pc on a physical lan. I'm happy - still need to sort this printer out...

with the printer, have u actually installed it, like start ->printers and add printer etc etc, you would just need to share the printer from there, technically should all work.

Make sure the printer is installed and shared, from there on your remote machine if its not coming up as auto detected, find out the name of the printer from your local machine.

Go into the Printers section of your remote machine and add a network printer, then select "ADD THIS PRINTER" and enter the name in. It will scan for that particular printer name through your network and hopefully pick it up.

The sharing and automatic detection often goes bannanas.

it works and exists on the remote machine. I cannot see it onthe server - manual entry I thought of but considering it was near dark when I was working on this I ran out of light. will work on it morn this arvo.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
