Vpn Question?

That's ok, but once you are connected to that VPN, you are on your office. What's the LAN IP of that network? The point is that after you are connected, you don't have any IP address for your VPN. Take a look at your second IPCONFIG, only the Wireless adapter has an IP (192.168.1.6), the others interfaces NO!

So, how does this work? You said that when you are connected you can't ping and so on, but you can map REMOTE network drive. What is the IP of remote network drive? Just to understand on which class you are working now.

Ok well the network drive im mapping is on the server so 192.168.1.2. This is probobally why its working, because im connected to the server right?

But nothing onwards works, 192.168.1.3 onwards, cant ping

However when i ping my printer, 192.168.1.200 over the vpn it says

Reply from 192.168.1.4: destination host unreachable

So it knows its there, and also changes the ip for sone reason?

Thanks
 
Finally we get the point.

You can connect via VPN but you DON'T have an IP, or, better, there's a problem.

Your LAN at your home is: 192.168.1.0
Your LAN at WORK is: 192.168.1.0

Now when you try to do something on your network (let's say a ping), your router tries to send packet on your LAN because of the IP address 192.168.1.X is on the same class as your PC! Your router doesn't know anything about the other network.

First, you must understand WHY you don't have another NIC with another IP (you say it is assigned by DHCP, but this is not true). Then we can investigate on how to get rid of this problem. I never had a problem like this because I ever set to the firewall another IP class which usually is not used by nobody.

Let me know.
 
ok thanks so where do i change the VPN ip address. do you mean i need to put the local IP of my computer on a different SUBNET to the LAN that im connecting to. So right now thyre on the same subnet

eg, 192.168.1.1 current network on my laptop
192.168.1.1 VPN LAN network IP

so when im pinging, its not sure which network to ping on?

like local or over the VPN?

thanks again for you patience!

your awesome

PS. check you inbox, i PMed you
 
Actually you could change your LOCAL (home) connection:

For example use 10.0.0.1 for your router and 10.0.0.10 for your PC (this is an example).

Your VPN IP (public) is fine. Don't change it.

You just need to understand WHY your server is not giving an IP address to your client!
 
so heres where im at, home network (away from server) is now 10.0.0.1 (gateway) and DHCP range is 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.50

Heres what i did on the server to try to get it to assign ips via DHCP to incomming VPN connections

OPened network and policies and changed this:

then changed it in here to assign automatically

Also changed it in the NAT settings, which im not sure if NAT is even working?
