Dear all,

My aim is
( VPN client) ----->>{{( Router with Port forward to Server1) --->Server1(Win)---->Server2(Lin) }}

Router has a public IP. Server1 has two NIC.
Server 1 and Server 2 are directly connect with cable.

Already have done most of the steps.
VPN Server part:
Install the Role “Network Policy and Access Services." in Win

IP Assigning part.
My router is configured to assign static ip to Serve1 and Server2 using mac addresses. DHCP is enabled in router.I enabled IP forwarding in Win server from registry. So I assume Server 2 will get a correct ip address.

Problem
My clients are able to connect to VPN -> and ping Server 1. But they are unable to ping Server 2 through VPN.
But I am able to ping Server 2 directly from Server 1. Are Server 1 and Server 2 not in same LAN ? Should not outside users be able to ping Server 2 also ?

My aim is that remote clients connect to VPN Server ( Win ) and then can use both Windows and Linux.
Please help with conceptual errors.
Will be grateful !
Thanks.

Thank you steve,
Let's say I wish to stay with this hardware.
What could be a possible work around,

And, In your solution - Where will I plug in the cable of my ISP ? To the switch ?
Or are you suggesting

ISPcable -> Router --> Switch --a) Server1, b)Server2

But I believe in not buying a switch as I have only 2 servers.
Would be great to get a reply,
Thanks, I am trying few things would let know if it works.

It is likely a issue with vpn software configuration. These things tend to be very non standard do you would need someone that has used whatever particular software you are using. You most time must configure them to allow access to another machine. The main problem tends to be the client machine must appear to be coming from a IP address that your "server2" know to send back to server1.

The way it sounds like you have it cabled is you have server2 on the same subnet and are only using your server 1 as a switch. There really is no difference in functionality if you were to plug both servers into the router or you plug server 2 into server 1.

Many times when you cable it the way you have you use a different subnet for the connection between server 1 and server 2.

Hard to say you can make it work either way it just depends how you want to configure the VPN. Someone should have a example for your software that shows how to so what you want since it is a fairly common install.
