I am setting up Wingate VPN for a company to allow remote access for one mobile user. Before installing the Wingate VPN software I tested it at my office to allow me to connect from home. I used the directions supplied in the "Setting up a VPN: A step-by-step guide" and I was able to connect and access a network share on that computer. In this case both computers use Windows XP Pro. Now using the same steps I setup the Wingate VPN software on the company server but once I connect I cannot ping the host. Here is a brief summary of the server and client. The client is the same workstation I used to connect to the VPN at my office. This server has 2 nics which are on the same subnet. I'm not sure if that can cause an issue. I checked the log on the Wingate VPN server and I do not see any errors. The authentication works fine. I have port fowarding setup for both UDP and TCP of port 809 and have verified it is open. I can ping the public ip of this server fine.
Wingate VPN server:
Windows 2003 server SP2 (Windows firewall is off)
Network: 192.168.0.*
Wingate VPN client:
Windows XP Pro (Windows firewall is off)
Network: 192.168.1.*
