Re: Nortel VPN and international remote access
That is part of my issue, I, nor a large majority of my campus, trust our IT director or the network administrator. They are trying to get my vendor booted from our campus, not sure why. They are stuck on the fact that there is a connectivity issue on the vendors end. Our network administrator ran 1 ping test to the vendors IP address and had a 9% packet loss from that one test. I am not sure what the acceptable range is, but the vendor is stating that falls in the range. The network adminstrator refuses to run any additional ping tests to see the results. When I run my own ping tests, I get 3 consecutive 0% packet losses. Is it possible to have a password disabling setting that will not notify the user? My vendor states that if a VPN connection is truly "dirty" and is losing connectivity, it will start to get slow then eventually time out. These disconnects are sudden and abrupt, quick speed then a complete disconnect. |

| Anything is possible...so I will not say it can not happen. If the VPN server and VPN client are close in software release, then they have been tested as compatible. If there is more than 2 or 3 releases between the server and client code, then it is possible that one side is expecting something the other can not provide.
You really can not determine what the issue is without knowing what is occurring at both ends and have access to the log files. |
