|
I've got a slight problem with my VPN connection to WORK.
When I connect to my work's VPN and I try to connect to a remote computer through the hostname it doesnt work, but if I use the computer's ip [172.19.17.102] then it works. When I ping it-carstend it I get the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\dresslerc>ping it-carstend
Pinging it-carstend.dai.cosma.com [64.158.56.56] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 64.158.56.56:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
Now the IP address 64.158.56.56 is something I never seen before. Its not the computer's IP that I'm trying to connect to.
If I remove the Router and connect directly to the modem and connect to my VPN and ping it-carstend I get the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\dresslerc>ping it-carstend
Pinging it-carstend.dai.cosma.com [172.19.17.102] with 32 bytes of data:

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 74ms, Maximum = 86ms, Average = 79ms
Which is 100% correct. Now this tells me that either I have something not properly configured on the Router or its a potenial bug. I've tried multiple computers and get the same results so I doubt its related to my laptop. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks!
