Hi, I am trying to setup a secure vpn tunnel to secure a point to point
wireless network.

I am using 2 Smoothwall 2.0 boxes which has FreeS/WAN built in and I am
trying to figure out to make everything work.

You can read my current thread at
http://community.smoothwall.org/foru...ostdays=0&post
order=asc&start=0

I haven't found any answer in this forum yet

you really need to read the whole thread to understand what steps I have
already done, I would really appreciate any guidence in this matter, I
could be going the wrong direction with it.

Here is my last post at the smoothwall forum
__________________________________________________

It looks like I might be getting closer, I am able to communicate from one
end of the link to the other, but I am not able to access the internet
though,

here is the network again

Cable Modem

Main Smoothwall (green 192.168.0.1)
|
|
Hub (local network A)
|
|
|
Smoothwall A Green interface (ip of 192.168.0.22)
|
Red Interface (44.44.44.1)
|
|VPN Tunnel (Left)
Linksys WET11 Ethernet Bridge #1

Linksys WET11 ethernet bridge #2

| VPN Tunnel (Right)
Smoothwall B Red Interface (44.44.44.2)
|
Smootwall B Green Interface (Not sure what ip needs to be, but would like
it to be 192.168.0.23, but I don't know if it can be on the same subnet.
|
| Local Network B
|
Windows XP machine with ethernet card, plugged into Green inteface
(192.168.2.39)


_____________
What I have done is typed in the following command on the MAIN smoothwall
route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 gw 192.168.0.22

and I typed the following command on my Windows XP machine on the final
right side of the VPN tunel
ROUTE ADD 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.21

OK, now I am able to ping my main smoothwall (192.168.0.1) from my Windows
XP box on the right side of the VPN with an IP of (192.168.2.39) I am able
to ping the windows xp box from the smoothwall also.

Now my question is how do I use the main smoothwall (192.168.0.1) as my
gateway to the internet on the windows xp machine that is on the
192.168.2.0/24 subnet.

I have my windows tcpip settings set to
IP address: 192.168.2.39
Gateway 192.168.0.1
DNS 192.168.0.1

This does not work though, I am able to ping 192.168.0.1, but I can't use
it as my gateway to the internet.
Is the main smoothwall not letting the traffic through to the internet
because its green interface is on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet??

Is there anything I can do to make this work

I would appreicate your help, I think I am almost there hopefully
