At home I have a cable modem connected to a Microsoft Wireless cable router and d-ling 5 port switch. I have one desktop connected to it and 2 laptops connected wireless. I also have a server running Windows 2003 with a modem and dual NICs installed.
What I am trying to do is dial into the server to gain access to my cable internet connection while away from my house.
I have tried every connection method and configuration I can think of (obviously not the one that works. I am dialing in from a XP Pro laptop.
I can get the dial in connection to authenticate but it goes no where else.
I have DHCP configured on the server with 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 configured with DNS listed for my cable provider's DNS numbers.
Whan I run IPCONFIG on server it shows the information on the dial in adapter as 192.168.1.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. wrong subnet. And I can not change it.
It appears my dial in client is receiving IP from DHCP but also shows wrong subnet mask. 255.255.255.255
help, please. I have already bangged my head against wall and it has not fixed the problem.
