VPN connection Problem if on same network

[louie728]

Hello all,

I currently have a VPN set up that works great if the connection is not from the same network. Example if the client 's computer has an address of 192.168.0.xxx, it connects via vpn everything is great. If the client has an address 192.168.1.xxx it connects, but cannot see anything on the other network even though the connection is connected. The server side of the VPN is on a 192.168.1.xxx network. I cannot change the network on the server side nor can I control the clients lan connections. Any help would be greatly appreciated,I have to go through hoops to configure clients routers to do DHCP for diffrent addresses and can be a pain for the non computer savy.

Regards,

if i understand right, you have an network card in the pc that makes the vpn connection right?

If this is the case, then it is absolutely correct not to communicate with the network 192.168.1.0 because all the 192.168.1.0 traffic is being send through your nic card.

Change the ip address of the nic card and everything will be ok.

when you connect to the vpn, go to command prompt and give the command: Route Print to see the routing table of your pc.

Tell me what it shows

Thanks nsvoy. Here is the routing table from a computer on the same network that connects to the VPN but cannot access resources.
