I am slowly working toward a vpn between the office and home. I now have to change my lan at work so as not to conflict w/ the lan at home.After looking into this further, I am still perplexed. Here is the topology I started w/:at work, i reconfigured my eth1 interface: eth1 192.168.2.1 255.255.254.0 eth1:0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 the windblows machine i have connected to eth1 is 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 this configuration will conflict w/ the lan at home. when i reconfigure the windblows machine to 192.168.2.100 255.255.254. 0, it arps but i cannot ping 192.168.2.1 i don't think the ip address is outside of the range of the netmask but maybe i am incorrect?suggestions?
my windows workstation 192.168.1.100/24 ------| debian gw corporate gw |--192.168.1.1/24 -- 10.20.4.40/23 eth1 eth0 isp 24.45.154.0/24 -----| my debian gw my home lan |-- 192.168.1.1/24 ---|---192.168.1.0/24eth0 eth1 So, to get any VPN working (openVPN in my case), I have to change the addressing scheme on my windows workstation at work and the GW at work. Easy enough, right? Well ... I thought I could change the addresses to 192.168.2.100/24 and 192.168.2.1/24 respectively. When I do this, the workstation and GW at work do not communicate between each other. I can see arp requests and replys between the two work 192.168.1.0/24 machines, but I cannot ping nor get to the corporate gw from the workstation. I should know by now what I am doing wrong but it is not obvious to me.
Suggestions? isp
