Re: Unable to access private network from the VPN (NAT)

I have two interfaces on the windows2k3 machine. The first interface is
192.168.1.181 and the second is .182 (yes they are on the same router)

I'm connecting to the VPN from an external site (some where over the internet)
Yes i'm connected to the vpn! The external machine gets an internal ip
address and its able to ping the interfaces on the VPN server. Not only that
if I allow routing to 192.168.1.69 on port 22 I can ssh to that machine from
the external computer. Yes the machine is on the VPN

Its not an "internet" issue
