Help for create a VPN.

[Guaicaipuro]

Hi guys I posted a thread a few days ago, but with no success, maybe because my english is not good. Let me try again.
I have a network (192.168.0.x/255.255.255)with windows xp pro on all the workstations. This network is behind a router Speed Touch 510i (192.168.0.254), who gives access to internet to the network.
In one of the workstations I config a VPN server.
The router have the 1723 port open, the protocol 47 enabled and is pptp forward.
On a remote machine I config a VPN client.
Now, I can establish the connection with the router of the network, that means VPN is succesfully established and I can ping the router (192.168.0.254) but I can't do anything else, that means I can't ping or access the VPN server.
My question is, what I'm doing wrong? Why I can't see the computer that is behind the router?
Thaks in advance for your help guys.

Regards

Make sure no firewall blocks the ping.

Hi DougP

you can ping the router that hides the vpn server? And can´t ping the server?

Is that what happens to you?

Maybe someone can help us solve this problem. I don't know what to do.

=(

 

[DougP]

here is what we have to do
Instead of using the name of the server we have to use the IP address of the Server like 192.168.1.10
Click Start then Search then "Search for Printers, Computers or People"
key in the IP
then double click it when it shows and map drives or whatever

Sorry guys,
I have a big problem with my adsl connection the last 6 days.

For that reason I could not test anything.
Now I'm gonna try again.

Talk to you latter

Cheers

Also make sure both VPN server and client don't use the same IP range. These search results may help,

Hi guys

I finish all the tests and for my surprise, now I can't even make connection with VPN server (error 800). Resuming this is worst then ever.

=(

If someone can help me with this VPN configuration I appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. I follow all the considerations explained in the sites you posted here.
