![]() ![]() ![]() The output of netstat may include an IP range/Destination for your remote network (e.g., 192.168/16), and may show the interface that should be used (Netif) on the right. If the route for that device is not showing the correct interface, it may help to show all routes on the machine using netstat: netstat -nr Often, you'll see something like "ppp0" or "gif0" (or some other interface, other than en0/en1) The route should report an interface that is being used to connect to that device. If the machine is responding to pings, you should be able to connect to it.However, if you're not seeing IMCP (ping) responses, it's possible that your machine doesn't know the route to that computer (i.e., the VPN interface.) See what 'route' reports for that IP: route get 192.168.1.5 If you are still not able to connect to the server using the IP address, see if your machine can ping that IP address (assuming prismweb5's IP is 192.168.1.5): ping 192.168.1.5 However, this would require that you know what the IP address of the server "prismweb5" is (or be able to perform a lookup to retrieve that address). The problem occurs when any larger IPSec traffic occurs. ![]() The server that needs to be accessed via the VPN is on a specific (local - 10.x.x.x) IP address and a specific. The devs have to disconnect from the VPN to get email/internet access back. However, it seems to be configured to send all or nothing through the VPN. The user can open mapped folders, ping or access the router as if local, remote desktop to the file sharing PC and work on it remotely. We're using Shrewsoft's VPN client to connect to a third party development server. I'm not sure about Shrewsoft, but many VPN clients allow DNS server settings to be changed to specific servers when the VPN connects.Īlternately, you can avoid using DNS names to connect to the server, and simply use the IP address to connect. The Shrew VPN client software will connect to the Netvanta 3120 with no issues and seems to work normally. This will allow your machine to perform lookups of 'internal' names. This setup may be referred to as "split-DNS", and the private name "prismweb5" may not be something that can be looked up on your 'normal' DNS servers (those provided by your home ISP).Ī workaround for this would potentially be to set the DNS server that is at the remote office as the primary DNS server for the network interface (Ethernet, Wi-Fi) that you're using to connect. It's also possible that the DNS name "prismweb5" cannot be resolved from outside of the network. The search domain would be appended to the hostname that you're referencing above, so if your search domain is "", the FQDN would be. You're referencing the SSH server with the name "prismweb5" - that name will likely only work if you have "search domains" setup for the network interface that you're using. ![]()
