Topic: VPN Tool

[steve1084]

I have found that a great VPN tool is the Draytek Smart VPN Client for overcomming issues related to ip address alocation. 

I get all of my clients to use this tool and it works a treat and means there are no more issues like same ip wont connect etc.

Different versions are available for various Operating systems http://draytek.com.au/downloads.php

A simple and very affective tool

I assume that this just works with Draytek routers?

No Not at all

This tool is totaly independant of the Draytek router.  IE it works on any system and has nothing to do with routers of any type.

It is what it is.  A tool for connecting your computer to a VPN connection be it a SME server VPN or a Draytek Router VPN if matters NOT.

Smart VPN Tool.

Install on your PC and use it to connect to any VPN connection.  Can be used to connect to many different types of VPN connections.  Very handy and works fantastic.

Please try and see for yourself

Did you try it?
You should!

Will this resolve the problem that occurs when my current address e.g. 192.168.1.*** and the network I want to connect to has the same range?

Sorry my post shouldn't be rude. No i didn't try it as I don't use Vista.
But if you tried it and had a problem with it maybe you could explain your problem and do not just post a question which obtrudes the thought that you need some help.

No, that is a conflicting problem.

No, no VPN technology will solve that problem. Some very fancy NAT might be able to. But by far the best would be for you to renumber one of the networks.

Yes, that is what I have always done, I was just trying to get a clearer idea of what this tool did. I was working from the comment;

for overcomming issues related to ip address alocation.

I looked at the website and I could not understand it so thought I'd ask. Didn't want to get into the middle of the other behaviour.

Yes It does Overcome this issue.  It is a SMART VPN TOOL that does infact have very fancy Nat abilities to overcome these issues.  If your IP and the Server IP address range are the same then this tool will Fix this issue.

It installes its own virtual Lan connector and uses this to identify and modify IP address range to fix this issue.

Interesting.
