How To Assign Private IP To VPN Client

Greetings,

I have an RRAS server that allows VPN client from anywhere on the Internet
to
connect. I want the RRAS server to assign a private IP address to the VPN
client and allow the client access to any network on the Internet.

The RRAS server can have one or two network cards, which ever makes it
easier to configure.

I tried a number of variations but the client cannot acces the Internet once
connected to the VPN.

Here is the setup:

NIC 1 IP: 199.1.1.10 GW: 199.1.1.1 Mask: 255.255.255.0
NIC 2 IP: 199.1.1.11 GW: 199.1.1.1 Mask: 255.255.255.0

Private IP address range 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0

My vague understanding is that I may have to setup a static route.
How would that be done if it is requried?


Thanks

Stan

Why are you running the RRAS server with two NICs in the same IP subnet?
This is a no-no with RRAS. You only need two NICs if the RRAS server is
acting as a router (and they then must be in different IP subnets).

Once you have configured the server's NICs to be on different subnets, you
can re-configure the server and the client to allow the VPN client to retain
Internet access when connected to the remote network. See:

My mistake. NIC 2 has IP: 192.168.0.1 GW: <blank> Mask: 255.255.0.0

My clients connect and get an IP for 192.168.x.x. But they cannot get out
onto the network. Do I need to setup a static route?


Thanks,

Stan
