You should be able to assign IP addresses to the VPN clients when they connect. Use a different range when you connect. Obviously if this is another company that is hosting the VPN, they will need to make the changes for you. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Wilk [mailto:markwilk () gmail com] Sent: Tue 11/29/2005 9:32 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com; pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: IP renumbering vs. Stand-alone Hello Group, I work for a small office with around 100 users with two office buildings connected by fiber. The main office has two domain controllers and a Lotus Notes server, all running Win2k3 and the Satellite office has one domain controller running Win2k3. All of the users are or will be running Win XP and we use a PIX firewall. The issue we have is we recently set up an additional program (2 users) that is part of our organization but can also be treated as a stand-alone office. This separate office needs to VPN into another location that has the same internal IP numbering scheme as us thus causes a problem. Our two options are to renumber our internal IP address or to treat the office as a complete stand-alone and have them VPN into our network as well as the other location. The problem we run into with the stand-alone option is that this same program might be set up in the satellite office as well meaning they will have to VPN into 3 different locations. Another issue is the fact that both offices are located in the middle of nowhere, so the same ISP we have in the main office isn't available in the satellite office. What would be the best way to go about this? Has anyone had to deal with renumbering their network? How much downtime should I expect if I take this route? How difficult is it to set up multiple VPN connections on the same machine? -- Mark [Your Skills In Reading Have Improved +1]
