Azure VPN P2S Azure AD Authentication Connection Problem: The operation was canceled by the user - vpn

I've setup an Azure VPN Gateway according to the instructions on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/openvpn-azure-ad-tenant
However, each time I connect, the AAD Credentials token for the user is received successfully.
But next I get a message saying: "Dialing VPN Connection xxxxxx. Status = The operation was canceled by the user."
I've done everything listed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/troubleshoot-ad-vpn-client.
Anybody out there that has a clue?

I found the answer to my problem, so here is the solution (in my case)
Open Windows Device Manager
Navigate to Network adapters
Uninstall all of the WAN Miniport (XXXX) devices
Right-click on any item and choose to Scan for hardware changes
The WAN Miniport adapters should have re-created themselves.
Try connecting to your VPN again.

Removing the WAN mini ports from the Device Manager worked for me.

Web Sphere MQ 8.0 not connecting from home while same connects in office well

While I try to connect WMQ 8.0 from Home , It gives me error and getting failed while same Queue manager connects perfectly while I connect from office.
Queue manager name with host and port : MB8QMGR on '192.168.26.128(2414)'
Below is the error connection.
Could not establish a connection to the queue manager - reason 2538(AMQ4059).
kindly suggest me what's wrong with this.
In case you're not already aware, MQ Return Code 2538 is MQRC_HOST_NOT_AVAILABLE. This means that you have not managed to make the TCP/IP connection to your queue manager.
This is really a networking question rather than specifically an MQ question. Your question shows the IP address of the queue manager being a 192.168 address. This is a private network address. This means you can't connect to it from outside that network. You'll probably find that you have 192.168 addresses at home as well, but that does not mean you are on the same network.
My understanding is that even with a VPN getting you inside you company network, you still need a real IP address to connect to, but someone with more experience of private networks may be able to confirm. Talk to your network people at work and ask them how you should connect to the server your queue manager is on, from home. Once you can TCP/IP ping it successfully, then attempt to an MQ connection.

Prompting users with a message once they connect to my wifi-router

How is it possible to program or configure our wifi routers so that when there was a new connection the user would be prompted with a message?
I will try to give you a start.
The feature is called Captive portal. Its not available on all the routers.
For configuring this on a Linksys router, follow these steps.
And refer this page for more information.

Windows Phone 8 emulator can't connect to the internet

I have Windows 8 installed inside of an emulator, and the new WP8 SDK installed on it. My problem is that the emulator can't connect to the internet. I don't have any proxy, and even disabled the firewall. It still doesn't seem to work though. When I look at the Network Connections sections I can see the new connections the hyper-v manager created for the emulator, and also the automatic bridge created, but even there the network status is "No Internet Connection".
Are there some properties I can manually change in Hyper-V or for the network to make everything work?
Update: I've done everything suggested including create my own switch and delete all others. It still doesn't work however. It doesn't work on cable and not on wifi. Maybe I'm missing something with how to set this up?
Also the WP emulator keeps offering me to connect to the internet every time. It always erases all of the definitions I've set up, replacing it with it's own definitions.
I think I've finally found the answer, but you're probably not going to like it. It would appear that the phone emulator requires you to have a second network adapter to dedicate to this purpose. Personally, I run Windows 8 in VMWare, and so a second network adapter is free for me.
Anyway, after you get the second network adapter that you can dedicate for the phone emulator(must have internet)
Start from scratch. Go to the Hyper-V manager and delete the emulator along with all of the virtual switches
Start the emulator from Visual Studio; this will recreate it with all default settings(select yes you want to configure it to connect to the internet)
Shut it down
Now, go back to the Hyper-V manager
Delete the snapshot that was just created for the emulator. This will prevent your changes from disappearing
Find the virtual switch for your second network adapter in the Network Adapter settings(under control panel)
Disable TCP/IPv4, 6 and all other services. This prevents your host machine from trying to use the connection. While you're there, get the MAC(Physical) address of this adapter
Find the virtual-switch for your second network adapter under the Hyper-V settings for the emulator
Change the MAC type to static and paste in the MAC address of the adapter
Enable MAC spoofing (not sure if required, but just in case)
Then, find your virtual switch under "Virtual Switch Manager".
Ensure "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" is unchecked and that all extensions are disabled
Click OK and then start the emulator from Visual Studio!
Basically, it appears that for some odd reason it won't properly work unless the phone has the same MAC address as the network adapter. However, we can't just set it to use the same MAC address because address conflicts are very very bad. So, we need a second adapter that we can dedicate to the Phone emulator. The reason we disable TCP/IP on this adapter is so our host machine doesn't use it and cause these conflicts.
Other things to try:
The emulator keeps randomly breaking for me. I'll list a few other things I messed with this last time that got it to work(not sure if related, so only try these if the steps above aren't working
"Reordering" of network adapters for the emulator so that the external virtual switch is at the top (make sure to copy over the MAC address for the internal adapter)
Removing unrelated network adapters
Restarting your machine after recongiguring virtual switches
Praying to your local Microsoft evangilist
Seriously. Everytime I stop phone work for a while and come back, the emulator is always magically broken without me changing anything. No idea how to get it to work "permanently".
I had the same issue as well. However as someone else pointed out on the official forums it didn't work if you had a static IP for your PC set up in your router. Removing it and let the DHCP assign my PC an IP solved the issue for me.

Here's what worked for me:
Go into the internal network connection created by hyper-v in network connections on the host computer. Go to TCP/IP V4 and go to advanced. Change the metric from automatic to 10.
Go to the external network connection, do the same but set the metric to 1.
Volia, internet in the emulator.
I tried following steps , Not sure if it will work for you
1> Delete All emulators in Hyper-v
2> Remove all virtual switches from virtual switch manager
3> Go to Network connections in control panel and manually disable (right click and click disable) all the connection except the one which provides internet.
4> Start the emulator from Visual studio
Something else that seems to also cause an issue is Fiddler.
I had Fiddler open and running (as I was monitoring other HTTP requests), and it was stopping the emulator from connecting.
As soon as I closed Fiddler, the emulator starting connecting perfectly.
Start Hyper-V Manager
Open Virtual Switch Manager
Remove the Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch from the list and apply changes
After installing Windows Phone Emulator on my Yoga laptop, I immediately had the following problems:
emulator apps cannot reach the internet
host computer internet connection is terribly slow and almost unusable
I was discouraged and thought I would have to do some drastic and desperate acts to fix things, but got lucky with the following steps which completely solved my problems (for now). The steps are verbose (intended for the readers' benefit), but are actually very simple in practice.
....0: Unplugged ethernet cable (to remove it from the equation) but stayed connected to WiFi. Problems still remain but at least there is less complexity now.
....1: In Control Panel / Network Connections / Change Adapter Settings, deleted Network Bridge (required for Step 2 to work).
....2: Opened Hyper-V Manager, right-clicked on the emulator VM item and selected Virtual Switch Manager. Selected "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" and changed the radio button from Internal to External (this was only possible after deleting the Network Bridge (Step 1)).
At this point, the emulator can now connect to the internet (and Control Panel shows WPEIS finally 'has internet access'); however deployment of WP build binary from VS to emulator fails - it just hangs when I try to build-and-deploy from Visual Studio (so a new problem has surfaced (temporarily)).
....3: Returned to HyperV Manager, went back to Emulator VM's Virtual Switch Manager and reverted Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch from External back to Internal.
I can now successfully build-and-deploy WP build from Visual Studio to emulator. And emulator retains its networking ability. Also the host machine's network connection also returned to healthy.
I hope this helps someone. Good luck!
I went through many of the suggested solutions, also with no luck. What finally worked for me was to fix a vmware warning about guest OS trying to set promiscuous mode for ethernet adapter (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/287).
Try this solution, it works for me (no need of DHCP)
Step 1 - using Hyper-V start the server, once started u can see the two new network adapters added in the (network sharing) page.
Step 2 - go to your visual studio IDE where your application runs, using Emulator run your application, once started try to open IE, it will not connect to internet.
Step 3 - now again come back to network sharing page right click on external adapter which was created newly select properties, hit on sharing tab, now check the two options to have tick mark if not tick that two options and click on OK.
Step 4 - internal adapter which was created newly will be changing the domain name from Unidentified network to your shared Domain name, once changed try to access the IE again in emulator which runs already. now i hope the internet connection works.
Thanks,
Baskar
After spending about 3 days on this i finally got it working. (on Windows 8 using WiFi)
Start Fresh, Remove HyperV, Restart, Install Hyper V, Restart
Open your VS solution and run the emulator.
When prompted for letting the emulator access the internet say yes.
Let the emulator and your project fully load
Shut down the emulator and VS
Open Network and Sharing Centre
Click change Adapter Settings (on the left hand side)
You should have some new adapter created by HyperV, they should be called "vEthernet(...)"
The ones you are interested in are the vEthernet( Virtual Switch) and vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch)
Open the properties on your vEthernet( Virtual Switch) and navigate to the sharing tab.
Choose Allow other Network users to connect and choose the vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch) as the adapter
Ok the changes, and then open the properties on vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch)
Disable Internet Protocol Version 6 and double click on Internet Protocol Version 4
Use the following IP address: 169.254.169.177 Subnet mask:255.255.0.0
Click advanced, under the IP settings tab, assign an interface metric: 1
Open VS and re run your project under and emulator, wait a few minutes for it to load.
Try and open IE within the emulator and confirm you have internet access.
Good luck
After 3 days we have finally solved it. We had to make ip address dynamic. After making it dynamic emulator could reach internet. We didn't have to change anything else.
Good article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/wsdevsol/archive/2013/10/01/why-can-t-the-windows-phone-emulator-go-online.aspx
I had DHCP reservation on my router, like #robertftw said. I configured a static IP for vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch) adapter and everything works.
Disabling the Wifi, and Virtual Wifi inside "Network Connections" worked for me.
My Windows Phone emulator had been assigned an IP address by DHCP on a different Subnet to the one I am using.
Manually assigning an IP address on the same subnet as my PC to the vEthernet port created by Hyper-V resolved this issue.

Better understanding of Sonicwall VPN DNS and NETBIOS required

I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has successfully established a VPN connection through a Sonicwall (TZ-100) device on to a SBS-2008 network as I currently have VPN access (through the Sonicwall Global VPN Client), but I am currently using a local user account from the firewall device.
As I am not establishing the VPN request using my Windows-AD username and password, I am having to enter my windows credentials to access network resources. Launching Outlook does not show my mail (even if I type in my password when promted). If I type in \\MyServerName\SharedFolder into Explorer, then I see the 'offline' sync folders stored on my laptop. On the otherhand, if I type \\192.168.100.10\SharedFolder (lets assume this is the LAN IP4 address for my server), then once I enter my windows credentials, I can see ALL the 'online' folders. Currently, for mail, I am using OWA while connected on the VPN. This current approach is not ideal. I feel there is a DNS, NETBIOS problem with my current set up.
Question, so that I can work from home in a 'normal uninterrupted' manner, do I need to activate 1. Radius by itself?, 2. LDAP by itself? or 3. Radius + LDAP together? Any pointers would be helpful as I would like to approach the Sonicwall support team armed with a little more info and having read some friendly material.
The problem was resolved by changing the DNS address on the Sonicwall device to the server rather than inherritting the external DNS addresses from the ISP. Also the DHCP service was routed to the server for VPN traffic.
There is no need to set up any additional services on the server to get LDAP running on the Sonicwall device. With a little help from the Sonicwall support, my network now works as one would expect.

When running the downloadable CloudFoundry instance how do I retrieve the IP Address?

I have downloaded the Micro Cloud Foundry v1.1.0 instance and am configuring it to work offline per the instructions available here: http://blog.cloudfoundry.com/post/9962996319/working-offline-with-micro-cloud-foundry
However when I get ready to setup the SSH Tunnel (which I was successful with once before) I can't find the IP address anymore. According to the instructions it is supposed to be displayed where it shows "IP Address: (network up)" but it no longer is displaying.
Any idea on another way for me to get the IP Address of the instance?
Did you try menu option 1, refresh console to see if it comes up? Or menu option 8, restart network?
You should be able to also login to the Ubuntu console and see networking information. Press Alt-F2 to switch to a login prompt. For the username enter vcap and enter the password you gave when you first booted and configured the Micro Cloud Foundry VM. After you've logged in, run the command ifconfig to view network and IP information.
One last thing: confirm your VM NIC is set to NAT mode rather than Bridged. If you change it, be sure to reboot the VM for it to take effect.
