Hi

I am trying to make a remote connection via vpn with a remote DrayTek router
that also acts as a vpn server. As my local router is on range 192.168.1.1
and remote DrayTek is on the same range too therefore to make one router on
different range I have set the remote DrayTek router as below;

1st IP Address to 192.168.0.1
DHCP Start IP Address to 192.168.0.10
Gateway IP Address to 192.168.0.1

I am able to establish vpn connection with remote DrayTek router just fine
with the above settings. The problem is I can't find or connect to any of
the remote PCs connected with remote DrayTek router. When I do an IP scan I
get the following live IPs;

192.168.1.1 My local router
192.168.1.3 My local PC in local mode
192.168.1.202 My local PC connected to remote DrayTek router

What can I do to be able to actually connect to any of the remote PCs which
seem inaccessible at the moment despite the fact that I can make a
successful VPN connection to the remote DrayTek router?

Many Thanks

Regards

You need to know that note that not only would the DryTek router needs
to be set up with 192.168.0.xxx IP addresses but also all remote PCs.
If the both networks have the same IP addresses, then your PC's VPN
connection is "confused" in sending the requests to the remote PCs
since both use the IP address "scheme" of 192.168.1.xxx.
