Topic: VPN / DNS Problems

[joeblack1]

SME7 VPN server With 2 netcards setup as PPTP-VPN / Servergateway.
DHCP server disabled

(WAN->SME7.0->LAN)

If I logon via the consol I am able to ping everything on LAN & WAN side.

When I connect via VPN-PPTP everything connect fine and I am able to ping servers on the WAN side I.E. google.com BUT when I try to ping some of the PC in my lan I get ‘Request timed out’
(I am able to ping my SME server on both netcards).

Do my SME server have a DNS/route problem ? javascript:emoticon(':-?')

I ran into this problem with a windows server I had on a static IP.  When I connected VPN, the only computers I could ping using the FQDN were the ones using DHCP.  The static machines timed out.

What you need to do is go into the Server Manager>Hostnames and Addresses tab.  There you need to setup your computer hostnames with the local IPs.  If you were using the DHCP server, these entries would be automatically added to the DNS server.  Since you're using static IPs, you'll need to add them manually.

This must be a bug in v7.0 - as this worsk in v6.0.
