Re: Unable to access server resources via vpn

1) How have you set up the VPN? PPTP? IPSec? Client and server? third party tools?
2) Are you running SBS 2000, 2003, 2003 R2, Standard, Premium?
3) Are you running a firewall between your server and the internet? ISA (SBS Premium) or third party firewall?

It sounds like a firewall issue to me initially, but so many possibilities still exist for exactly where the problem lies that there needs to be *A LOT* more info before advice can be given...

Hi

I am connecting a remote win xp pro pc to an sbs server via a vpn dialup connection. The connection is made OK and ipconfig/all displays the following;

...

PPP adapter MyVPNConnection

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.13
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.13
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.2
Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.16.2

However when I try to ping 192.168.16.2 it fails. Also trying to access network shares via \\192.168.16.2\MyShare fails too. How can I access the server as if the client pc is connected to the LAN remotely?

Thanks

Regards
