VPN - IP Addresses.

J

Jake

Server IP: 192.168.1.200
Client IP: 192.168.42.12

When the client logs on to the server using a VPN the client get IP
address : 192.168.1.109

From the client:
I can ping Server 192.168.1.200 and any other addresses on servers
range.

From the server :
I can ping the Clients 192.168.1.109

Is it possible so the server can ping all IP addresses on the Clients
range ???

IE: 192.168.42.10 / 192.168.42.20

A "normal" VPN connection is a client-server type connection. The client
sets up a default route to the server (so all traffic goes to the server),
but the server only sets up a host route back to the client. So nothing but
traffic for the actual calling machine is routed back.

To route traffic for the subnet behind the caller, you need to use the
demand-dial interface and static route setup used by router-to-router
connections. On the server, create a demand-dial interface. Using the New
Static Route wizard in RRAS, create a subnet route for the subnet behind
your calling machine (192.168.42.0 I presume), using the demand-dial
interface. The demand-dial interface name is a symbolic representation of
the connection.

When you connect, use the demand-dial interface name as the username for
the connection. When the connection is made, the route back will be added to
the routing table on the server, using the actual IP address allocated to
the connection.
