VPN login using hardware based VPN/ firewall device - cannot reach SBS internal network

L.S.


I have got and issue were I cannot find a solution for nor is mentioned on any forum (as far as a 48 hour search brought me)

I choose a hardware based firewall/VPN (bradn hotbrick) instead of the software based firewall VPN possibilities in SBS 2003.

Usind the SBS VPN (over PPTP) I can perfectly do everything I want on my remote network (in which the SBS2003 is situated)

Now I am trying to reach the same situation with the hardware based firewall. Her an overviw of my topology:

LOCATION 1 LOCATION 2

SBS 2003 VPN/firewall (device) modem/router client

192.168.18.2/192.168.2.6 ----192.168.2.1/x.x.x.x--WAN(internet)--x.x.x.x / 192.168.1.254---192.168.1.35

two things happen trying to reach SBS2003 over the hardware based VPN. I can ping 192.168.2.1 and I can access all services like Outlook Web Access, Remote Server Manegement (RDP over terminal server).

I cannot ping anything in the 192.168.18.x range (i ve already trie working with static routes in the SBS2003 ans in my VPN device (Hotbrick) nor can I get to \\servername to view the (shared)folder. It is also not possible to ping/reach clients behid the SBS2003 in the 192.168.18.x range.

When I try command: NET VIEW \\192.168.2.6 (which would be the WAN port of the SBS2003) I get Systemerror 5 - Access denied.

Is there somebody who can help me in this matter. My guess is that the standard security settings of SBS2003 forbid network access from WAN to LAN. In this case this does not need to be blocked as my Hardware Based VPN/firewall does the security work.

Thanks for all recations in advance,

Rob
