Hi,

My SOHO is behind a router, and behind the router is a domain
controller, etc.

Using a WinXP Pro box, I am able to setup to accept incoming
connections (router to allow the necessary ports), and able to connect
from outside.

The problem is: from outside, I would like to map to one of the boxes
(same subnet etc....) but it doesn't allow. And can I enforced Domain
Controller for the incoming connections?


Thanks,
Jacky
 
The XP is not designed as router. In most cases, XP VPN is peer to peer connection except you can make the XP works as router. These search results may help,

Hi Robert,

I have done all the article suggested:
1) use LMHOST
2) use different ip range
3) net use by IP
4) remove WinXP Firewall
5) enable file and printer sharing

I am able to:
1) ping IP address and name (since I have used HOST file)
2) VPN server and all computers under company network

Interesting Observation
1) when I connected via VPN, I have no internet connection:- unable to
ping to public IP (yahoo.com), unable to surf internet

I am still unable:
1) net use via IP or name



Wits end.....

It also could be a routing issue. For example the VPN server and
client should not use the same IP range

I understand it as:
My computer at home is 192.168.1.x

My VPN Server + computers in office are 192.168.0.1

When I VPN into the office, my VPN connection is 192.168.0.100


Am I doing / configuring anything wrong?
 
After you establish the VPN, the client will have two different IP address. That is OK. If you can't access the Internet after establishing the VPN, you may try to uncheck "Use the default gateway in remote network. This link may help,

Hi Robert,
