VPN not assigning correct
subnet mask
----------
Hey guys,
So I
have a Windows XP Pro
machine setup on my
network and I have it to
accept incoming
connections for VPN. I
have set up the
appropriate ports on my
router and on my firewall
for VPN. I seem to be
having some issues
though. I have my father
connect to my VPN from
his house to my network
(different locations) and
it connects. He is asked
the user name and
password and I can see
him connected on the VPN
"server". the issue is
that he can't remote into
any of my other machines
on my network. I think
that I have traced it
down to the fact that for
some reason, my VPN
server is giving him a
subnet mask of
255.255.255.255 instead
of 255.255.255.0. All of
my other computers on my
network all have the same
subnet mask with a 0 as
the last number set, yet
his is being assigned as
255. I have tried a few
different settings: I let
the Incoming VPN
Connection settings
automatically assign IP
and Subnet Mask addresses
to all incoming
connections. I have told
it to use a certain IP
range when assigning IP
addresses. Unfortunately
it doesn't allow me to
assign an exact subnet
mask or a range for the
subnet mask. My ultimate
goal is to connect to my
network via VPN while I
am away and then remote
into one of my difference
machines, depending on
what I need. So via the
tests, it appears that I
can't remote into them
because as of right now,
the client machine can't
"see" or detect the other
machines on my network.
Hopefully that makes
sense.
Any help
would be extremely
helpful!! Thanks!

Oh, and I can
remote into any of the
machines on either my LAN
or via WAN, it works
either way, just if I VPN
first then try to connect
to my machine via remote,
it doesn't work.
Thanks!!!
:-)

P.S. My father's
machine, the client that
we are testing everything
on, is a Vista machine
and my VPN server is an
XP Pro machine. Both are
x86. |
