I have the following setup:

Several local Windows PCs with IP addresses in range 192.0.0.XXX.

Several remote Windows PCs with IP addresses in range 192.168.1.XXX.

These sets of PCs use a common intranet site connecting together using a VPN connection.

We also have a SCO UNIX computer running a Parts system. It has an IP address of 192.0.0.10. We can access it from IP addresses in the range of 192.0.0.XXX but not 192.168.1.XXX. I would like to be able to access it from both locations across our current VPN. At the moment if I ping from a 192.168.1.XXX location I get "Request timed out" response.

I can ping any PC on local IP address range from remote side of the VPN but just not the UNIX IP address.

Appreciate any help or advice.

Regards, Andy
 
sounds like your sco box doesn't know how to get back to the remote network.

see man route

netstat -nr to see your current routing table.

eg
route add -net 192.168.1.0 ip.address.ofyour.gateway
