Re: Setting up a VPN Gateway on a Win2K server

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



1. The subnet mask and gateway address that you see are not causing your
problem. They are correct. You are using a point-to-point connection, so the
gateway address for the client is its "received" IP address (ie the address
it receives from the VPN server).

2. You do not need to allow the private IP addresses to pass through your
firewall. Private addresses cannot cross the Internet, so they can't come
through in any case! When the VPN data comes through the firewall it is
encrypted and encapsulated, so the firewall doesn't see its private address.
It only sees the public IP of the wrapper.

3. Are you sure it isn't a name resolution problem. Can you contact a LAN
machine using its IP address? If you can, routing is working.
