Re: RRAS as VPN Server Configuration Questions...



We may have many issues with this configuration. The DNS should be 127.0.0.1. However, that is no thing to do with the routing issue.
 
The routing problem is the DW should be 192.168.10.1 instead of 192.168.20.1.

Robert,

    Thanks for the reply.  Here is a dump before any manual modifications
I've tried (MAC Addresses have been removed for security reasons).  More
info on the network setup I forgot to mention in the original post is in the
reply to Bill Grant.

Thanks for any help,

It is not recommended to enable RRAS on a DC. However, if you configure it
correctly, it should work. It seems to me this is routing issue. Have you
enable IP routing on the server? or posting the routing table here may help.

Hi all,

I have a client with a single Windows 2000 Advanced Server controlling a
local domain (abc.local).  This very small company (1 Server, 4 Workstations
and 2 Laptops) CANNOT afford a second server.  However, they wish to enable
remote access (VPN).  I have configured the network in the following way:

Cable/DSL Modem
   |
Router #1
   |     \
   |      \
   |       \
Router #2   Server
   |       /
   |      /
   |     /
   Switch
      |
Rest of network

Router #1:
  WAN IP: Dynamic (Set by ISP - FOR NOW, client will get static IP after
RRAS working)
          (IP, Mask, Gateway and DNS configured through ISPs DHCP)
  LAN IP: 192.168.10.1
  LAN Mask: 255.255.255.0
  DNS Relay: Enabled
  Everything blocked Except:
    IPSec Passthrough Enabled
    PPPoE Passthrough Enabled
    PPTP Passthrough Enabled
    Ext.Port TCP 1723 Forwarded to
      Int.Port TCP 1723 on Server NIC #2: 192.168.10.2

Router #2:
  WAN IP: 192.168.10.10
  WAN Mask: 255.255.255.0
  WAN Gateway: 192.168.10.1
  LAN IP: 192.168.20.1
  LAN Mask: 255.255.255.0
  DNS Relay: Enabled
  Everything blocked

Server:
  NIC #1: configured and connected to internal network via Switch (intranet)
  NIC #1 IP: 192.168.20.2
  NIC #1 Mask: 255.255.255.0
  NIC #1 Gateway: 192.168.20.1
  NIC #2: configured and connected to external network via Router #1
(internet)
  NIC #2 IP: 192.168.10.2
  NIC #2 Mask: 255.255.255.0
  OS: Windows 2000 Advanced Server (All updates applied)
      PDC - abc.local
      Active Directory
      DHCP - Scope (192.168.20.10 - 192.168.20.250)
      DNS - Standard Files; NOT Active Directory Stored
      WINS
      Routing And Remote Access - * currently disabled *

At this point everything is working beautifully!  Then I configure RRAS.
During setup I choose Remote Access NOT VPN Server, because I read VPN
Server mode is for a stand-alone server not a PDC.  With just that
configured everything is still working fine (internal workstations have
access to the internet and can browse locally) and remote clients can
connect.  However, remote clients cannot even ping internal workstations,
all they see is the server.  When attempting to ping an internal workstation
from the remote client by name, the name is resolved to an IP address.  So,
I'm assuming that the clients are resolving (seeing) the DNS and this is a
route problem?  I know I can NOT put a default gateway on NIC #2 to point at
NIC #1, so I've tried adding a route from NIC #2 to the loopback
(127.0.0.1)?

The BIG QUESTION, is everything I need to configure to get this working in
RRAS GUI or do I need to configure routes manually through "route add -p"???
The smaller BIG QUESTION is can anybody please help with specifics not
generics?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
