Problem accessing PCs when connected using VPN

We currently have two servers, each running Windows 2003 Small Business
Server. Both servers are for different domains at the moment as we
eventually want to move everything to the second server.

The setup is as follows:

SERVER01 - domain1.local
SERVER02 - domain2.local

All client computers are running Windows XP Pro and are on the SERVER01
domain. The SERVER02 machine is sitting doing nothing at present, it simply
has a shared folder on it which is accessable from the XP client machines.

All this works fine and th shared folder on SERVER02 does what it's intended
which is simple file sharing.

The problem arises when a workstation connected to SERVER01 via a VPN
connection tries to access the shared folder on SERVER02. The error is
simply that SERVER02 cannot be found. Yet when the same client connects
using the LAN directly, it can access the same shard folder on SERVER02
perfectly well.

Also, the client connected via VPN can communicate with all the Win XP
client PCs on the LAN. Yet it sees SERVER02 as non existant! SERVER02's IP
address can be pinged ok from the client connected using VPN.

Has anyone got any ideas of how to solve this problem?

Any help would be eternally appreciated!

Thanks,

Richard.

we need more information to help. did you create trusts between these two domain? assuming the VPN client can ping the server2 by ip? can it ping the name? if all are yes, it could be the credentials issue.

Hi Robert,

The original domain (domain1.local) has been setup and used for quite a while. The new doman (domain2.local) was setup by me. I haven't created any trusts between the two domains as I didn't know I had to (or how to!). I'll be able to test the ping question tomorrow when I can get into work as at the moment the works broadband seems to be disconnected.

I presume for the SERVER01 to allow its VPN client access to the shared folder on SERVER02 I need to create the trust between these two domains? If that's the casem how do I configure this?

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated.

Richard.

Can you open the server whilst connected using the VPN by using the IP
Address rather than the name?

Are the 2 domain's in different Subnets?

Are you using WINS?

The situation now is that I can access the shared folders on the VPN server
and I can ping the VPN server's IP and hostname.

I can't however access or ping any other computer on the LAN other than the
server. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rich.

Are you using RRAS? Have you enabled routing between the 2 subnets? or
do you have another device routing between the subnets?

Can you ping server02 from server01? Is server01 your RRAS Server?

Have you setup any routes to go between these subnets?

Yes I'm using RRAS. I haven't enabled routing between the two subnets (I
assume we re talking about the VPN subnet and the LAN subnet?)

Server02 can be ping's from Server01, yes. Server01 is the RRAS server.

I don't know how to seyup routes between the subnets. Very new to all this!
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich.

What device is in the "VPN Subnet"?, Is one of your server's multihomed?

Whatever device is in the VPN Subnet answering VPN Calls needs to have
an ip route to the Lan Subnet in order for traffic to flow.

Hi Ian,

Bear with me on this one, I'm not familiar with the terms used.

The LAN is using IP address range 192.168.0.x on subnet 255.255.255.0

Server01 is 192.168.0.2 (only one network card present)
Server02 is 192.168.0.3
LAN clients are 192.168.0.5x
The ADSL router is 192.168.0.254 (also the DHCP server)

The VPN connection is to the Server01 and the DLink ADSL Modem/router has
the IP routing set up to forward incoming VPN connections to Server01.

The VPN subnet appears to be 255.255.255.255.

Does this help at all? How do I provide VPN calls a route to te LAN subnet?

Sorry to be a pain on this one, it's all totally new to me

Cheers,

Rich.

Hi Rich,

Just read this post from the beginning again as i think we have missed a
few steps.

When connected using the VPN Connection - can you contact the other XP
desktops by using IP address other than the computer name?

If so - there is a setting in Routing and Remote Access to enable
Broadcast Name Resolution (Right Click the server object, goto
properties, select IP, Broadcast name resolution box is at the bottom of
the screen). - Only do this if you can ping the IP addresses of the xp
desktops from the VPN Client.

Ian
