You're right, that's not impressive. I'm based in Denver. I connect via
vpn to systems in Bangalore, India (literally halfway around the globe
from me) for work all the time. Distance and country doesn't impress me
all that much, especially with connectivity available in today's
networks. I also regularly travel those kinds of distances in my
professional role.
Cute.....
Going to have a "I've been to more places than you have" contest? :-)
I guess that means it is my turn to recount the adventures I had in India with
satellite links and trying to do LDAP directory replication to Kenya. :-) :-)
First, OpenVPN is different from vpnc. The only thing they have in
common is that they are both essentially plugins for Network Manager. I
wrote that there's an issue with vpnc.
No kidding..... Of course they are "different". I just thought I'd mention
it since
I have it working locally as well as "remotely".

...Except that your diagnosis was wrong from the start, and I didn't
misunderstand you there. I wrote repeatedly that there was not a DNS
issue here and was supplying relevant information to show it. I think it
was you who misunderstood me. I mentioned I had two issues, but they are
Network Manager / vpnc and RDP. I never wrote that I had an issue with
DNS. You must have me confused with someone else (Lawrence, perhaps?)...
I didn't confuse you with Lawrence. But since you seemed to be picking up where he
left off....
Maybe you have to fix his understanding of things. :-)
Glad rdp works for you. It doesn't on multiple systems over here,
running both F16 and F17, with default configurations. I suppose that
means you won't have anything to contribute to the BZ beyond "It works
on my system", which is number 2 on the 10 most common things developers
say when their software doesn't work. Number 1, but the way, is, "That's
weird..."
Like I mentioned.....
Since it does work for me ... and I'm using F16 ... and it doesn't work for you
...
and you are using F16 ... you can try connecting to my Win2008 Server system to see
if the symptoms for you are the same.
I'm always happy to try and recreate the failure. Just so happens I can't at
the
moment. Post the bugzilla.... And try my system.... You may find something
interesting.
