Hi there. I have installed Routing and Remote access on a Win2003 box. I can connect to it via VPN, and i am able to ping/access the server which has the IP 192.168.0.1 , but i am not able to ping other computers or the file server on that network. Does anyone know how to setup the "Routing & remote access" so that i can the file server which has 192.168.0.2. Thanks Talker.
Hi, Check the IP address you are assigned and the routes that are added. Also is the 192.168.0.0/16 network local?
I cant coz the file server is not actually a file server.. its a network drive attached to the network. I need to access it via the VPN server. Yes 192.168.0.0 is the local network. I see the following on the routing & remote access console: There are no static routes defined and i guess that is what i have to work on. But when i add a new "static route", i put in these details... Interface: Local Area Connection Destination: 192.168.0.2 (the network storage drive) Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: (empty) Metric: 1 I get this error: The network mask is not valid. The destination address cannot be more specific than the network mask. Here is a screenshot: Either i'm putting in the wrong details, or i'm on the wrong turn.. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi, When I said local network I meant the network from which you are connecting with the VPN client. If there is a address space conflict it could cause problems. on the vpn client paste the output of ipconfig /all As for the route your not specifying it correctly. It should be if you want access all of 192.168.0.0/24 (including the NAS device) Interface: Local Area Connection Destination: 192.168.0.0 (the network storage drive) Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: (empty) Metric: 1 Or the following if you want to ONLY access the NAS device) Interface: Local Area Connection Destination: 192.168.0.2 (the network storage drive) Network Mask: 255.255.255.255 Gateway: (empty) Metric: 1
Thanks for the reply. The VPN client is on a totally different address space (192.168.4.0) And the VPN-Server/NAS device is on a different address space (192.168.0.0). Here is the output of ipconfig /all of the VPN-Client. Yes i want to add seperate routes for each device i have on the network. so i used: Interface: Local Area Connection Destination: 192.168.0.2 (the network storage drive) Network Mask: 255.255.255.255 Gateway: cant leave empty Metric: 1 I could not leave the Gateway empty, so i tried putting in a. 192.168.0.2 b. 127.0.0.1 c. 0.0.0.0 All of these worked.. the route was added successfully. But which one of these should i be using? coz i cant access the NAS device with any one of them. Ping to 192.168.0.1 (VPN server) works. Ping to 192.168.0.2 (NAS storage device) times out. May be on the VPN client, i am accessing the NAS device incorrectly. How am i supposed to access the NAS devide at the VPN client? Talker.
