It seems like lots of people are having issues with Networking in Vista.
I've seen lots of posts on them, but no sign of any fixes on the horizon. I
personally only have issues with the VPN support in Vista. I'm experiencing
the following:
1) Intermitantly, when I go to the "Connect To" window from the start menu,
it says the VPN connections require an internet connection, despite the fact
that I have access to the Internet. This can be worked around by going to
the "Manage Network Connections" window where I can connect.
2) While connected to a clients VPN from my work network, I will eventually
not have access to my own network resources. When connecting to resources in
my internal network, it will try the ID I used in the VPN instead of the
domain id I'm signed onto the machine with. Eventually my network id gets
locked out. The two ids are of the format LocalDomain\jbailey and
VPNDomain\jbailey, but this shouldn't have anything to do with it. This
NEVER occured with Windows XP, so I'm certain that this is related to Vista.
The first issue is annoying, but can be easily worked around, but the second
issue is a true pain. I end up having to go into my server and unlock my
account (fortunately I can do this as I'm also the administrator). If anyone
has a workaround for the second issue I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
