I am trying to allow my Virtual PC 2004 OS environemnts to use my VPN connection when connected to my corporate network.
I have a cable modem connected in to a DLINK network hub. The computer that hosts the Virtual PC 2004 environment is wired into this LAN and is running Windows XP Pro.
The Virtual PC newsgroup had some suggestions regarding how to connect to a LAN, but it doesn't seem to work with my VPN.
What I started doing was to install MS Loopback Adaptor and then created a loopback connection. I gave it an IP address subnet of 192.168.111. My DLINK router has its DHCP server subnet configured to 192.168.0.
First attempt was to create a Network Bridge between the VPN Connection and the Loopback Connection. This broke my ability to connect to the VPN network at work. The VPN client couldn't obtain an IP from the VPN server.
My second attempt was to use ICS on the VPN connection. When I select the Loopback Connection for the private network of the ICS and clickOK I get the following error.
"Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled.
A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address
that is required for automatic IP addressing."
I believe this must be due to ICS wnating to allocate addresses in the 192.168.0 range that my DLINK router is using.
Any recomendations on either changes to get the Network Bridge to work or to enable ICS?
Is there anyway to change what subnet IP range ICS uses? I would hate to change my DLINK router settings.
Is there something I can look at changing on my tunnel settings. Unfortuantely my IT support group doesn't support Virtual PC.
I have an Intel Pro 1000 NIC and Intel NetStructure VPN.
I appreciate any suggestions of what to look at to get this to work.
