Hi Sundar,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my problem. After trawling through different posts in the forums I found out about the MTU commands to reduce the size of packets being sent and it seems to have resolved the issue. However, one thing I noted as strange is when I try to open an RDP session to a host on the other side of the vpn tunnel it won't connect but if I enter the hostname it workes fine. I'm not sure if this is normal in VPN's or a fault in my configuration.
The major issue im experiencing at the moment is DNS settings through the VPN.
At the Office side I have a Windows 03 Server running DNS,DHCP and AD which caters for the whole office network. The goal is to expand the Office network to my Home network. The two networks don't seem to be playing ball together though.
I'm not sure how to approach this. I have configured the DHCP server on the Home router to give the clients the DNS address of the 03 Server but I think because it;s on a different I.P range there's a communication problem.
I get the standard applying settings hang for ages when connecting machines to the domain which normally occurs when there are DNS issues. On initial impressions it seems I can resolve most host names from the Office end. However, the Office end can not resolve hostnames on the Home end. So I'm guessing this is where the issue is residing.
I know it's alot to read so I appreciate anybody who takes the time to listen.
If somebody has any answers for me that would be brilliant or if anyone knows what's causing the communication issues between the Windows machines that would be great.
Ps. thanks again to Sundar for taking the time to respond.
Many thanks
Matt
