VPN and accessing shares in my Network...

[Andrej Snedic]

Hello there,

I am new to VPN so I have a question:

I need to make an VPN connection to VPN server computer which is located in
my 'home' network. MS ISA Server computer (gateway) sends VPN requests to
VPN Server and everything works fine. I am connected to my 'home' VPN
computer and I am able to access its resources (shares, printers, remote
desktop, ...)

My question is how can I access resources on other computers in this 'home'
network - like shares on my working computer?

LAN is on 192.160.0.xxx
WAN adapter is on 192.168.1.1
VPN assigns IPs from 192.168.5.100-110

The remote computers from where I usually make VPN connections to my VPN
computer is usually on 192.168.0.xxx.
I tried to change assiging IPs on VPN computer from 192.168.0.100-110, so it
sometimes worked when I tried to VPN on it and access my home workstation
which is on 192.168.0.5, but since two adapters really cant be on the same
subnet I think this is bad idea and I am looking for beter solution.
Thanks.

Oh and VPN computer is running Windows 2003 Standard as ISA server computer
('gateway') is.

Have a nice time,
-Andrej

Hi,
Since your Local LAN and VPN are on a diferent subnet
You need configure NAT so that the IPaddress provided by VPN can
communicate with the other network

I wouldn't think NAT was the way to go. But you do need to modify the
routing when the remotes are in a different subnet from the LAN machines.

Basically, you need to enable the RRAS server as a LAN router as well as
a remote access server. You may also need extra routing on the LAN if the
RRAS server is not the default gateway of the home LAN.

Note that this will only give you IP routing. It will not automatically
give you name resolution, lika LAN connection will.
