Please log in for more thread options software to connect to my office. I would like to access the office network from another pc over wireless to the the first pc. Is this possible? We PC1 connects to my office, it of course, gets an ip address of the office network. The wireless card gets an ip address from my wireless dhcp server. I would think that since the wireless card is in 192.168.1 network and my office is in a differnet network, PC1 should act as a router. Any suggestions? | ||||||||||||||||

The office pc wireless card is 192.168.1.8 The office pc ethernet card is 192.168.1.7 When i connect vpn, i get 172.29.1.10 my wireless laptop gets 192.168.1.5 so, what your saying is that if i wanted to access the same vpn i would need to run a vpn client on the laptop. could i not configure the office pc to act as a router between the 192 network and the 172 network and access the 172 network from my wireless laptop? | ||||||||||||||||

In order to access your PC your laptop has to be a member of 192.168... but to access the VPN you have to be amember of 172.29... --- The VPN client gives you a "virtual adapter" to allow your computer to be a member of BOTH IP sets. | ||||||||||||||||
