need to use the gateway on the remote side of VPN for internet

[xplosive]

Hello,

I am going to try to discribe what I am trying to do the best I can. So if this sounds off topic at first please bear with me.

I have a number of customers that I do business for via either a terminal service or pcanywhere connection into their network. Most of these customers have allowed access to these functions to the WAN IP at my office only. Now my employee base consists mostly of telecommuters on either DSL or cable internet connections.

At the main office, I am using the Netgear FVL328 VPN router. Off site employees use prosafe VPN client to connect to the main office. I have successfully configured and established the VPN connection from the client to the router and everything functions as it should. I can browse the network, map drive, etc. My assumption during setup was that if an off site employee tunneled into the main office that their internet access would be routed through the remote gateway thus allowing them to be able to connect to the customers system. However, this is not the case. With a VPN connection established via the prosafe client, the internet is still routed through the local gateway.

So at last my question is, is there a way to route the local internet traffic of the off site employee through the VPN tunnel and out the remote gateway at the main office?

If it can't be done with my current hardware is there any hardware/software that it can be done with?

I appologize if I have gone into too much detail here. I am not the best at discribing things

If your current VPN device does not have the options of to use the office vpn as the default internet gateway and also gives your remote workers network ip's (using DHCP to assign it to them) probably not. I know that I have done some vpn setups that work the way you would like and they are all using Sonicwall firewall/vpn devices. It takes a little work with the client but it works nicely.

Technically, as long as your remote users are coming in and they are given local ip addresses as if they are on your office network, it should work the same for them as it does for you.
