Good morning, folks. I wonder if anyone could help me set up my Windows 2008 box, which I've been fiddling with. Doing this mostly blindly, since I never messed with this before.
I have a Windows 2008 server behind a router. My router is the DHCP server. I now want to enable VPN access into it. My router doesn't support it, so I opened all the necessary LL2P ports pointing at the server and installed Routing and Remote Access on the Windows server. I've also set up DHCP Relay pointing at the router's IP. My understanding is that when my remote client connects, the server will forward the DHCP request to the router, get an IP for me and let me start working.
What seems to be happening is that my remote client gets the same IP as the server, which naturally doesn't really help much.
I tried giving RRAS a set of static IP addresses instead of DHCP Relay, but that gives me a default gateway and subnet mask that only allow me to access that specific subrange, not the rest of the local network.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
