XP VPN Routes

[BruceJones]

I am having a bit of trouble getting my XP VPN setup working the way I want it to. I have got everything set up and I can connect to the VPN server. I can ping all of the machines on the VPN servers network no problem. I can see that when I connected to the server, a route was added which is correctly directing traffic destined for the servers network. Trouble is I want this to work both ways. I need the server end to be able to access my network. It appears that no route is automaticly set up on the remote end.

The server network is set up as:
100.100.100.x
255.255.255.0
with the VPN server 100.100.100.200


The client network is set up as"
192.168.0.x
255.255.255.0
when connecting to the VPN server it is assigned 100.100.100.201

I have little knowledge of IP routing but I can see that a route was automaticly created on the client side routing traffic to the server network. How can I set up a route on the server side that will route all traffic destined for the clients LAN?

Thanks.

You can go into RRAS, and add a static route. If you open up the RRAS snap-in, I believe you right-click general properties under IP? I don't have it in front of me, but there is an option to Add a static route...

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I know (well not really I suppose) how to add a route. I just don't know what route to add. My attempts have met with failure. I have tried:

route add 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 100.100.100.200
route add 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 100.100.100.201

Each to the appropriate interface. These do not work. Actually one of them produces an error when attempting to add the route.

I am an utterly hopeless novice when it comes to this stuff. If my discriptions and information are insufficient please let me know.

Thanks

The first one looks correct to me. Are you connected when you try and create this?

One other thing. Once connected, run an IPCONFIG /ALL and see what adapters are listed. This could be where the trouble lies...
