I just tried the following.

Changed to static IP address with corresponding subnetmask, etc. It took.

Clicked repair and it went through everything (skipping IP address) no problem.

Changed back to DHCP and it changed back.

Still cannot repair. Gets hung on renew IP address.

Can you get at http://servername/connectcomputer from another workstation? Did you change something in the default website?

Yep, can get to it from my workstation. I do not mess with the website. We do not use it or sharepoint.

I need to think about this. At the moment I have no idea what the cause could be but we have proof that it is something on the laptop that is wrong.

OK. What time is it there (and day)? I can hang out here as long as needed. I will not be in tomorrow but will be in the next day. I just found this alert in ISA. WOndering if it is a problem.

 

COnfiguration Error

Catagory: Firewall

 

Description: ISA Server detected routes through adapter Network Connection that do not correlate with the network element to which this adapter belongs. For best practice, the address range of an ISA Server network should match the address ranges routable through the associated network adapter as defined in the routing table. Otherwise valid packets may be dropped as spoofed. (This alert may occur momentarily when you create a remote site network. You may safely ignore this message if it does not reoccur.) The address ranges in conflict are: 192.168.16.13-192.168.16.13;.

Can you do from the command prompt a 'route print' and copy the results?

It is already late here, almost midnight...I will go to bed soon but Marina might able to continue. She is awake when I sleep :-)

Route print from the server.

It is after 5:00 here. I think I will kick off for now but will check in every few hours to see if there is anything I can do remote. I have a mechanic coming over to work on the wife's car tomorrow but maybe I can sneak in tomorrow and pick up there. If not, I will be here all day and most of the night day after tomorrow. Is it best if I just post back here when I can? BTW. Thank you very much for all the help. I have no idea what is going on here. You are great.

 

Thank you again.

 

Aaron

Maybe we should schedule a remote session tomorrow? No charge for that, just want to see what is going on.

Hello, I am here at your disposal all day. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you again for all of the help.

 

Aaron

Thank you very much. Just tried both and still no dice.

I thought about doing that but I have a remote user that will probably never come into the office that is trying to connect his Outlook via the interent and is having problems plus I am having all sorts of problems with the bosses Treo synching. I am thinking that it is all related to something on the server.

The other laptop installed certificate from an external location on the internet. The Treo's was installed via the hotsync cable from his computer on the network. I have done a hard boot, completely wiped away all data, fresh setup with new certificate a few times while troubleshooting the Treo. Completely baffled both Verizon's and Palm's support people. They both decided that it has to be a problem with the server.

Cool, I will try that out on the Treo 700 when I can steal it from the boss and have a laptop to grab the certificate from. I will let you know what happens with that. Thanks.
