Topic: vpn PPTP subnet 255.255.255.255

[Mork]

The assigned address is ok on a PPTP connection but the subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 instead of 255.255.255.0. I need X.X.X.0 to browse the internal network.

I think that I need to edit a template, but I don't know as is.

Thanks

PPTP is a point-to-point networking protocol. There is no concept of a netmask on a point-to-point network link.

You probably want a network route set up on your client, but that is outside the scope of PPTP and SME server.

Why on a PPTP connection "\\hostname" don't work and "\\IP_address" work?

Because you haven't configured a WINS server in your client, and because broadcast traffic is not propagated over a PPTP link.

Many thanks!!!
