I recently set up a monowall firewall at my office and am trying to get the PPTP vpn server working. The problem I'm running into is that my office subnet is set to the very popular 192.168.1.x. This ofcourse is the default setting that linksys, and may other, routers are set to. So when I log into the VPN from my home network (via my linksys router and it's 192.168.1.x subnet) it doesn't work, of course. Changing my home network to something like 192.168.0.x solved the problem for myself, but we have many people who travel and log in via networks that they have no control over. So next you are going to tell me to change my office network to something obscure like 192.168.87.x right? Well that is easier said than done because our office network consists of at least 10 servers, 6 printers, 4 access points, 2 dhcp servers, 1 wireless bridge and a partridge in a pear tree. Reconfiguring our network would be difficult, especially reconfiguring each computer to recognize the new static ip of the printers. So my questions ars... Is there any other way to get this vpn to work? Will the new software with OpenVPN solve this? Do I have to reconfigure my subnet? Also one other question... when I log into the vpn from home and do an 'ipconfig -all' it lists the ip address of the firewall/pptp server as one of the DNS servers. Where on the monowall can I edit the DNS settings and push some custom entries like 'fileserver --> 192.168.1.253'. Thanks for any help. ~MK |
