[vpn] newbie setting up vpn

Well, considering that you have two networks with the exact same
addressing scheme, you're in a lot of trouble. You'll have to re-address
one of the networks (192.168.1.x) to ever have any hope of connectivity
between the two.

Hi all,

Forgive my ignorance here but I am trying to set up a small vpn
connection 
between two offices.

Office A:
win2k machine on a small network behind a Netgear router. I set up the 
router to forward vpn traffic on port 1723 to the Win2K machine. That 
machine has been setup to accept incoming calls. I set up the local
network 
using 192.168.0.x addresses. I configured the incoming connection to
accept 
calls from networks with that address range. I also made the Office A
local 
disk shared.

Office B:
WinXP machine on a small network behind a Netgear router. Again, I setup

the router to forward vpn traffic on port 1723. That machine was setup
with 
an outgoing vpn connection to Office A with an IP address of
192.168.0.100. 
This local network is also 192.168.0.x.

 From Office B, I dial out to Office A and get a connection. I can see
the 
connection being made at A. So far all is well. HOWEVER, from B, I
cannot 
see any of Office A's network, files, computers, etc. It is almost like 
there is no connection at all.


HELP!! I am stumped.


Nate
