The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

VPN to remote network on same subnet as local network

Zones: Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Tivoli Storage Manager

Tags: vpn, same, subnet, network, remote

Hi,

My local subnet is 10.0.1.x and I'm trying to establish a dial-up vpn connection to a network that is also a 10.0.1.x subnet. I connect fine but can't access any resources on the remote subnet - which is expected. All the research I've done says it's best to change one of the subnets - and I agree, but does anyone know if there are any work-arounds without changing one of the subnets? Some have said it is possible to add a static route to get it to work, but they don't give details, or the instructions they give don't apply to my specific situation. If my local subnet is 10.0.1.x and I'm assigned 10.0.1.210 from the vpn connection, and I want to communicate with 10.0.1.6 that is on the remote subnet, how can I tell XP to route traffic destined to 10.0.1.6 through the vpn gateway? Right now it assumes that 10.0.1.6 is on the local subnet so it doesn't forward packets to the gateway.

I've tried> "route add 10.0.1.6 mask 255.255.255.255 10.0.1.210" but it gives an error.

Is there any way around this for those rare instances when both are on the same subnet and you can't change the ip scheme?

Thanks.
