Topic: VPN not connecting

[treydock]

I am currently using Cisco Systems VPN Client to connect to the intranet of my university.  I can connect to the server and the VPN opens as normal but I am unable to access anything in the intranet.  Do I have to open up a port or do some sort of setting to let VPN signals leave my network?

I believe that it should work out of the box.

I believe the firewall as ipsec pass through and you should be fine....but...it could be a setting on the client software??

Look in the log files for errors etc.

What log files should I look at?  The VPN client's, or SME's....if it's SME's what log should I look for, last time I looked there were tons of logs in server-manager.

Thanks

I talked with help desk at my university and they suggested having the VPN client on the SME server (I use it as a proxy/router, in gateway server mode)

Does SME come with a VPN client?

Whichever ones help identify the problem, and you'll know that after you look at them.
If you can ring the help desk, then I think you can read log files.
