Hi Tan,

            I have the same problem with a completely different VPN
server/client.  My understanding is that VPN will not work where the server
must initiate communication with the client.  Most software (that works with
NAT) works because the client initiates the communication request, but it
appears that with Ingres, the server must initiate these requests.  For this
reason, I don't think it will work where you have more than one client
connecting via VPN.  Where there is only a single VPN client, you may be able
to get it working by setting the default gateway to the IP address of the
remote Client.  Additionally, if you know the port number is fixed, set the
client firewall to forward all requests on this port to the IP of your VPN
client.

 

Hope this help,

Hi all

 

I'm trying to run an OpenROAD 4.1 application remotely from a client machine
thru Ingres Net 2.6 while connected back to the server on the office LAN via
a VPN connection using Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient. The Ingres netutil
connection fails with Ingres error "E_GC2819_NTWK_CONNECTION_FAIL Unable to
establish network connection". Issuing an "isql hostname::databasename" also
returns "E_UG000F Error connecting to database"

 

However, I'm able to establish a telnet session to the server successfully
when connected remotely via VPN. 

 

I've done some research on this matter and have also reported it to Ingres
Technical support. 

 

The knowledge articles and recommended solution from Ingres seems to point to
the opening up of TCP ports on the Checkpoint firewall pertaining to the
E_GC2815_NTWK_OPEN line found in the errlog.log files on both the client and
server. I've done so but the problem is still not resolved.

 

Does anyone have a similar set up and resolution? Any help will be
appreciated.

 

Thanks.
