Hi guys,

Need some advise on this one please:

I am trying to get a vpn set up to a soho router on a clients site and would
Appreciate any suggestions you guys can offer.

The problem is that the vpn fails to connect because the clients internal
LAN Ip range is on 192.1.1.0/24. If I simulate a the clients LAN on 192.168.0.0
then it works fine. So I know the reason the VPN fails is due to the clients
internal IP structure not being on one of the default non-routable ranges.

I can’t change the clients infrastructure so any ideas on how to get a soho
Allow a vpn connection to a network where the internal ip structure is NOT on one of the standard non-routable ranges?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi protechonline,
could you please tell me what you mean by "default non-routable ranges" ?

thanks

We have a client that we set-up a VPN with and because they were on the same 192.168.x.x subnet range we used on this end, we had to set-up a NAT and tie it to the VPN tunnel. They were also not using a Watchguard firewall either so we had some issues, but we finally got it working.

When we set-up a VPN with our office in the UK recently, we went ahead and renumbered their subnet to a different range up front to ease things. They only had 20 users so it wasn't that difficult to renumber their subnet so that it wasn't the same as ours.

Good luck,
Larry
