Subj says it's all. I`m trying to Connect to computers behind NAT, and so far, VPN seems the only solution (i'm aware about).
Fist i've tried to Setup Microsoft VPN, and was constantly getting error 721 on VPN clients while trying to establish VPN connection. Alot of people told me, that it`s coused by inproperly configured NAT server, uncapable to translate GRE packets. Well, bad router might be a good reason not to establish VPN connection for Microsoft but it`s not good enought for me, so i started looking for other VPN solutions. So far the only "working" solution i'm aware is WinGate VPN.
I`ve installed server on pc with real ip and client on pc using NAT. Unlike Microsoft, WinGate Client have immideatly established VPN connection, but unfortunatly that didn`t bring expected effect.
1. When establishing tunnel beetween two computers with real ip - everything works fine.
2. When establishing tunnel from pc behind NAT to pc with real ip - i can sometimes ping private interfaces of public machine, but never can ping interfaces of NAT machine.
3. When establishing tunnel from pc behind NAT to pc with private ip (i.e. from 192.168.230.130 to 192.168.0.1) nothing is pingable AT ALL.
4. Getting up dialup internet connection on 192.168.0.1 machine. When establishing tunnel from pc behind NAT to pc with private ip (i.e. from 192.168.230.130 to 192.168.0.1) - everything works fine.
5. Getting up dialup internet connection on 192.168.0.1 machine. When establishing same tunnel as case 4 (from pc behind NAT to pc with private ip) but instead of 192.168.0.1 specify it`s public ip (213.130.7.6) - nothing is pingable AT ALL.
Real mess isn`t it ? Looks to me like it's a routing issue. I've tried to play with route delete/add/change, but it didn`t get any positive effect.
Basicly i only need to get configuration 2 working - others were tested just for debugging issues.
I've read few posts on this forum and have noticed that some people are having similiar issues. Unfortunatly even on forum i wasn't able to find any solution, so i was wonering if i should wait for stable release of wingate VPN or maybe someone here have new version of hands.sys for me ?
