Im dialing into my office network from home. The dialin server (w2k) is running RRAS. Im able to login 100% and gain access to the server itself and to the machines on the network IF im pinging the RAS server from the machine I dialed from.

However if I want to ping my office network from any other workstation at home I get a timeout.

my home network run on subnet 192.168.0 and the office network on subnet 192.168.100.

How can I get my workstations at home to ping any computer on the network at the office ?

my q is the machine at home is configured to route trafic ? or did you internet share this connection ?
if you share the connection than you need to configure the other home p.c with default gateway

Hi,
Thanks for taking interest in the question.

I still havent got this working !! AARGH !!

The office at work have the subnet 192.168.100 running . My home network also have subnet 192.168.100 running. My mailserver at the office has ip address 192.168.100.5 (Linux Box) with a default route set to the isp's address"

The machine at the office that im using to dial to home has ip address 192.168.100.1 and when it connects with the home pc the PPP ip is 192.168.100.210 and 192.168.100.211.

I have no problem to ping the two machines making the connection at all. Pinging anything else on the home network from the office and vice versa isnt happening.

The dialin server at home has ip address 192.168.100.100 with the default route set to my mail server which has ip address 192.168.100.110 (default route dns for isp)

Im even willing to phone someone who can help me resolve this hehe

I know its must be someting small.

Thanks in advance

make your computer (the dialing computer) a router between your home network and the office network. any software will do.

your office network should be 192.168.100.x
and your home network 192.168.0.x, both with 255.255.255.0 netmasks.
Implement a route between 192.168.0.x and 192.168.100.x with winroute (software) and your dialing pc (hardware) and it's done.
DO NOTSET THE NETWORK AT HOME AS THE ONE THAT YOUR OFFICE HAVE BEACAUSE IT WILL NOT WORK!!!

oh, yeah .......
and set all the other computers at home to use as default gateway the dialing pc (let's say 192.168.0.1)

hi again !
you need to understend that if you want other mashins at home to reach your office network the dail out machin has to route trafic to there.
if you had a server at home with ras installed than it would route trafic .or the other option will be to share the connection :at the properties of the dailup connection go to sharing
tab and share it.than you will have to assign the dailout station the 192.168.0.1 address and the other stations with the default gateway of 192.168.0.1 .
afterwards check if it is working .
tracert is a great tool to check were the problem is
