Ok im posting this here and in the VPN forum because im not entirely sure where it falls but im stuck.

I have a file server that is a member server of the enterprise domain. This server is also our VPN remote access server for the enterprise and it has dual nics. We used to have the VPN requests fowarding thru the current internet connection to the secondary nic on this server so it didnt bog down the main nic that all the machines use to connect to it. What we want to do is put the 2nd nic that we have been using for VPN on a seperate router and internet connection so that all remote users come thru on a seperate connection and dont use up all the bandwidth on the main connection.

I setup the new cable modem and router and told it to allow VPN traffic to pass-thru and even did a port foward for VPN to the server nic. Its a static IP on the server nic and i made it a different IP Scheme than the main network.

Its a D-Link EBR-2310 Gigabit Ethernet Routher. The settings are below...

Router 10.25.20.1
Subnet 255.255.255.0

Server IP 10.25.20.10
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.25.20.1
DNS Server 10.25.20.1

I can not get VPN to respond when we try and connect. I can connect using the old method going thru the main internet connection, but i cant get it to respond using the new setup. Is there something that i might need to change to tell it that its on a seperate connection or something? I did a port scan and VPN is open on the router and i checked and it atleast shows that pass-thru is turned on. Suggestions anybody? I need to try and get this figured out as quick as possible.
