Hi all,
At work, we run a Windows 2003 SBS Standard server which I am trying to VPN into.

We setup a user in Active Directory called "vpn" and added it to the Mobile Users group. We then setup a VPN using the Routing and Remote access wizard. So now, I can VPN into work fine. This only connects me to the SBS server however, when I was expecting to just be on the network as normal, and access the Linux webserver we have. Also, my local internet connection is killed completely when I connect over the VPN, so I can't visit any websites whatsoever.

Does anyone know:
1) How do setup Routing and Remote Access so I am fully on the network and can access the other servers etc on there?
2) How to maintain my local internet connection, or use the remote connection so I can still browse the web?

Any help greatly appreciated.
Matt

Click to expand...
On the VPN connection (client side), Properties > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced > Untick 'Use gateway on remote network'.

Connect to the VPN and post the output of an 'ipconfig /all', and 'route print'

Cool, i now have 'net access at the same time now. Cheers :D

So, work's router is 192.168.8.1, the SBS server is 192.168.8.3, and there is a server on 192.168.8.5 that I am trying to access (but can't).

Have you tried just pinging IP addresses on the remote network? Trying to find out if it's a config issue on the RRAS box, or name resolution.

I've tried pinging the other server at work (192.168.8.5) from my local PC, and get the following:

Code: 
C:\Documents and Settings\Matt>ping 192.168.8.5

Pinging 192.168.8.5 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 192.168.8.5:
    Packets: Sent = 2, Received = 0, Lost = 2 (100% loss),

It is a Fedora Core 3 Linux server, running Apache on port 80, so it is definately pingable.

BTW, we also have another Windows 2003 server (Standard I think) on the same domain, ip address 192.168.8.106 which isn't pingable from my local PC. Do i need to setup some "Static Routes" in the Routing manager to point to these two servers?

Na, you already have a route to the remote network. Must be a configuration issue. Been a while since I've seen anyone use RRAS for remote access, let me a start a VM and take a look...

Otacon,
Just re-read the thread - you give the impression that this isn't the best or most common way of attaching a PC onto a remote network via VPN. If there is a better way, I'd be more than happy to give it a shot. It is only setup this way as it is the first method I came across.

Could I catch you on MSN? No worries if not...

Cheers,
Matt

Once you're connected to the vpn have you tried bringing up a command prompt to connect to the drives/computers you want?


Been a while since I used it but I think the command is:

net use f: //IPADDRESSofmachinedriveyouwanttoconnectto

If all goes well it should ask you for a username and password.

Thanks for the reply - the problem is more that I can't ping any other IP address than the one I VPN onto. I have a Linux web server running that I want to be able to view remotely, but can only get onto the main Windows server, and no-where else.
