I have a VPN setup behind a large city-wide network. I'm using an RV042 VPN router at this location and at the other end of the VPN. I have been working with the tech for the city's network to get my problem resolved, but we haven't been able to complete the connection.
I'm able to get the router behind the city's network (Loc 1) to connect to the other end (Loc 2) to complete the gateway-to-gateway VPN. But I'm unable to access the computer or the router at Loc 2 from Loc 1. The router at Loc 1 can be accessed via its local IP from Loc 1 AND its public IP from my office. Both routers say the VPN is connected.
The RV042 has a one-to-one NAT feature that I'm not too familiar with. I was hoping someone could tell me if this would help my situation or not.
Some info that may help:
Loc 1 local IP subnet is 192.168.50.0
Loc 1 router local IP address is 10.5.10.x to coincide with the city's network
Loc 1 public IP address is 216.54.x.x which is one of the city's public addresses theylet us use.
Loc 2 local IP subnet is 192.168.20.0
Loc 2 router IP address is 192.168.20.1
Loc 2 public address is 68.15.158.x static IP we pay for thru the ISP.
Loc 1 uses the:
68.15.158.x IP as its remote security gateway
192.168.20.0 as the remote security group
216.54.x.x as the local security gateway
10.5.10.0 as the local security group
Loc 2 uses the:
216.54.x.x as its remote security gateway
10.5.10.0 as the remote security group
68.15.158.x as the local security gateway
192.168.20.0 as the local security group
Above there is no reference to Loc 1's 192.168.50.0 local subnet. I can't give them any of the 10.5.10.0 addresses as they are used for several other city offices & dept's
I'm sure there are several other routers on the city's network that are involved but their tech said he had gotten them straight to allow our VPN to get thru. And since we can access the router locally using the 10.5.10.x IP, I'm assuming that he's probably right. Also both routers are connecting to each other.
My understanding is that one-to-one NAT maps external IP's to internal IP's, so if we could some how map the city's IP's with our offices IP's we may be able to connect the offices. But I'm not sure what addresses to map to what using this feature.
This is about as clear as I can make it. So I hope everyone can decipher it. But please ask questions if something isn't clear enough.
Thanks in advance!!
