Can i change the subnet on the vpn side of a server without having to change its whole lan (to avoid collission)
- by Gusty
Ohai,
ive got a xp server with a client connecting via VPN. Problem (as we all know) is that sometimes the subnets clash.
Instead of changing the whole server network every time this happens, cant i just have the server appear to have a different subnet to vpn clients? I have no interest in accessing other computers than the server on its LAN.
I tried just turning off automatic dhcp in the servers vpn settings and changed it to 172.31.255.x. The client gets the address assigned alright and it can ping 172.31.255.1 but i cannot ping the server name (because the dns on the clients vpn connection points at 192.168.0.1?)
wisdom?
PS everything worked until the client hit a network with the same subnet as the server lan.
thanks
