Internet connection through a VPN connection

Internet connection through a VPN connection

Post by Steve » Wed, 13 Nov 2002 03:54:13



Hi All!

On my network I have a (Windows 2000 Advanced) server (192.168.1.1)
which is a Domaincontroller, DHCP, RAS server. The server has 2 NIC's,
1 local and 1 internet NIC

RAS is setup so that the clients can get to the internet.

I have 1 Wireless Access Point, and want the wireless users to
use VPN for there connection. The VPN connection is made correctly
they can ping the other local workstations (ip range 192.168.1.*)
But they can't get onto the internet through the VPN connection.

On the workstations that use VPN there is an option in the TCP/IP
properties 'Use default gateway on remote network' Using this doesn't
help. When on, the default gateway is the same as the IP address of
the VPN connection, when of, there is no gateway. I could set the
gateway to 192.168.1.1 but then the internetconnection wouldn't go
over the VPN connection.

So in short, I can't get to the internet via my VPN connection.

Any idea's what could be wrong and maybe idea's what I coudl check?

O yea, in Win2000 RAS Admin, at the server Properties -> IP tab I
have the option 'Enable IP routing' selected.

 
 
 

1. Internet Connections thru VPN ?

Problem:  Users cannot get access to the internet, when connected thru VPN.

Hello, our users can connect remotely onto our corporate lan thru a VPN
connection and can get access to resources in the Local Corporate LAN.  We
are running a Win2K environment and our RAS is running VPN.  And a valid IP
Pool is provided and the correct  gateway is configured on the RAS Server.

Question 1 : Can RAS VPN be configured to allow internet access thru the vpn
connection?
Question 2 : How do I configure RAS VPN to provide Internet Access thru the
VPN connection?

Here is a copy of  IPConfig from a RAS VPN Connected Client

PPP adapter CorpVPN:
