If I configure a VPN connection on a Win2000 server, will it route the connection to its LAN? (I assume I’ll have to turn on the Routing service.) In other words, will workstations on the same segment as the server be able to see the other side of the VPN connection?
Or will I lose the LAN through which VPN is running and have to configure a second interface or network? (e.g. add a NIC, make it 192.168.2.1, hang the workstations off it)
I think I’m just getting tripped up on configuring theroutes, but I’d like to know I’m not attempting the impossible.
Network:
192.168.1.3 – Win2000 client, GW=192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 – Win2000 server, default route=192.168.1.1
add VPN to x.x.x.x
192.168.1.1 – Linksys DSL router
x.x.x.x – VPNserver
10.y.y.y – HQ’s internal network
When I add the VPN I get a new default route through the VPN, but my workstation gets nowhere. If I turn on the server’s Routing service, the VPN times out and neither workstation nor server get anywhere.
