Error ffe0b427. tunnel error

[dutchmen]

Hai

I have a problem. Mine pc crashed and I have to reinstall everything, including wingate vpn. But when I start this up, the connection is made but I recieve a tunnel error ffe0b427. SO, no connection. I have seen this topic a few times but no answer to this problem. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I use wingate 1.2.3 and the server use the same version. The connection works fine om a other computer on a other network.
Pc = windows XP SP1.

I have tried the newest version of wingate vpn but then I cannot connect to the internet at all (A little bug?).

Anyone have a clou

The error code indicates that the remote network is unreachable for UDP traffic. That is seen occasionally, but there are a few things that can cause that; so should be fairly easy to find what's changed on your setup.

That topic describes what causes the problem. This topic

has a fairly detailed investigation of it and a fix for that particular case. As you say it only happens from one PC, and that another PC joining the same VPN has no problem - it's most likely going to be something similar to the solutions described in these posts.

I have found it out. And I must say that I feel a little a shamed about this. If I had a better look with IPCONFIG /ALL then I have seen the problem. Mine network card had a mac adres of 000000000000. If this is the case then wingate does not work properly (Wingate is not to blame abouth this). How this is possible I don not know yet but I have used a "fake mac adress" and thrn wingate works fine. Sometimes the answer is simple but to find out what the problem is......

Thanks for your advises
Best regards

Great stuff, that's another useful one for our FAQ / Knowledgebase. Interesting that the network card managed to get a MAC of all 0's.

What make and model is it, if I may ask?

The networkcard is a intergrated sis 900 pci network card. The problem started when I did a bios upgrade. I have a pcchips m848a v2.1 motherbord with cpu speed problems. After the upgrade the mac adres has been reset to 0000000000 but the cpu runs now fine. After the upgrade windows xp did not work anymore (thanks pcchips, next MB will not be a pcchips ) so I did a complete reinstallation. The rest you know.
