Re: VPN users are unable to access the private network =/

This actually didnt help much, i'm sorry I guess I should have said that i'm
unable to ping these machines. I don't care about the DNS names I just want
them to be able to reach any ip on the network.

I can ping BOTH interfaces on the VPN server
I can reach machines on the network if I forward specific ports to the
computers on the private network

Any other ideas??

Thanks for the help...
