Small Business Server 03 VPN IP problem
MrHanMan <mrhanman[ at ]gmail.com> 06.07.2007 20:53:56
I have a client with an SBS 03 server. while installing it, i tested
the VPN remotely from my office and everything worked fine. She is
now on the road and trying to connect back. The connection is
established and an IP is given, but she's unable to access resources
on the server. The problem, I believe, is that the remote network
she's connecting through hands out IPs on the 192.168.1.0 subnet. The
DHCP server on the network she's VPNing to is also handing out IPs on
the 192.168.1.0 subnet. Assuming my conclusion is correct (IP routing
problem), is there a way to change the IPs handed out to VPN clients
to a subnet other than the one the server resides on? i.e. the server
is on 192.168.1.0, can 192.168.2.0 be given to VPN clients? Will this
solve the problem? I know I can change the address scheme of her
office network, but I'd rather not, if possible.

Thanks for your help.

nevermind. i figured it out. the remote server wizard let's you
configure a range of IPs handed to VPN clients.

Did changing the subnet solve the problem of not being able to access
resources on the server?
