Have a bit of an issue here when connecting to my 7800N via VPN from my workplace. It seems I can connect to the VPN and when I do ifconfig (I'm using Mac OS X), it looks like I'm picking up an IP address too.
The problem I'm having is that I can't access anything on my home network. I can't connect to my CCTV or my PVR.

The only thing I can think of causing this issue is that the workplace network I am connecting from has 192.168.0.x addresses with a DG of 192.168.0.1. This is the exact same setup as my home network. So when I try and access anything on my home network which is a 192.168.0.x address then maybe it's looking for it on my works network?

Code: Select all

ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1444
	inet 192.168.0.70 --> 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00

If there is option on your mac to turn off 'Route All Traffic' or something similar try to disable this within the tunnel.

Hi there, I already tried this and unfortunately doesn't make a difference. The option to route all traffic is actually disabled by default. I tried it enabled and disabled. No joy.

Try changing your ends DHCP and gateway so it doesn't match your works IP range/gateway
