apologies if this is too much or not enough info.
basically, the connection itself seems to work fine, but i can't ping from one side of the vpn to the other (in either direction) and there doesn't seem to be any other kind of connectivity either.
the guide i followed said to create the VPN DHCP pool in the same subnet as my LAN (outside the normal DHCP pool of the LAN), but i do that, the VPN server on the router won't start so i set it as 10.5.0.0 and it's connecting fine.
the routing tale in my router looks like this:
my LAN is on the 192.168.1.x subnet and my modem is on 192.168.0.x, with the vpn on 10.5.0.x.
there seems to be entries for the vpn in there, but i'm not sure if that's all i need or if i need to put something extra in there to enable clients to see each other from opposite ends of the vpn?
sorry if there's any stupid questions in there, but i'm still learning.
thanks for any help.
