RV042 Multiple subnets

[bentleymrk]

Here's what I want to do with my RV042: I have a bunch of devices, including a server, inside my network at 192.168.1.100

I've set up VPN using PPTP. It works, but if my clients have their own remote DHCP set up to 192.168.1.x, they can't get to the server. If their home DHCP is 10.x.x.x., everything works

I am considering changing my internal network to something obscure.

My server has two NICs. So I thought, I why not set one address up to 10.x.x.x But the two nets can't ping each other. I tried using "multiple subnet" on the RV042, setting up 10.1.1.1, but no luck.

I feel like I'm close...

Hi Mark, the multiple subnet is the right feature. My brain is a little rusty so I'd ask you to try a couple things. First one is, with your existing mutiple subnet rule, verify the machine's firewalls are disabled so they may echo reply. Also ensure you have a gateway set up to be such as 10.1.1.1 while the machine IP is like 10.1.1.100.

Second, if that doesn't work, try to modify the multiple subnet to be something like 10.1.1.0 (I am not sure if it will take a zero value, this is where my memory is failing me).
