| 179832 | 2003-10-02 14:56:00 | Does anybody have experience on LTSA WOFONLINE VPN sofware?, I had a job with two networked computers using internet connection sharing and one was a workstation W98SE and the other was the gateway machine WIN2000k service pack4 the client wanted to run the VPN software on both machines but I was only able to run the programme on the workstation and not the gateway machine, UNISYS Tech guys said that we would be unable to run the VPN software on the gateway machine as the VPN uses encryption code as does the internet connection sharing software could this be true? Or does anybody else have any ideas? |

| 179833 | 2003-10-02 23:24:00 | I'm trying to understand what you're saying here, It looks like your win98se workstation has a vpn setup with the unisys network and is running the wof software ok. When you refer to the gateway win2000k machine do you mean 'gateway' as in brand name or 'gateway' as in gateway to the internet. Does the win98se machine connect to the internet through the win2k machine using ICS or vice versa. Is the vpn configuration on the win2k machine set up correctly, in other words are the appropriate boxes checked in the encryption properties of the connection. If the win98se vpn is setup ok then make sure the win2k box is setup the same. I might be barking up the wrong tree here but as you've had no other replies I thought I'd give it a stab :-) | pompeymike (4601) | ||
| 179834 | 2003-10-03 05:03:00 | Oh...sorry, yeah I mean workstation/server not a gateway machine ( I should know better I get confused with the same issue). But yeah the W98SE is using the W2K machine for internet access, but I'll have a stab at configuring the encryption properties as you mentioned. However the VPN software when trying to install on the win2k states that the internet connection sharing should be uninstalled. Do I find the encryption properties within the network folder? |

| 179835 | 2003-10-03 13:41:00 | ok, I think I know where you're coming from now. You're comment about the encryption coding in your first post threw me off course. What the unisys guy meant was that you can't have ICS enabled for your internet connection AND have the VPN client running on the same machine (W2K) because the VPN client would direct all traffic to the default gateway on the remote VPN server, therefore your W98SE would lose internet access. However.....you can share a VPN client connection using ICS much the same as you can share an internet connection using ICS. In a nutshell you have to have the W2K box as your internet ICS host (which you already have), and the W98SE as a VPN ICS host. Set up ICS on the VPN connection of the W98SE box just as if it were an internet connection, and then set the W2K box up to use it (i.e. as an ICS client to the VPN ICS host). I must say that I would be amazed if this worked first time as I'm groping around in the dark here ! but it's the only logical way I can think of doing it. Perhaps there's someone else out there that knows a bit about VPN's :-) Good luck |
