A PIX to Router VPN routing problem?

[bubarooni]

I have a site-to-site vpn. Site1, 192.168.1.x, has a PIX 506 at it's end of the vpn and Site2, 192.168.4.x, has a 1750 router.

At Site2 there are a couple of third party vendor machines, one is a win2k pro machine, 192.168.4.11, running sales/POS software and the other is a DOS based machine called an IVR (Integrated Voice Response), 192.168.4.12, that integrates with the win2k machine machine and allows it to take customer orders over the telephone.

If I can access this IVR machine from Site1 then I will also be able to take internet orders for the store at Site2.

The IVR machine's IP shows up in the router's arp list but I cannot ping it for anything from Site1. The vendor says the DOS interface has no provision for joining a domain, default gateway or anything else other than it's ip address.

I need some kind of routing command that will allow me to access this IVR machine at Site2 from Site1.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Well if you are not able to configure a default gateway then there´s nothing we can do unless you can confiugre a static route on the IVR. The packets are reaching the IVR but it just does not know where to reply since it does not have a default gateway configured. I am afraid you will have to talk to the vendor and request support for a default gateway or static route configuration on the DOS interface.

Dos can and will work on a TCP/IP network. You will have to load the necessary drivers before anything else as long as memory permits. You can refer to this site on how to create it. I used to make dumb terminals w/ old PC's to connect to Citrix over the Internet thru a VPN so I know it it works.

Hope that helps in the creation of what you need.

I haven't been able to contact the vendor yet but, was wondering in the meantime if a dos 'route add' command might do the trick

route add 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1 1

Is this what you mean, Themut?

Yeap! If you can add a static route on the IVR then it should be accessible from site 1.

If my memory serves me correctly you need to look for a net.cfg file on the DOS machine, and add a statement for the default gateway

This was from a netware workstation running the netware TCPIP stack. It was before we had internet access in each office so we didn't have a DNS server. I Don't remember how to enable DNS, but it seems to me the TCP_CFG directory had a hosts file in it.

# c:\nwclient\net.cfg
