VPN LAN problems

Hi all,

I've been lurking the forums for a long time, but this is the first time I've run into an issue that I can't resolve.

I have a NetGear VPN router sitting at an office. Here's the setup of the local LAN at said office:

Cable Modem - Dynamic IP
-->
NetGear VPN router (LAN IP set to 192.168.168.168)
-->
10 port switch
-->
Multiple computers and devices, with LAN IP ranges of 192.168.168.201 to .210


I have the VPN router's DHCP disabled (some of the devices on the LAN require static IPs). All devices have their static IPs set and can access each other / WAN without a problem.

I have a notebook computer with the NetGear Prosafe VPN client installed. On the VPN router, I've set a single policy, with setting of Local LAN IP set to 192.168.0.1 (seperate IP scope than the rest of the LAN), and remote IP is set to 192.168.168.225

I can connect to the VPN perfectly fine, the client initiates IKE Phase 1 and 2 and completes them, I get a Virtual Adapter connection and the VPN client says that I've connected successfully. Command line ipconfig on the notebook shows the following:


Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : yt.northwestel.net
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 205.*.*.*
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 199.*.*.*

PPP adapter SafeNet Virtual Adapter Interface:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.168.225
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :


I can browse the web no problem and do anything I want "online" with the notebook, but I can't ping or connect to anything on the remote LAN that I'm VPN'd to. Ex: I can't ping or pull up the web interface for the VPN router at 192.168.168.168.

I've changed the IPs about a hundred times, tried 172.* internal IPs, I've tried enabling / disabling NetBIOS, even tried enabling DHCP, though that shouldn't matter as far as I know....

Anyone have any ideas ?
 
so you obviously have split tunneling enabled, did you define the "interesting" traffic for the VPN tunnel?? I've never used this device before so I wouldn't be able to tell you where to look.

I hate all Uppercase... I don't want my groups to seem angry at me all the time! =)
