I set up the SBS 2003 VPN using the wizard. I used our public IP since our domain name does not resolve to our server.
I forwarded the ports required on our router.
On my laptop, I setup the connection and ran it. It connects when I supply my domain credentials.
If I do an ipconfig both my wireless and VPN(PPP) connections show as connected. I have both a local network IP (on the wireless) and an IP supplied by our server (for the PPP connection). They are different subnets (x.x.0.x and x.x.1.x)
If I ping our server’s internal IP I get responses back.
However, I cannot see the server or any shared directories, I can’t add my computer to the domain and I cannot set up my Exchange email.
I’m not sure what I’m missing. I’ve heard that when the VPN is working correctly that you shouldn’t be able to use the internet, but I am. I currently are ‘connected’ on my VPN connection at the same time I’m browsing the internet and asking this question.
This is giving me no end of frustration that I’m probably missing something simple.
If anyone can shed any further light on this situation I would be very grateful. I can provide further information if needed.
