RE: Configuring VPN access

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

It's been a while, but....

Without a  WINS Server on the wire, you can't browse over an
MS VPN connection like that.

If you cannot ping, I suspect the route has not been made.

you need to add an IP route, so you say
ROUTE ADD (yourip) MASK 255.255.255.255 (vpntunnelip)

do an ipconfig /all once the connection is up, and post the result.

Subject: [ukha_d] Configuring VPN access


Morning all,

I spent some of my time yesterday looking at Microsoft VPN's

My Father-in-law is an IT nightmare, so I end up supporting his Business
PC..

When the ADSL price rises come down in April, I'll move him over to ADSL,
but in the mean time he has a Dial Up connection with Static IP.

I thought for backup purposes, as well as support it would be useful to
create a VPN between his network and mine, so I configured Microsoft's VPN
software on my WIn2K workstation and a VPN host on his PC. (and a user
account on my PC with access rights to a single share).

Now I can connect across the internet to my home PC, the connection
authenticates and is live, but I cannot see my PC from his....

I have looked in network neighbourhood, I tried pinging my IP address, and
machine name, nothing......... anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Daniel
