RE: VPN via extended firewall toSBS2003

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

Hi Bill,

I can ping the IP number of the server, but I cannot ping the
servername.domain.local via the VPN

If the client is connected to my office network via a switch, I can ping
both the IP number and the servername.doamin.local

I have to check the subnet, will let you know
