My company does building automation, and we are frequently required to TCP/IP connect to remote buildings to tune the HVAC controls. In many cases, these buildings have secured networks which block all outside access except specially granted. Our office’s Internet IP Address is in those allow lists.
When I connect VPN, I get my local IP address from the office gateway, and from my local router. thats all good. When I navigate to whatismyip.com, it shows the same public ip address my router is holding from my cable ISP.
When I attempt to connect to a remote site, same problem, where it only knows my home connection’s ip adress.
Is there something I can do on win xp pro laptop? or can the VPN be configured differently? I’m not sure if this can be fixed. I’d like to make it so it was truely as if I was sitting at my desk.
