I’m offsite on a 192.168.1.x LAN. I’m connecting to my Balance 380 office via my Mac PPTP client. The office’s network is also 192.168.1.x. When I connect to the office’s VPN, I get:
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1444
inet 192.168.1.18 –> 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00
When connected to the PPTP VPN, I can get to the Peplink browser based admin at http://192.168.1.1.
I have a host behind the Peplink that I’m trying to reach (192.168.1.10.) I’m not sure what configuration I have to do on the Peplink vs. what I might need to do on my mac to make this happen.
Ideally these two networks would be on unique subnets and then the MAC would know how to route to the 1.10 address, otherwise I’m sure it is just trying to route it on the local LAN you are connected to.
In your MAC PPTP client settings, there is an option to send all traffic through the VPN and this should do the trick.
The 1.10 IP address is probably already defined on the local network and the default gateway must not be 1.1 or else you would not be able to reach the Balance web admin. I don’t think this is going to work if both networks are the same…
