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.

Thank you!

Add Static Route to VPN Connection

Asked by xnmb in Internet Protocols, Windows Networking, Networking Protocols

hello,

while connected to my home network and to my work's network (via VPN), i want to be able to connect to a server at my work. the problem is that both my home and work networks both use 192.168.x.x as host ID. when i try to connect to the server at work, the route being used is the gateway of my home network.

when connected to my home network, my wireless adapter has the following IP configuration:

Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
        Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1F-3C-3A-84-A6
        Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
        Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.10
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2
        DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2

when connected to my VPN connection (remote gateway disabled), my PPP adapter has the following IP configuration:

PPP adapter WORK VPN:
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
        Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00
        Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.50.102
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

when connected to my VPN connection (remote gateway enabled), my PPP adapter has the following IP configuration (default gateway is same as IP acquired, work server is reachable when VPN connection's gateway is enabled):

PPP adapter WORK VPN:
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
        Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00
        Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.50.106
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.50.106

the IP of the server at work i wish to connect to is 192.168.70.2

question is, how can i add a persistent route so that i can connect to my work server without using my VPN connection's default gateway? is it possible to specify a dynamic default gateway in ROUTE ADD based on the acquired VPN  IP? is it possible to do this for a persistent route?

please help. thanks.Start Free Trial
