I have a local network with several computers connected to a router, which
is connected to an ADSL modem. With 1 computer (192.168.0.4) when I try to
connect to an XP Pro machine at work through VPN it always fails at the
authentication stage. When I connect to that computer through SSH the
connection is frequently lost and everything transfers very slowly. When I
connect through FTP it's extremely slow.
On the other hand, when I connect from a second computer on my local network
(192.168.0.5) it has no problem establishing a VPN connection. 192.168.0.5
is running it's own FTP, VPN and SSH servers (forwarded through the router,
which is 192.168.0.1 locally) and I can connect through any of those from
the computer at work and transfers are quite fast.
From 192.168.0.4 I can establish a VPN connection to 192.168.0.5 without
problem and web browsing and transfers seem to work fine. For instance I can
download a quicktime from Apple's site at the 3 Mbps maximum speed of my
ADSL connection. But I just have been unable to figure out why it can't
communicate well with the computer at work.
For a while when I right clicked on the network adapter from 192.168.0.4 and
selected "status" nothing would happen and when I manually set it to
192.168.0.4 I would get an error saying there was another adapter using that
IP, although the adapter had the same name and didn't seem to exist anywhere
else, even under device manager with "show hidden devices" enabled. I did a
registry search for "192.168.0.4" and erased all the entries that came up
and after rebooting the "status" menu command worked fine and I no longer
got the error about conflicting IP's when I manually set it to 192.168.0.4.
Unfortunately, the issues with connecting to the work machine didn't change
at all.
Both 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.5 are running Windows XP Pro SP1 with all the
current patches.
Short of clean install, is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
