VPN Routing

If you have 2 vpn routers with 3 connections each (fibre, t1, dsl) and define a vpn connection between them using the fibre connection will any of the vpn packets be transmitted over the t1 or dsl lines? Doesn’t make any sense that they would but have network engineer insisting that would be the case.

Hi All,

I have started pulling my hair out over the last few nights and now have a bald patch on one side of my head…..
Ok not really but I feel like pulling my hair out, I have this problem you see, it is something I have been working on for a while just for fun.

I have a Windows Home Server in the spare room at home and it has all my user shares on it which works fine and I can RDP to and also use the web interface (no issues with the home server)

I also have a Windows Server 2003 std edition server which is a DC for my Domain (this is in the same room) now the DC also hosts two virtual machines. machine 1 is XP Pro and machine 2 is server 2003 with exchange installed. I can ping and RDP to any of these machines while i am on the LAN

All Computers above have static IP addresses inside the LAN but have 1 Dynamic public IP which is mapped using DYNDNS

This is where the issue is

I cannot for the life of me get PPTP working
I set up PPTP from my work to my home using these settings
(not real details but close)

On my router I opened ports
1723 to 192.168.1.50——server-2003-DC
41 to 192.168.1.50——server-2003-DC
On the DC I switched the firewall off and there is no AV

from work

connect to hostname or IP address

compufixdublin.webhop.net (translates to my public Dynamic IP)

Type of Connection
PPTP VPN

Do not use default gateway on remote network
Use Default Gateway on Remot Network
(I selected both of these but none work)

Please help as I really need a good nights sleep at this stage!!!

How to connect a server using DSL routers

Sufisnetwork — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 17:09:45 +0000

My company is having 30 users at different different location all of them is having separete DSL routers with a VPN tunnel … And i wanted to connect them to the main server and create a active directory to deny using the cdrom,startmenu, flash drive, games and etc they should only use the company program which is in Microsoft Access file format . So how can i create a active directory and a VPN so that the computers should login locally and note the users do login now to the server with the help of VPN tunnel and the users are having different different public ips
