Secure server access - "server isn't responding"

Hi


Can you help? My company operates a secure server, and I am completely unable to access on my MBP. I can dial in via Microsoft Remote Desktop to my 'company dell laptop' but I would rather use my MBP. I use an authenticator to connect to this, which gives me access to our company sites/servers.


Is there anyway to connect to the secure site using my apple products?

Talk about this with your company's network administrator. Maybe they have Mac address filtering or some other access security active. Make sure your client is correctly configured for access to the specific access point.

Dial in is really an alternative??



Is this a new issue?


You supply no link to test on this end—maybe you can not share this info(?)


This is an error code: "Secure server access - "server isn't responding" makes it sound like a server issue, not a Mac issue.

Did you call your IT and ask if the server is up? Any known issues?




You can ping the server/ you can run a traceroute to see if it stalls.


From spotlight search (command spacebar) "Network Utility.app"


Traceroute> copy and paste your Internet address in question> Trace
