VPN Routing Advice

[Curtis Fray]

Hi,

I've set up a VPN connection between siteA (on 192.168.184.0 range) and
siteB (on 192.168.204.0 range). Both servers are running Windows 2003 with
SP1. I've set up RRAS on siteA as the main VPN server. RRAS on siteB is
configured to establish a secure connection into siteA (within RRAS).

I can make the VPN connection without a problem. I've set up a static route
on the siteB RRAS to route 192.168.184.0 traffic through its VPN connection.
This allow me to ping the machines on siteA without a problem.

However, the problem I'm having is although I've added a static IP on the
siteA RRAS to route 192.168.204.0 traffic through its NIC that has the VPN
configured, when I try and ping machines in siteB I'm just getting a time
out error. If I do a tracert it doesn't seem to get any further than the
siteA RRAS.

Can anyone think of anything obvious I may have missed? I've not set up this
kind of site to site VPN connection before so may have missed something
obvious.

Thanks in advance,

Curtis.

Ok, I've managed to get this working from each RRAS server. What I did was
set up a two way connection so siteA has a connection into siteB and vice
versa. From each RRAS server I can ping everything on the other's LAN.

The problem I'm having now (which I'm sure is just a routing issue) is I
can't get the workstations on each LAN to ping the other LAN. I have a route
in place so any traffic from the clients going from siteA to siteB gets
routed to siteA's RRAS server but it fails to go on any further from here
even though there's a route on siteA's RRAS server instructing the traffic
to go through the VPN tunnel.

Does anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong this time?

Thanks,

Curtis.
