VPN connection and mask

G

Guest

When I connect to my Win2003 RRAS server via VPN, either on dialup or
broadband connection, I am issued a mask of 255.255.255.255. Is this normal?

yes. it is. quoted from http://ChicagoTech.net
Why my XP VPN client's subnet mask is 255.255.255.255

This is by design. Since this connection is point to point, not point to net
or net to net, VPN server assigns 255.255.255.255 mask to the client.
