VPN server with 2 nic

by eminent87 . Updated 21 years, 11 months ago

Hi,

I’m trying to setup a VPN server with Windows 2003 server. I followed the how to setup a vpn server from Microsoft but for some reason it’s not working. I have 2 nic called internal and external. The internal has a private IP of 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0 for subnet and blank for gateway. The external has a public IP of 67.116.25.50, 255.255.255.248 for subnet, 67.116.25.49 for gateway (all info are provided by my isp). For some reason I can’t browse the web with this server with this configuration. I can ping out and get reply from yahoo and everyone else but web pages just won’t load. Also, I can’t ping my VPN server from the outside, it just get timed out. Since I can’t ping it, I cannot connect with VPN client either. What am I doing wrong or what am I missing?

I’ve configured the same public IP on a laptop and it worked fine. I was able to ping it so I know the IP are correct. I can browse fine if I disable one network card but if I have both of them then I can’t browse or ping it from outside the network.

A little about my network. I have a dsl connection going to a switch (switch1) and then from the switch it goes to my sonicwall. The sonicwall then goes to another switch(switch2), which is where my private network sits on. My VPN server external nic is on switch1 and interal nic is on switch2.
