Can't use Open Tunnel - why?

Hi all,

At my office I am using a Linksys BEFSX41 switch as a VPN endpoint and can open a tunnel from home (using the Greenbow VPN Client on an XP-Pro PC) - both ends confirm the tunnel is active. However, I cannot 'see' any computers on either end - cannot ping; cannot log on the the work domain (NT4); cannot connect to Terminal Server (W2000), nothing.

Can anyone give me any pointers? The more I read, the more confused I am becoming...

Tony

Hi again,

in case it's any use to anyone else, I have resolved my problem. Simply, I have added my remote client's IP address into the domain/proxy server's LAT (Local Address Table) and now have full VPN access - Terminal Services, ping replies, etc.

Glad to have sorted this one out - it was beginning to get on my nerves!
