Re: Connecting to DC using VPN changes IP address for LAN clients

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

That would be true if we were talking about a physical NIC. But in this
case we are talking about the internal interface in RRAS.

Hi there

I've got a windows 2003 server machine as domain controller and several
windows XP pro clients all of which connect via a Linksys router. The DC
has routing and remote access configured. The Win2003 server has a static
IP address and the clients are DHCP assigned by the router. Server and
clients all have NetBios enabled over TCP/IP.

Before a VPN connection is made everything works fine on the LAN - I ping
the server by name (not IP address) from a workstation and it uses the
server's fixed IP address correctly. Then someone connects to the VPN and
the server gets a new IP address for the "PPP adapter RAS Server (Dial
In) Interface" as well. Now when I ping the server from a LAN
workstation, it incorrectly uses the new IP address and gets 4 x "request
timed out".

This behaviour causes some problems: the network becomes very slow and
occasionally the clients can't access server resources.

I would like the LAN client's server access to be unaffected by VPN
access to the server. Can anyone *please* tell me how to go about this?

Thanks,

Jools

I believe you can avoid DNS registering by turning it off for that adapter
or network connection
don't know where and how anymore though, sorry
