no connect while logged on VPN

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. iphone or workstation VPN connect via PPTP
2. confirm you have local subnet IP issued
3. try connecting to VINE host via CVNC or VNSEA on any port

What is the expected output?
Can dial into host from iPhone using iPhone Remote so in theory should work 
with vnsea

What do you see instead?
timeout

What version of the product are you using?
.4

Please provide any additional information below.
seems vnsea is not finding the local network once connected via VPN over air on 
iphone... so 
thus can not login to host?

it should also be noted that I have gotten this to work from iphone over edge 
to connect to home workstation 
behind firewall... it is only a problem when trying to connect to corporate 
PPTP VPN that does not work over 
edge.

Interesting that iPhone Remote works and vnsea doesn't. Can you also connect to 
a web server across the VPN 
using MobileSafari?

By CVNC do you mean Chicken of the VNC? So you've also tried it from a laptop 
and it doesn't work?

What kind of VPN is it? Cisco? I'm not even able to connect to my work's cisco 
VPN for some reason, although 
it used to work from OS X.

Are you entering a hostname or IP address? If hostname, try the IP. When I used 
to be able to connect to my 
corporate VPN with OS X, I had to manually set the DNS server.

Btw, what is the exact error message given when the connection fails? That 
should indicate whether it failed 
to resolve the hostname or if that succeeded and it failed to connect.

Thanks!

**YES

**YES it does work on laptop... i also Timbuktu in ussually from laptop... 
after PPTP connection live.

**YES entiprise... though i'm still able to connect through PPTP in addition to 
thier proprietary client software

Are you entering a hostname or IP address? If hostname, try the IP. When I used

**TRIED both. calling home via EDGE works fine thru DynDNS to find IP. Using 
OPEN DNS at home too. 

Btw, what is the exact error message given when the connection fails? That 
should indicate whether it failed 
to resolve the hostname or if that succeeded and it failed to connect.

**Failed to connect... timeout.

Thanks for noticing and responding to this. Sure most users dont have this kind 
of situation. Great product 
non-the-less.

Thanks for the reply. I'm interested in this issue because if I ever get VPN 
connecting with my work network I 
may have the same problem.

No ideas right now why it doesn't work. I'll have to think about it, and try 
getting my own VPN to work once more 
to try to reproduce it.

while ;)
