[I know there has been a number of postings to this list about setting up PPTP but I can't find any messages that explain this one setting well. Perhaps the detailed answers were sent directly to the originator and not the list. This said forgive me for opening an old subject again. JS]
Can someone clarify this step from the GNAT Box and PPTP setup instructions (URL: http://www.gnatbox.com/Pages/Tutor/pptptutor.html): - Add a static route for the PPTP Virtual network and use the real IP address of the NT PPTP server as the gateway to the virtual network. I've got the inbound tunnel and the remote access filter setup. Also have an alias for the external address and a static address mapping from the internal address to it's external address. It seams to be working fine without any static route. There are odd happenings but I think they are DNS related (like, when accessing a server by name it's external address is returned instead of the internal address for use through the tunnel). Is this static route really needed in the GNATBox configuration and what is it used for? In particular what is the "PPTP Virtual network"? My first guess was the subnet that the PPTP server is located on. In my case this is the protected network. GBAdmin doesn't like that, giving a 'WARNING Network address for 1, matches "PRO" network address (www.xxx.yyy.1)'. My next guess was that this should be the range of IP addresses defined in the PPTP server. This makes some since but I don't know why the GNATBox would need to talk or route to any of these addresses (after all they are all part of the protected network and can be directly addressed). Also this is defined in the server PPTP settings but the range does not need to be a maskable set of values (ie: our NT administrator used www.xxx.yyy.191 to www.xxx.yyy.198). (Don't ask me why.) Am I completely off here?
