Life after VPN setup?
I have set up a VPN connection and it is connecting to the server.
Now what do I do????????????
The connection detail indicates an external IP address for the server and client (begins 65.40.xxx.xxx). It matches the static IP of the server except for the last group. The client gets a different one every time I connect. I thought this was suppose to show internal IPs like 192.168.xxx.xxx. The actual server address is 192.168.1.3.
Once connected I cannot access anything using RUN UNC where UNC is either the server name or any of the addresses shown (external or internal). It comes back saying it can't find it.
I set both computers to the same workgroup. The only thing I haven't done is to create an actual USER on the server to match the one I added during the VPN setup. Nothing says I have to do that, BUT............
Where have I missed the boat?
more questions;;;;
I assume, since I set this up thru XP and/or W7, that the info I gave it is sufficient for it to know where the packets are going. There is only a modem, router, and 2 computers on the other end and my endpoint and target are both the same computer. The target is set to rcv incoming.

You have to differentiate between the remote gateway (which is the machine that actually terminates your VPN tunnel) and the remote endpoints (the machines you want to access on the other side of the tunnel). This tunnel is just that, a tunnel to send packets through (encapsulated), and the tunnel exists between your VPN gateway and the remote VPN gateway. If your parameters are setup correctly, you can then access any host on the remote network by its IP address. If you do a tcpdump on the gateways, you'll be able to see if the tunnel was established correctly (this is usually the problem). And of course your routing table must know where to send your packets to (to your own VPN gateway).
