WebVpn - Unable to contact necessary server.

dlmumford

Level 1

I'm a newbie and have recently purchased an ASA5505. I've manged to get it up and running and am attempting to set up WebVpn. I've followed the configuration instructions and can get to the point where I can see the Domains and Workgroups on my home network. However, when I select a workgroup I get a message "Unable to contact necessary server.

I have my WINS server running on my W2K box and can see in it's log each time the WebVpn tries to access it.

Result of the command: "Show run"

Please note.

url-list HDQ "HDQ" http://192.168.1.2:42 1

This was a test config.

Has been updated to

url-list HDQ "HDQ" cifs://192.168.1.2 1

Still no luck.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone.

I figured it out. It appears that the WebVPN screen only shows available domains/workgroups. To access machines I have to search for the specific network path of the machine I am wanting to access.

I still think it should be possible to see my whole network by ckicking on the root workgroup on the Browse Networks panel without specifying a specific ip.

Is this correct?

Still getting the message in my subject line when I try.

Thanks in advance.
