Topic: VPN client - getting specific IP adress

[Jérome]

Hello,

I use e-smith from years now, and I often use PPTP VPN connections.

I'm trying to set up a WinXP Pro client to get always the same IP address when connection throught VPN connection ( ie not dhcp, but a specific address).

My SME Server is 5.6 with ServiceLink enable. My client is WinXP Pro.
I try to specify a specific (and valid dhcp address) ip adress in the client VPN. But when connecting Windows tells me that server can't give me this adress because it isn't configure to do so. I get this error while 'registering computer on network'  AFTER authentication.

How can I make it work the way I want ?

Please help.

Sorry for my poor English.

Best regards.

Jérome

Hi Jerome,

Sorry, I'm not actually answering the question but am confused about something.

If your SME has servicelink, doesn't this mean you are paying to be supported by Mitel ? If so, they should have an answer for you, don't they ? Or have I misunderstood what servicelink is ?

Hi Jérome,

Did you ever get an answer to this issue? I have the same configuration and experience the same problem.

Also, when using DHCP to allocate the IP address, the subnet is 255.255.255.255. Is this correct?

Cheers,

Gary
