Re: Remote Users (VPN) cant access Shares

Yes, the client gets his IP from the Server when he VPNs to it.
His IP is listed in the DHCP list as a dynamically assigned IP
If he logs of and on again he gets a different one (but within range)

Hi,

Do you use DHCP on your network?
Is the VPN client set up to use this DHCP?

OK, so Remote Users are controlled through Remote Access Policy (RAP).
Everything works fine, VPN, shares etc. Ive not messed anything up or
changed default settings.

Ive run Configure Email/Internet etc and had a good look around for a
reason
why VPN remote access users cant CMD Ping the "Server" when connected.

The only thing I found was that the remote users are recieving a
255.255.255.255 subnet mask rather than 255.255.255.0 which is what my
LAN
uses.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
