Hi,
My local subnet is 10.0.1.x and I'm trying to establish a dial-up vpn connection to a network that is also a 10.0.1.x subnet. I connect fine but can't access any resources on the remote subnet - which is expected. All the research I've done says it's best to change one of the subnets - and I agree, but does anyone know if there are any work-arounds without changing one of the subnets? Some have said it is possible to add a static route to get it to work, but they don't give details, or the instructions they give don't apply to my specific situation. If my local subnet is 10.0.1.x and I'm assigned 10.0.1.210 from the vpn connection, and I want to communicate with 10.0.1.6 that is on the remote subnet, how can I tell XP to route traffic destined to 10.0.1.6 through the vpn gateway? Right now it assumes that 10.0.1.6 is on the local subnet so it doesn't forward packets to the gateway.
I've tried> "route add 10.0.1.6 mask 255.255.255.255 10.0.1.210" but it gives an error.
Is there any way around this for those rare instances when both are on the same subnet and you can't change the ip scheme?
Thanks.
