Please correct my assumptions if there are wrong..
I have 3 computers at home all running Windows XP Pro behind a Linksys
router. All 3 computers have fixed IP addresses. I have Computer A
(192.168.1.100) to accept incoming connections and run as a VPN server.
I am able to connect to the VPN connection but now I can't run Remote
Desktop. I was under the assumption that once you VPN, its as if you're
physically on the network. I am trying to access Remote Desktop with all 3
of my computers through the VPN tunnel but it's not working.
For example, I have Computer A, Computer B, Computer C. I want to be able to
connect VPN through an outside computer and then run Remote Desktop. And not
just Remote Desktop on the computer acting as a VPN server, I want to able
to connect via Remote Desktop on Computer B and Computer C also.
I'm assuming the reason this is not working is because the outside computer
doesn't know whether to use the IP address from my Local Area Connection
adapter or the IP address from the PPP adapter (VPN connection).
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks,
Odell
