RE: Can't reach HMC remotely

Yep. I can connect to everything available on the network: both IBM i's and
partitions, the PC server also on the net, the new tape autoloader for the
720.
I actually get the HMC initially. I get a page saying...

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.


The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a
different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or

Continue to this website (not recommended).
More information

When the 'Continue to this website' link is clicked, the laptops get a white
page, the desktops get the HMC login page.

Maybe it's a driver issue with the NIC card or the VPN software is having an
issue, can you connect to other things via the VPN on the same network.

I have both IBM and Sun Javas installed. I've tried disabling each

Java Sun: JRE 1.6.0_23

Here's a new wrinkle...

My co-worker that got it working? It was on his desktop. When he
tries his laptop, it DOES NOT work (that is, it stops exactly where
mine stops).
When
I installed our VPN client on my wife's desktop and tried connecting
to the HMC, IT WORKS FINE!

So, connecting to the HMC remotely via browser works on desktops, NOT
laptops?

Does that make anyone think of something that might help?

What version of Java do you have installed on your PC.

You on a different subnet then the other folks possibly.

Here's a tough one...

Just installed new HMC (v7r7 Release 2, service pack 1: latest
available) and installed new 720. HMC is configured and managing
two systems. Tried reaching HMC remotely and can't do it from my
PC. (We use a VPN to tunnel in remotely). Thing is, everybody else
CAN!
I've tried IE8, Firefox, disabling Norton firewall, checked ports
used by HMC are open, made sure popups are enabled in browser, Java
is enabled in browser, and even spent an hour on the phone with IBM
support, and they're baffled as well. I can reach the IBM i, the
TS2900 tape (via the browser), I can ping the HMC. I've compared
all the Internet options with the other users and all settings
match. Other
users are using Windows XP, like me.

Any ideas?

I've thought of removing Firefox and IE8 and reinstalling IE8 but I
don't think Windows allows removing the web browser.
