Not so long ago I posted a thread regarding port forwarding via putty and SSH.
A quick update on that, didn't quite work out as planned resulting in a laptop or 2 being hurled off the 4th floor
Trying the VPN route now and everything works great till the connection is established. The client PC logs onto the server fine but soon as it does, all internet access is lost on the client PC.
No web browsing, downloading or anything. Strange thing is I can still RDP into the server even with the VPN connection up.
This suggests that the server is not forwarding requests from the VPN connection to the internet and sending the information back.
On the connection status, the received bytes remains at 338 and on the server side, the sent bytes remains at 338.
Any ideas on how to solve this? tried with no firewalls etc. Routers are set to PPTP pass through.
EDIT
A few bits of info:
Client PC LAN IP: 10.68.31.29
Client Gateway: 10.68.31.254
Server LAN IP: 10.0.0.101
Server Gateway IP: 10.0.0.254
VPN Connection IP: 192.168.2.1 <-- Have no idea where this IP comes from
EDIT 2
Solved it, like a total plank, I didn't set the IP range on the server that the connection should assign to the clients
Now the questions:
Is the data already encrypted?
Is there anyway to improve the encryption?
Finally, how can network drives, printers etc be mapped on the client PC's?
