Hello

I have a w2k server and XP clients I have my VPN set up on
my 2K server and connections on my client side. My
clients are connecting to the server but when they open
the internet browser and type in the address of the server
they get a message that page could not be displayed Is
there anyone that could possibly help me out

Thanks

What address are they typing in? If you connect to a server using a VPN
connection, you are "inside" the LAN. You need to use the server's private
IP to connect to its resources. You cannot access a web server on it using
its public IP.

Hi

After I connect to the VPN I open my browser and type in
http://and my server static address and that when I
receive the page could not be displayed. My client are
set up with the router public address and they connect to
the VPN but that is as far as they can get

Thanks for all help

Can your remote clients ping that IP? If they can, they should be able
to open the web page.

I am not sure why you would want to access a web server via VPN. Is it
designed for internal use only?
