Win2003 + 2 routers + VPN = b0rk3d

[Dark[NSF]]

Does anyone know what settings on a windows 2003 server would prevent me from accessing a remote network?? I can connect to the remote router via local ip address.. but I can't connect any of the machines at the remote location back to the server. They can't see the DNS, or join the Domain.

I'm just trying to create a VPN tunnel to create a WAN and there is a policy or something that is preventing me from connecting normally..



Thanks in advance.

Agh, it has been 4 or 5 months since I have set up a VPN/WAN using Windows servers..

Now, two solaris boxes are a great way to set up a VPN..

I love IPF.

I just get sick of shops that only use WIndows because they don't want to consider anything else.. There is one company (that will remain nameless) that has software with a database backend. They are switching from Access to an MSSQL solution, to scale things up. They won't even consider MySQL, because it isn't made by MS. This is a company that makes software for small and medium sized businesses; businesses that don't have money to blow on MSSQL server software.

They could increase revenue easily by switching to MySQL instead of MSSQL, but they don't care. I did a test port of one of their access DBs, and it ported to MySQL just as well as it did to MSSQL (which actually wasn't very well; MOST of the data ported over, but some of it got funkified). As well, MySQL isn't that tough, and there is a buttload of support and training for it.

Sorry, a bit off topic, but I felt like a rant
