Hello,
We are currently considering a purchase of the WingateVPN and have implimented the trial version. However, we are unable to establish a good connection.
The setup:
VPN server with Wingate VPN installed is on a box behind our firewall. For the purpose of testing, we have enabled a direct nat translation of all traffic from all ports, we plan on limiting this to ports 808, and 809 after we get this working. Our internal IP net is 192.168.1.1-255
The function of the VPN is to simply get an IP address from our network so that home users can work as if they were in the building with no restrictions on applications etc.
Again, for testing, I am using my laptop at my home, XP SP2 with the windows firewall turned off completely. The IP setup on my laptop/home network is 192.168.0.1-255 Behind a linksys router. (ports 808/809 opened on the router already)
Problem Symptoms:
Connection works fine; SLL says it's negotiated correctly, and under the remote network, I can see all the computers on my work lan, but I am unable to ping any of them, or use any resources EXCEPT for the server where wingate VPN is installed (the one I connected to) For the wingate server, I can ping by IP, or I can resolve the name and ping that way, I can browse shared folders etc but only on the VPN server. All other machines are not accessable, though viewable.
My guess is that I have a routing problem. As far as I can tell, I have RIP2 turned on at the server level in the wingate app, and I have installed the RIP2 service on my laptop as well as verified that the service is currently running. Alas, this did nothing to improve the issue, I still have the same situation.
I can only guess that this is a routes issue, but I am at a complete loss for where to go next. It does not seem that I am able to add my own routes to even do testing. I'll list what shows up for routes below; line for line.
Home side:
Behind NAT/translated
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
192.168.0.103/255.255.255.255
Office side:
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
192.168.1.42/255.255.255.255
=========================
I am very fustrated and I hope you can provide a bit of direction.
I'll check often, and I can give any further info you need.
