Topic: vpn error

[steve288]

Im trying to connect through an sme 6 server to a sme 7.3 server via windows vpn and then be able to either use putty or even a vcn connection to local computers and windows server.

The computers on the system that Im loging into have static IP addresses 192.168. range. and the computer I'm dialing in from has a 10.1.0 range.

Since the system Im loging into has static ip's i have set my vpn to give me a static ip 192.168.1.245.

When I log in however it seems to connect, accept password and try to register the vpn connection but then gives me an error of 
"735
Your connection is configured to request a specific IP address. Either you server is not configured to permit clients that request specific IP addresses, or the specific IP address may already be in use by another client. If possible use DHCP to avoid addressing conflicts.”
This is a free available IP address.

When I look at the messages log I have the following error.

Can anyone provide me with any help on this.

I can use a windows gateway instead of a linux gateway to dial out but then I get the windows 800 error and the messages log seems to show nothing. Like its not even connecting?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Yes, I think that you should pay attention to the message your VPN client is telling you, and stop trying to request a specific IP address.

Success !!

CharlieBrady, Thanks Perhaps I was over thinking it.

I removed the Ip address from the vpn login dialup on windows and it worked, that is I connected to the SME Server and was able to use VCN.
 
However, I'm confused, where did it get an IP since it is not set up with dhcp? I added it in the first place because I figured it needed one. Now its found one despite the fact that it is turned off?

Any thoughts ?

Thank you again.
