Hi all,
I have a PC that is running Windows XP and there are multiple user
environments present (similar to a terminal server) whereby there is the
console (sitting in front of the PC) and then individual user windows
sessions for other users attaching through lets say RDP(but not RDP).
In each windows session/environment there is a network application (similar
to telnet) that must attach to an application server(on a different but
nearby subnet). The application server only will accept connections from 1
IP address therefore the first user to launch the application connects and
the rest get denied. I need to make each session appear to be coming from a
different IP on this subnet.
My idea is to have each user create a PPTP/L2TP connection to a local RRAS
server on the subnet, thereby getting a unique IP address by which I want
the network application to use as it's source address when connecting to the
application server.
I tried this and I did obtain the IP address, however when I tried to
connect to the app server I found my source was still using the WinXP
systems IP address for example 10.0.0.3 (instead of 10.0.0.6 obtained
through DHCP in RRAS). I found this by using netstat -n -o.
Any ideas on how to get this to work either my way or another way?
Thanks,
Mike
