Hi everyone,
I have created a PPTP VPN connection successfully from my satellite branch to my main office, however, even though I am able to specify the IP address of the VPN connection, I can't set the subnet mask, and when I connect, I get assigned a mask of 255.255.255.255. This means I can't access any resources on the remote network, which defeats the object of the VPN.
Is this normal? Is there a way I can specify my subnet before I connect? I noticed in the TCP/IP properties of the VPN connection that I can specify my own IP (which I have done) however there is no dialogue box for the subnet. The box I remote in to is not a DHCP server, so I can't specify to be assigned an IP address. Is this the main problem?
If I turn the box I am remoting in to into a DHCP server, will that mean the incoming VPN connection will be assigned the correct subnet?
Thanks in advance, I didn't know where else to post this...
Cheers
