I have a Windows 2003 SBS box. It has 2 physical NIC's: WAN and LAN. The WAN is a public IP. The LAN is a simple 192.168.2.x subnet with Microsoft DHCP Server. Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service is used to provide NAT to LAN. The box also runs VMware Server with a virtual machine running Windows XP. I want people to be able to VPN into the box, and connect to these virtual machines on the MSRDP port. I can VPN (PPTP) into the 2003 SBS box fine, as well as ping other machines on the LAN.
- I can ping the VM from a physical workstation on the LAN and vice-versa.
- I can ping the VPN client from the a physical workstation on the LAN and vice-versa.
- I can ping the VPN client from the Server console and vice-versa.
- I can ping the VM client from the Server console and vice-versa.
- But I cannot ping the VPN client from the VM and vice-versa.
I was hoping to set up 2 or 3 Windows XP virtual machines on our only server, so that a couple of people can remote in to work without having to leave a physical machine on in the office. You could this attempted set up a "poor mans terminal server".
On the 2003 SBS Server:-
