remote VPN access to LAN

RouterOS General
1

Dear all,

I’m trying to set up a remote VPN access to my LAN and there’s something that I’m not managing to set figure out;

See the attached diagram of my network ; It’s a LAN in the 10.10.10.0/24 range NAT’ed to the Internet through a Mikrtik RB450 (OS 4.6). I have a remote VPN client set up to get IP 10.10.10.199 through PPTP VPN. I would like this client to appear as though it was part of the LAN once it connects to the VPN (ping, filesharing etc..).

The client is able to log in ViA VPN without problem. It is able to ping the mikrotik through this connection (on the 10.10.10.10 IP)

I HAVE enable proxy-arp on the LAN ethernet interface of the Mikrotik.

However, the traveling client is NOT able to ping any computers on the LAN.
Where it gets freaky, is that all the clients are able to ping the traveling client and access all it’s services.

This does not seem to be a firewall issue ; I have tried with 2 different systems with all firewalls disabled.

I’ve read all the doc I have come across, but don’t seem to figure out what’s missing as i’ve pretty much followed the instructions…

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

problem is in your VPN client.

You must tell the connection to not use the remote gateway to connect trough internet. If you are using Windows XP OS, go to Netowork Connections->right click on VPN connection->Properties->Networking->select TCP/IP protocol and click on Properties button->Advanced->and uncheck “Use default gateway on remote network”.

Now, you can ping all devices on your LAN.

I hope this helps.
