Is there any hardware, or any kind of configuration that will allow me to have an actual MAC address on the network when I'm connected via VPN? I'm currently using Windows 10 PRO on the remote machine and using its built in VPN connector feature to connect to the Domain.īefore you ask, no I am not doing anything illegal or out of bounds for the software we purchased. The issue, however, is that I have a remote computer which I have connected using VPN through the router, and the MAC address fails to "resolve" when connecting. For authentication purposes, when the client software tries to connect to the server, the asks for the client's IP and MAC addresses.Įverything works just fine when computers on the same local network connect to server and use the software. This software requires there be a server, and workstations that connect to the server in order to run the client software. Thanks.Ĭheck the DNS settings on the server (see my earlier post in this thread).I run a small business and I have purchase an inventory software. Would greatly appreciate any insight or help on this.
I'm not sure how to fix this, or whether I need to change settings on either router or the server. I try to ping another OS X workstation on the work office, and get no response. In terminal, I try to ping the router on the work network (192.168.2.1) and I get no response (even though ICMP response is turn ON). It assigns me an IP address of 192.168.2.151 and I'm able to connect to iChat on the OS X server that has a static IP of 192.168.2.10
Pings timeout, etc.Īt my home, I have a local IP of 192.168.1.12 and I connect to the work VPN.
But, I cannot directly access any other device on the office network like client machines or even trying to log into the router's GUI interface. The problem is, I can connect to the VPN just fine and access all services running on that same OS X server like iChat and AFP file sharing. My home network uses a router with an IP of 192.168.1.1 and hands out IPs from 192.168.1.2-49īoth routers are using subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 The VPN service is configured to hand out IPs of 192.168.2.150-170. I have an OS X Lion server at work (uses a static IP of 192.168.2.10).
