Hello all .. here's what I've got.

User uses his XP laptop on the domain - no problems
accessing all parts of the network - he's DHCP on a
192.168 network, He VPN's through a cable modem at home
and connects to the VPN server on a different portion of
the network (172.16.32.x). User can see everything on the
network but any resources on the 192.168.x.x network.

A different user has a W2K laptop, same VPN client
software is installed and get everyone on the entire
network - it doesn't matter which IP group either ->
172.16.32.x or 192.168.x.x

Anyone know why the XP laptop cannot get to the
192.168.x.x network?

Regards,

Mike

There are several things to consider:

- Is the XP user setup for Split VPN?
- What does the Cable Modem setup have for a Cable Router? Linksys
perhaps?

I've seen this problem with Split-VPN enabled users running Windows XP
and have a linksys at home. The linksys which provides dhcp address
uses the 192.168.x.x block which might cause problems.

Also as Robert suggested, a cut/paste of "netstat -r" would help.

Well, this whole problems was a minor error on my part -
the router was setup as the same IP scheme as the one part
of the network in which when the laptop tried accessing
the network it wouldn't know where to go ...

I'm all set, I simply change the gateway IP on the router.

Thanks for your help!
