Re: Connect to Small Business Server VPN

I read another post from this newsgroup that once connected via VPN that the
client will take the internal network's gateway. In my situation this does
not happen therefore leading me to think that my VPN server is assigning the
wrong IP configuration. However it is my remote client that is
experienceing the lack of connectivity issue, but only at random times. On
Tuesday he connected but was not able to access any computers on the
internal network, then Wednesday he could, but then Thursday he was not able
again. No, there isn't a policy on when the VPN is available. At times
when he had a bad connection the status of the VPN showed that he was
sending packets but not receiving. This seems to be random.

Nguyen,

The DG and SNM on this client look correct. This is how RRAS handles
those numbers.If you're having problems, specifically what are those
problems?

well in order to properly troubleshoot this, need to see it from a
machine
that is outside the network and having the issue
VPN does not work from inside the LAN

Actually the subnet is correct on a VPN

can you got to a workstation that is connected by VPN and go to
command prompt and run
IPCONFIG /all and post the results here

Please don't mask the addresses. These are "private" not
routeable
so it doesn't matter.

Cris,

Thanks for the response. The internal network is using
192.168.X.1. The remote clients are assigned IP address and gateways
that
are identical. The subnet is also wrong. For instance this is what a
client
will be assigned once connected via VPN:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.X.10

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.X.10

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.X.2

Is your internal SBS network using 192.168.0.X or
192.168.1.X?
I ask because most home users are going to all be on these
same
subnets when connecting remotely and this causes all kinds of
browsing/connecting issues.

When using the Connection Manager packaged with SBS2003 to
establish a VPN,
clients are assigned invalid subnets and gateway
addresses.
Clients are
then unable to access or ping computers on the internal
network. I had this
working fine some time ago, but somewhere along the line
it
went haywire.
I've tried re-running the "Configure Remote Access" on the
To
Do List in
Server Management, but that did not resolve the issue.
I've
been
researching and I have made sure that the Router setting
within the Scope
Options in DHCP are set to the server's internal IP
address.
Any help or
suggestions is much appreciated.
