General confusion

May 03 04 10:41 pm

I have been running a VPN solution for a while using std MS software connection to a cisco router. The problem we have now is that a client we need to have access from only allows access on proxied port 80. I have installed Wingate vpn and configured on port 80 . Both machines are behind routers and the server has a port forward to the wingate vpn server. I can connect to the server however I can't browse the remote network or see how to ping.

The remote server is showing but cannot browse. Also cannot see any new local ip addresses than translate to the remote network.

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Paul,

Have you enabled file and print sharing on the remote VPN server? Also, the other machines on the LAN will need to have the VPN server as their default gateway to be visible on the VPN. Are you getting any error messages? Can you see the machines on the VPN?

Both machines are part of a bigger network and they do have file and print sharing (xp pro) on there lan adapters. ( 1 adapter per machine)

I would have thought that another adapter would have been installed to handle the VPN traffic? THe ip routing table etc is all confiured to use the normal lan card. I don't see how you can send data down the VPN as there is no extra adapter or ip address. I just can't see how it would work.

Hi Paul,

I've just sent you a document with guidelines for setting up a VPN, I hope that it helps.
