Vista Ultimate and VPN

B

Ben Derr

On certain networks that I'm connected to, especially limited access
networks, such as a vendor networks at companies, Vista will not let me VPN
using an existing VPN connection. Instead, there's a red X, and something
to the effect of "no internet access", which isn't true. Instead, I have to
create a new VPN connection, and have it connect as part of the setup
routine. Any thoughts?

Additionally, any answers to why there are so many network interfaces when
doing an IPCONFIG? I do realize that some of these are VMWare/VirtualPC
interfaces as well. 6-13 are my main issue.

For your first question, can you please explain a little more. I'm afraid I
didnt understand the scenario.

For the second question, those are virtual interfaces - Teredo and isatap
interfaces - which are created to help plug-in the Vista machine to an IPv6
network. IPv6 protocol is enabled by default on Vista, which is why you are
seeing these interfaces. They are not of use to you unless you operated in
an IPv6 enabled network environment.
