VPN connecting but not allowing me to access lan was created by bigfoot1984
Hi

I'm trying to set up a VPN tunnel form home to work, it connects fine but wont let me access anything on the network.

I have read around abit and tried to open port 80 and 1723 ect on the router but nothing seems to work. i'm using a vigor 2600 with V.2.5.6. When trying it i have turned off the computers firewalls.

any ideas, what I've done wrong?

This may be a bit obvious to you but worth a check. Is your home network and work network on the same subnet, eg. 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.255.0.

How are you trying to access network devices? Are they firewalled?

What type of VPN are you running (IPSec, PPTP, L2TP/IPSec)? There should be no need to open any ports on the 2600.
2900Gi/v2.5.6; 2900/v2.5.6
