I am running a Windows 2003 server with 2 NICS in my office. The internal LAN in the office is on 192.168.1.xxx, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The Second NIC installed for VPN has IP address: 192.168.1.95. I have configure RAS to work on the Second NIC. It uses DHCP to give out IP addresses to VPN clients in the 192.168.0.xxx range.My home network and Vista client machine are on 192.168.15.xxx.I can connect and register my Vista client machine on the network, but I cannot ping any of the computers, including the server, in the office network. I believe I have to set up some sort of a static route or a classless route, or something like that, so that the VPN client machine (192.168.0.xxx) can hop over to the office network (192.168.1.xxx). Can anyone help? By the way, I know that the router is passing the traffic correctly because if I set up RAS to distribute an address to the VPN client in the 192.168.1.xxx range using the existing NIC (not the second NIC in the server), everything works fine.

Hi, This is because the machines in the network 192.168.1.xxx does not know where to send the packets destined to 192.168.0.xxx. You need to add a static route on the office machines such that to reach 192.168.0.xxx the gateway is your VPN server (192.168.1.95). This should solve the problem. Let me know if your issue still not resolved after the above configuration.

The VPN clients are 192.168.0.xxx. Therefore, don't I need a static route that specifies that the packets FROM 192.168.0.xxx should be sent to 192.168.1.xxx? If so, how do I do this? Also, assuming the way you wrote it is correct, how do I do that?
