VPN Client Subnet Issues - Hopefully simple for someone who knows how!

Question

Hi Everyone.

I'm trying to set up VPN access with using SSTP in my home network.

I have a virtual machine with two network adapters.

The 'internal' adapter settings are: IP - 192.168.1.7 Sub - 255.255.255.0 DNS - 192.168.1.2 (local dns server) WINS - 192.168.1.2 (local wins server)

The 'external' adapter settings are IP - 192.168.1.8 Sub - 255.255.255.0 DNS - 192.168.1.1 (router)

IP address assignment is done via a DHCP forwarder to the router

All incoming SSTP requests are forwarded to 192.168.1.8 and I can authenticate with a client just fine and establish a persistant connection.

The internet connection settings on the client are: IP - 10.0.0.2 Sub - 255.0.0.0 GW - 10.0.0.1 DNS - 10.0.0.1

I get assigned a valid IP address from the router but I get a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and consequently, can't access anything on the lan.

Please can someone help. I think I've tweaked every setting possible on both client and server so I'd really appreciate any comments.

Thanks, Jason
