Re: IP address assignment for VPN computers

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

Hi Frankster,

I have this configuration:

| LAN S1 | -------------------[ INTERNET ] --------------------- | LAN S2 |

The idea here is to make LAN S1 and LAN S2 to act as if they were the same
LAN. For example, the server (that shares Internet with other LAN computers)
in LAN S1 is a development server, which stores documents and projects we
develop. A PC in LAN S2 needs to browse S1 computers using mapped drives so
that for S2 LAN PC's transparently connect a S1 LAN PC's as if it were on
the same LAN. Please, don't recommend the usage of WebDav since it doesn't
work in my case. I know that this is possible using VPN and it works but the
problem of IP assignment.

So, I need to configure a VPN that doesn't disable other connections. I
think this VPN doesn't do it since I can browse Internet from the server,
but I think the problem is that both server in S1 and S2 has it's internal
IP address of 192.168.0.1.

Thanks
Jaime
