RRAS Inbound VPNs, cannot ping remote networks "No Resources"
I have a standalone monitoring server running Windows 2008 (w/SP2). I only have RRAS enabled so far. A bunch of remote routers VPN in using PPTP. Behind these routers are one or more subnets. For example: Server Name = monitor Server IP = 55.66.77.88 VPN IP = 10.1.1.1 Router 1 WAN IP = 99.88.77.66 Router 1 LAN IP = 192.168.40.1/24 Router 1 VPN IP = 10.1.1.2 Router 1 VPN Username = monitor\router1 Router 2 WAN IP = 100.99.88.77 Router 2 LAN IP = 192.168.100.1/24, 192.168.15.1/24 Router 2 VPN IP = 10.1.1.3 Router 2 VPN Username = monitor\router2 If I simply configure a Dial-In User account on the server, then wait until a VPN connection is established and manually configure the routes, everything works fine. I can ping all the devices on the LAN sides of both routers (192.168.40.xxx, 192.168.100.xxx, 192.168.15.xxx). But this requires manually adding static routes each time the VPN connection is re-established, so I need to automate the addition of these routes. I opened the Computer Management MMC, went to System Tools / Local Users and Groups / Users, and opened the user account (eg. 'router1'). On the Dial-In tab, I enable 'Apply Static Routes' then define the remote networks in the Static Routes window. When the remote router reconnects, the routes are added to the routing table (route print), but if I try to ping them I get a "No Resources" error. Pathping and Tracert also return "No Resources". I can ping the VPN IP (eg. 10.1.1.2), but anything beyond that returns "No Resources". Any ideas? I'm starting to think it's a bug.

Use a router to router VPN link. You can then link the routes to the demand-dial interfaces. The routes are added to the routing table when the VPN connects and the dd interfaces become active. Bill

Hi DejjemTard, Thanks for posting here. You might need to add route entries on RRAS server for reaching other internet subnets . and on client site we should use RRAS’s internal interface address as default gateway in order to let RRAS guides VPN traffics to the correct next router. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772616(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_5 You may also try to customize VPN client side program by CMAK for updating the route entries : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc786752(WS.10).aspx Thanks.
