MS IPSec Diagnostic - failed localhost ping
Hi,I've been trying to figure this one out without much luck.I'm trying to trouble shoot a VPN connection and am using the MS IPSec Diagnostic tool.I have a different behaviour on XP and Vista (works fine on XP)on Vista, when I start the tool in local mode, I get a failed localhost ping, but when I type ping localhost on the command line it works fine.Is there a problem with the tool?Is it accessing an internal layer that is misconfigured?Suggestions are welcome.ThanksP

I did figure this one out.It's quite interesting actually.As I checked the logs generated by the tools, I noticed that the logs indicate that the ping localhost was working. I thought then that the tool was mis-interpreting the cmd line results. and why would it do that ?Maybe because I had the GUI in french.Switched it back to english - et voila - works.as it turns out, the IPSec diagnostic tool is language sensitive - make sure you use english - it is not as smart as the ping tool which switches its messages to the vista setting.Hope this helpsP.
