Title: PPTP questions
Post by: achandra on December 16, 2006, 11:11:58 AM

When I VPN into my network through SME via pptp, from a network say...134.71.whatever.whatever. into a a 192.168.0.X network which behind the SME now problems..

BUT...

lets say I am behind a natted space with 192.168.0.X which is at home, and VPN into the public ip of the SME server, which then connects me to its natted space which is ALSO 192.168.0.X...I cant reach resources whether it be by IP or  hostname...I see the confusion but dont know how to resolve the issue...Any ideas??

You need to change one set of addresses.

I didnt want to accept it...but..it is certainly what has to be done...unless I use something like the swerts-knudsen open-vpn or something I guess.

Cool.

It doesn't matter what VPN technology you use, you can't have the same network addresses at both ends and expect to be able to reach both.

I agree with the network segments...however, the swerts implementation allows for a "bridged" network setup whereby messing with the core network subnets.
