Using VPN - Accessing servers on different subnet

Hi Everyone

I have just set up a PPTP VPN server using my Draytek Vigor 2800 router. The router is set up to hand out ip addresses (dhcp) locally from 192.168.1.20 with a pool of 50.

The VPN server of the router gives out IP addresses from 192.168.2.201, (the first IP will be 192.168.2.201).

The question is, when i am out and about, connected to the VPN with an IP of 192.168.1.201, will i be able to access my fileservers, etc in the 192.168.1.1 subnet. E.G. When using VPN with a address of 192.168.2.201 will i be able to access my openfiler server at 192.168.1.19?

I've got a feeling that my question is slightly incomprehensible, but im hoping i can get a few answers.

Thanks,
Spencer

Brilliant. Thats all i needed to know. Very pleased with that.

Thanks very much.

It doesn't if all systems are connected to the Draytek Vigor 2800 router. What network mask will you be using? 24 bit?

This is getting confusing as, assuming a 16 or more bit mask, you are referring to 2 totally different networks (192.168 and 192.169). Where is each network and why won't it work, even through the Internet (where each location obviously has a valid Internet IP address)?

If you are talking about multiple sites, each site has to have a unique IP address range, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, etc. Otherwise it becomes impossible to route between locations. Why are you using 192.168.1.x instead of 10.x.x.x?

That's easy as long as you make sure that the same local IP addresses are not used at the local and remote site. It's no different if you use a server or not.
