Re: Problem with VPN setup

I used unassigned addresses to create a static pool.

Do I need to configure a route?

When I connected last night, I tried to ping other servers but I got a
time out message. I can ping or connect with VNC on the machine
running the VPN.

I will try again tonight.

Hi, One NIC is fine. Usually I decide how many connections I will be
supporting, if I am using RRAS for VPN it would not be many anyway. I then
create an exclusion in DHCP and the IP Tab in Server (local) create a static
pool based on the DHCP exclusion. The RRAS will assign itself the first
address in the pool which you will be able to see under IP Routing/General.
When you connect from your client you will then take one of teh remaining IP
addresses in the pool. You can see the connection under "Remote Access
Clients". Right click and select status.

Can you browse the Web on the VPN client when connected? check "use default
gateway on remote network" under the General tab of the client TCP/IP
settings (Advanced).

Also can you ping another node on your network by IP?

What error do you see when you try to access other devices through the VPN
connection?

The VPN connection point to the correct DNS and WINS and it gets an IP
address from the DHCP.

The server who is accepting VPN connections has only 1 NIC. Is that
the problem?

GL - another thing to consider is name resolution , you can test this by
adding an entry to your hosts file.

Hi John,

Yes, that helped.

I modified it as you said.

I will have to try tonight.

I will also forward port 47 to the server then.

Thanks!

If you open Routing and Remote Access, right click your Server (local) and
select properties under General Place a check in Router then select LAN
routing only. This should allow you to access the LAN.

With PPTP you need to use 1723 and 47 . or UDP 500 and 1723

Does this help?

Hi,

I have used Routing and Remote Access on my Windows 2003 SP2 server to
create a VPN server.

It is working, but not like I was expecting.

I granted permissions to a few users but when they connect, they can
only access the server with the VPN, not the rest of the network.

I have a firewall in front of it but it allows VPN passthru and port
1723 is forwarded to the server.

What do I need to check to make sure that the network is available?

Thanks!
