12.5 Error Codes

While you are using the PacketiX VPN 2.0 software you may see an error message, an error code, or both at the same time. This section provides you with a list so that you can easily determine error messages from error codes, and discusses the main causes of these errors.

Error 1: Connection to server failed. Check network connection, and address and port number of destination sever.

This error occurs when a connection attempt to the hostname/IP address and port entered by the user fails. When this error occurs you should check to make sure your computer is connected to the network and that the hostname/IP address and port number you entered is correct.

Error 2: Protocol error occurred. Error was returned from destination server.

This error is displayed when a VPN client computer attempts to establish a connection to a VPN server, but the VPN server returns an error. When this error occurs you should check to make sure that the VPN server software is functioning properly and that the hostname/IP address and port number is correct. Also, you should update the VPN server software and the VPN client software to the latest versions if they are out of date.

Error 3: Connection was disconnected.

This error occurs when you are making an administrative connection to the VPN server software or to the VPN client software via VPN Client Manager and the network suddenly fails, the remote software abnormally shuts down, the connection is dropped by the user or the system, or the service is restarted. If you encounter this error, try reconnecting to the server.

Error 4: Protocol error occurred.

This error occurs when a VPN client computer attempts to establish a connection to a VPN server and an error occurs during the SSL initialization stage. When this error occurs you should check to make sure that the VPN server software is functioning properly and that the hostname/IP address and port number is correct. This error often occurs when port 443 on the VPN server computer is being used by some other software and you are attempting to connect to PacketiX VPN Server on that port. This error can also be caused by a proxy server or transparent firewall.

Error 5: A client that is not PacketiX VPN software has connected to the port.

This error occurs when software other than the VPN client software connects to an open listener port on the VPN server computer. If this error is being reported constantly in your log files then the listener port provided by the VPN server could be getting port scanned.

Error 6: A user issued the cancel command.

This error occurs when a user (including the system administrator) cancels a process while it is still running. This error is usually always caused by the user and is normally nothing to worry about.

Error 7: The server denied the specified authentication method.

This error occurs when a VPN client computer requests an authentication method that is not available on the VPN server computer.

Error 8: The specified Virtual HUB does not exist on the server.

This error occurs when a VPN client computer connects to a VPN server computer and the specified Virtual HUB name does not exist on that VPN server.

Error 9: User authentication failed.

This error occurs when a VPN client computer attempts to connect to a VPN server computer's Virtual HUB, but the user could not be authenticated. This is commonly due to a user error such as specifying the wrong authentication method, inputting the wrong username or password, providing the wrong certificate and private key, etc. Check over all of your authentication information and try the connection again.

Error 10: The specified Virtual HUB is currently stopped. Wait for a while and then reconnect.

This error means that the specified Virtual HUB was set to "Offline" status at the time when the connection was made. If the Virtual HUB is not online then it can not receive incoming connection requests from VPN client computers.

Error 11: The VPN session was deleted. It is possible that either the administrator disconnected the session or the connection from the client to the VPN Server was disconnected.

This can occur if an administrator forcibly closes the VPN session while a VPN connection is established between a VPN client and VPN server, or the VPN server computer and/or Virtual HUB were restarted and the session times out. In most cases this problem can be solved by re-establishing the VPN session.

Error 12: Access was denied.

This error occurs when a VPN client makes some request to a VPN server, or a command is given to the VPN server from an administration tool such as VPN Server Manager or vpncmd that is not allowed under the client's access privileges. This error could also be displayed when a user attempts to connect to a VPN but their account is disabled.

Error 13: Time-out occurred during VPN session communication. It is possible the connection from the client to the VPN Server was disconnected.

This error occurs if network conditions become unstable while a VPN session is established between a VPN client and VPN server. In most cases this problem can be solved by re-establishing the VPN session.

Error 14: Protocol number is invalid.

This error is generally never displayed.

Error 15: There are too many TCP/IP connections.

This error is generally never displayed.

Error 16: There are too many sessions connected to either the destination server or Virtual HUB.

This error occurs when a VPN client attempts to connect to a VPN server's Virtual HUB, but the maximum number of simultaneous sessions allowed by that server or Virtual HUB are already connected so a new session can not be created.

Error 17: Connection to proxy server failed.

This error occurs when a VPN client attempts to connect to a VPN server via a HTTP or SOCKS proxy server, but a connection to the specified proxy server could not be established. If you encounter this error, check your proxy server settings and try again.

Error 18: An error occurred on the proxy server.

This error occurs when a VPN client attempts to connect to a VPN server via a HTTP or SOCKS proxy server, but some error is encountered after the connection is established to the designated proxy server. In most cases this error occurs when attempting to make a VPN connection through a proxy server that can not be used in such a way. If you encounter this error, check your proxy server settings and try again. Also, check with your proxy server's administrator to find out exactly what type of error is occurring on the proxy server.

Error 19: User authentication failed on the proxy server.

This error occurs when a VPN client attempts to connect to a VPN server via a HTTP or SOCKS proxy server, but the specified username and password failed to be authorized by the proxy server.

Error 20: There are too many sessions by the same user.

This error is generally never displayed.

Error 21: A license error occurred on the VPN Server. Contact the VPN Server's administrator.
