Re: SBS 2003, ISA 2004 and VPN Problem

At first blush it sounds like you have not set up a site to site VPN. You've set up a client-server VPN instead. So basically traffic is not passing through the gateway device, whichever device you've tried to configure to be such. It is acting as an endpoint, not a gateway.

Hi

I have setup what I think is a site to site VPN connection to another network (Windows 2003 server domain) via a router with a login. At the moment this is just PPTP. I believe I have set up the network and network rules correctly.

I have also enabled PPTP traffic over the firewall, so:

1) I can set up a workstation with a Windows XP VPN connection to connect to the VPN and can browse the other server's IP address crossing the Firewall.
2) I can browse to the other server's IP address from the SBS server, and after getting a login prompt, can connect. This is with no extra VPN connection set.
3) From the local workstations, I can browse to the IIS on the other server (I guess this is anonymous, hence no problem).

However, from the local workstation, I cannot see the remote server, even with the Firewall Client uninstalled. I can't even ping from the workstation to the remote server, whereas I can on the SBS server.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks
