Trying to set up a VPN between myself and my son with limited success!
Can anyone point me to a link where there is a guide for doing this?
We seem to be stuck on what IP range to allocate for the VPN itself.
We are both on 192.168.1.x networks, both in the HOME workgroup and we
have actually managed to access each other's folders once but now it
won't work again? If I use the range 192.168.1.200-205 for the VPN,
which I know isn't being used on either network then we can connect
fine but cannot seem to 'see' each other in my network places/entire
network/microsoft windows network/home - although it did work once and
we could transfer data - now it's stopped again and neither of us has
changed anything. Another feature I have discovered is that when this
VPN is active, I can no longer ping my NAS server which is on
192.168.1.2 until I disconnect the VPN. All very confusing and
obviously we are doing something wrong so any help really appreciated.
Router is a Linksys WRT54GS and all correct ports are set to forward
at each end. This must be OK as the connection is made fine afer
username/password is entered.
TIA
cheers,
Len
