Hi,

I have a simple network with Windows 2000 server and I'm trying to setup VPN, all clients can connect with proper IP address assigned but then the subnet is wrong. I'm using the private IP 192.168.0.xx with a 255.255.255.0 subnet. Instead, I get the subnet of 255.255.255.255. I also tried configured DHCP relay agent too but that didn't help much. I read somewhere that this type of configuration cannot be done, is this true? If not, can anybody shed some light as to fixing the problem? Thanks!

BTW, I don't have a router on my network, just Windows 2000 server and a DSL connection.

A subnet of 255.255.255.255 means that IP is attached to a host address (i.e. a subnet range of exactly one address).

This may not be abnormal - are the clients having connection problems? If so, if you can describe the problems they are having,I might be able to offer a better answer.

regards!

The clients can connect and everything but they cannot access network resources other than the vpn server. But when I VPN in from home I can get to our sonicwall web interface. Other than that it can't see anything else on the network.

for some reason i can't browse the network and i can only access certain host with public ip that's host mapped to them. all other computers and cannot access it. is there a way around this?
