hi,

i am having an issue with a user who cannot remote desktop to his pc after he connects to the vpn. windows firewall is off and he is an admin on the local computer. the vpn connection assigns an ip of 192.168.175.x and his local network gives out a 192.168.0.x. does this cause any issues, the fact that the ip range is the same? i have other users who is fine. any help on this is much appreciated. thanks.

the network ranges do not overlap in this scenario. can you tell us if this user is able to access other resources such as pinging misc. machines, internal web pages, etc.?

What about the destination address? Does he have a local route on his pc for the network he is trying to RDP to? Is split tunneling being used? If so, does everything work when split tunneling is turned off? If split tunneling is not used, I would consider ipsec debuggig to see if his requests are even making it to the firewall.

I am also assuming this is isolated to one user. If so, my money is on the local route.
