Re: Direct Dial Routing Issue

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

To route between the clients behind the servers you need to set up a
site to site VPN (also called a router to router or LAN to LAN VPN link).

The details are explained in the help files. If you need more info, try
www.microsoft.com/vpn .

In brief, a site to site VPN does not set up any routes by default. You
need to set up demand-dial interfaces and configure subnet routes linked to
these interfaces. When the VPN connects, the routes become active and route
traffic through the VPN link for the "other" site.
