VPN Client hiding Static
IP?
----------
Hi,
I have a
problem that I just can't
solve. I've contacted my
ISP, NETGEAR, etc., and
even brought in someone
who claimed to be a
networking expert.
No-one has been able to
help me solve or
understand this
problem.
I have a
static ip addresss from
my internet service
provider (SHAW), and on
my server I am developing
a web application. I can
access my web server via
the static ip from an
outside computer - up
until I start a VPN
client (Nortel) running
on my server. After that
I just get timeouts when
trying to access the
server from an outside
computer. I need to run
the VPN on my server
because it needs to
access a database on a
government network. With
the VPN running on my
server, I can still
access the server via the
static ip address from
another computer on my
LAN though (when I am
using a
router).
I've
tried this going directly
to the cable modem, or
through a router - same
thing
happens.
Other
strange things: If I
just connect my computer
to the cable modem, the
default ip address I am
assigned is not the
static ip address I was
assigned by shaw - I need
to go into my TCP/IP
settings and manually set
the static ip address I
want. Is this
normal?
Also, even
before I run a VPN client
on my server, I cannot
PING my static ip address
(though shaw says it is
working) from my LAN
(when I am using a
router) or from an
outside computer - I just
get timeout.
When
I run the Nortel VPN
Client, it shows an
Assigned Ip Address. I
can access my server
through this Ip Address
from anywhere, but this
doesn't really do me any
good - I need to be able
to access my server using
my static ip
address.
Am I just
missing something about
how VPN works, or is
there a setting somewhere
I am missing, or maybe
the cable modem (Motorola
Surfboard SB5100) has
limitations I am not
aware of.
I really
would appreciate any
help.
