Recommended Posts

hello,

 

Vista SP1 requires NetBIOS to connect to fileshares over VPN connections.

 

Any planned changes for SP2 or 7?

Hi,

 

Based on my knowledge, Windows Vista require NetBIOS over TCP/IP port 139

since Windows Vista does not add the RAS adapter GUID for SMB to the

lanmanserver, lanmanworkstation, and SMB registry keys. It's a known bug on

Windows Vista and it have been fixed in Windows Vista SP1. So, Windows

Vista SP1 doesn't require NetBIOS over TCP/IP port 139 to connect to

fileshares over VPN connections.

 

For your reference:

 

Windows Vista clients cannot access network shares over a VPN or dial-up

connection

You cannot access SMB shares on a corporate network through a Remote Access

Service (RAS) connection from a computer that is running Windows Vista

Hope it helps.

I have just checked the registry keys, but my LanManServer and

LanManWorkstation do not contain the VPN guids. I am running Vista SP1. How

could this happen? My installation is clean Vista SP1 64bit installation. No

config migration. I can send you the relevant registry keys if you are

interested.

 

thank you very much.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

On the page of KB933468

(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;933468), we can

find the following information.

 

Registry information

To use one of the hotfixes in this package, you do not have to make any

changes to the registry.

 

Modifying registry keys is a workaround. Windows Vista SP1 includes

KB933468 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749061.aspx), so the

current situation(No changes in registry) should be normal.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Hope it helps.

the reaso why I ask is that my own Vista SP1 64bit computer actually cannot

access the fileshares unless there is NetBIOS enabled on the VPN interface

and the target computer has NetBIOS enabled and exceptions in its local

firewall opened.

if you like, I can give you wireshark/netmon traces of the communication.

Hi,

 

Thank you for latest reply. I understand that the issue still persists in

the Windows Vista SP1 64bit computer.

 

Given the situation, could you please help me confirm the following things?

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

1. When the issue occurs? Does it begin since clean installation?

2. Do you have other client computers? If so, does the issue occur on all

Windows Vista computers or specific computer?

3. Do you have Windows XP computer? Does it work fine on VPN?

 

According to KB933468 description, the issue should be resolved in Windows

Vista SP1. However, I recommend to take the workaround on KB933468 to test

it whether the issue can be resolved. If the issue can be resolved, it may

be a potential bug.

 

If the issue still persists, the issue can be caused by a specific factor.

Please download the Microsoft Product Support Reporting tool from the link

below:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b...e5-a579-30b0bd9

15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE

 

This information will help us to determine what factors are involved with

the issue(s) we are experiencing with your system. The MPS utility will

take about 5 to 15 minutes to gather information. This can be run at any

time and will utilize minimal processor time and memory and is quite

unobtrusive to clients currently accessing the server. It is required that

the currently logged on user have Administrative rights in order to allow

for proper operations of the MPS Reporting Tool.

 

If you have any questions regarding the usage or operations of the MPS

Reporting Tool please review the link below:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b...e5-a579-30b0bd9

15706/MPSRPT_SetupPerf_Readme.txt

 

On your system a CAB file will be generated for your convenience in the

%systemroot%\MPSReports\Setup\<Report Type>\Cab directory called:

 

%COMPUTERNAME%_MPSReports.CAB.

 

The CAB file will contain the reports generated by the MPS Reporting Tool.

Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload

the file and then give me the download address.

 

In addition, please also upload Netmon traces of the communication to

Windows Live SkyDrive.

 

Thanks.
