I have a Windows 2003 server (SP2) that I'm trying to set up route traffic from my local network using a VPN
My local network has the following components:
- Broadband router (192.168.0.1)
- Windows Server with a single NIC running RRAS (192.168.0.2 def. gateway = 192.168.0.1)
- Client Machine (192.168.0.3 def. gateway = 192.168.0.1)
Using a VPN connection, I am trying to access a remote machine (10.0.0.1 for example)
I configured RRAS with a demand-dial interface for the VPN and set it to be a persistent connection. As part of that setup, a static route to 10.0.0.0 (255.255.0.0) was created.
When at the console of the server, I can ping 10.0.0.1 with no problems
I added a route on the client machine using the following command:
ROUTE ADD 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.2
If I run tracert 10.0.0.1 from the client, the first hop is to 192.168.0.2 which tells me that route is working.
However, I cannot ping 10.0.0.1 from the client machine.
What am I missing? Hopefully something simple.
