Guest Luke Davis Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I just setup RRAS to allow PPTP VPN connections and the clients connect fine and can ping and DNS resolve the RRAS server but no other server or resource in the network. Do I need to add a static route? All the clients are receiving a 169. IP address too. Thanks, Luke
Guest Johan Strange Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 RE: VPN Clients can't access other resources Hi, You need to assign a valid IP address to the VPN connection. Depending on the Domain Functioning level you can assign an IP address to a user account in ADUC or through RRAS. On the Latter I usually obtain a group of IP Addrseses that are not in the DHCP pool and then open RRAS - rigt click servername (local) / properties then click the IP tab. Select Static pool and add the addresses that I want to allocate to connections. This is another way I can control assignment and limit connections other than controlling PPTP or L2TP port quantities. You will also see a radio button giving DHCP controll of RRAS IP Assignment. Do you not have DHCP on your network ? it may explain why your clients are using APIPA i.e. 169.254.x.x I hope this helps you.

Guest Luke Davis Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 RE: VPN Clients can't access other resources No there is only 5 people on this network and I wanted to get everything setup before I moved to DHCP. I'll try the changes you suggested and see if that helps. Thanks "Johan Strange" wrote: > Hi, > > You need to assign a valid IP address to the VPN connection.

Guest Luke Davis Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 RE: VPN Clients can't access other resources Problem fixed, now on to bigger and better problems... I've been trying to fix this DNS resolution problem for an hour or so, I can ping IP's within the network from the PPTP client but I can't resolve their name through DNS.
