hi!
I have an interesting problem.
I have setup vpn connection at work using the linksys router (usual
802.11b)and everything seems to work fine. The vpn server is a windows
2003 server using the static ip address 192.168.1.*. The server
computer is in a domain "domain1"
At home I have a network having static ip (same subnet as
192.168.1.*), the client laptop has the static ip of 192.168.1.5 and
it is also connected to the linksys router (wireless network). The
client computer is a member of a workgroup called "workgroup"
Because of the static ip address, the client laptop works both at
office and home.
When I initiate the vpn connection from the client at home, it
authenticates everything fine, but then it does not allow browsing the
directory on the server. However, if I disable the wireless network at
home and connect to internet using a dialup connection (not a static
ip anymore), I am easily able to browse directory on the server (using
vpn).
Is having the same subnet (192.168.1.*) both a home and work is
causing the problem? i looked at many similar postings on the net but
of no avail.
