I have a test network set up. I have on machine as the vpn server. LAN side
is 10.200.86.200 WAN side is 10.201.91.x and this is the side assigned to
accept VPN connections. I have the VPN server set to use a static pool of
addresses (10.200.86.106-10.200.86.107). As it is supposed to, the VPN
server takes 10.200.86.106 for itself. The client VPNs in and gets the
10.200.86.107 as it's IP address. Problem is, it sets it's gateway as
10.200.86.107 (itself) which keeps the client from pinging anything else
within the LAN (such as 10.200.86.231). Question is: How can I tell the VPN
server what IP address I want it to dish out to the client yet still use a
pool as the IP address source. I know I can use full DHCP but it doesn't
seem right that they would design it like this. 1 Alternative was to
manually assign the client's address and specify the gateway as i see fit
but i shouldn't have to do that. Is there something that I have not looked
at yet that tells the VPN server what addres to use as the gateway for
clients that it assigns an address to?

Thanks
Rick
