    VPN Connects But No Network Access

    So, long story short for anyone searching for information on connecting Android devices via stock VPN app to their Dlink DIR-880L (and other routers with similar setups) via L2TP/IPSEC : - 192.168.0.x (LAN) and 192.168.100.x (VPN) subnets are connected by default. Not sure if that means they...

    VPN Connects But No Network Access

    System thanks for the help. How exactly could I do this? The 880 does static routes for WAN only (is that sufficient)? Not sure if the 880 has rules I can setup either. Dlink really cleaned up their management interface (ie removed a lot of options). I'm thinking DD-WRT will have to be flashed...

    VPN Connects But No Network Access

    @System thank you for your help, I genuinely appreciate it. I have FXViewer (and ES File Explorer) pointed to my home server at ip 192.168.0.100/Documents with credentials saved. The same profiles work flawlessly when connected via wifi but still not over vpn. Here's a question: Is it necessary...

    VPN Connects But No Network Access

    Just an update. I was not able to access anything on the network over VPN before but it appears RDP and other things apps with Web interfaces are working. Still cannot access LAN shares using programs like FXViewer (file manager). /frustrated

    VPN Connects But No Network Access

    lydnsn, I see the same behavior with the Dlink DIR-880L. Using a GS5 with Android's built in VPN client I can connect fine to the router's L2TP/IPSEC PSK setup, but cannot ping or access any of the computers via IP address in the LAN. I can however connect to the internet while tunneling. My ip...

    Tiny Router/NAS Box with Atom D2700/D2550

    That canned answer from Intel, wow :eek:. I "refreshed" Win 8 earlier this week due to a fudged Intel installer (the 6235 bluetooth driver!). Took a hatchet to the registry and broke a few things, so I'm glad that option was available :) Before that I did notice that the wireless adapter would...

    Tiny Router/NAS Box with Atom D2700/D2550

    So I decided not to go with routing in this build. VMWare ESXi 5.1 with PFSense + FreeNAS work well, but so does Windows 8 Pro with the same add-ons as Synology NAS's. The DIR-825 router (Rev B1) I have running at 600 mbps runs at 5.3W with all firewall features enabled, so running PFSense isn't...

    Tiny Router/NAS Box with Atom D2700/D2550

    D'oh! Looks like I missed an excellent article earlier this year on SNB about building a low power atom server. The author (Scott) was able to achieve 96 MB/s network writes with the Atom D525 in addition to having the server run other duties. With a 13W TDP the atom surely fits the bill for low...

    Tiny Router/NAS Box with Atom D2700/D2550

    Tiny Router/NAS Box with Atom or Core i3/i5?? Hi everyone, I have been combing over SNB forums and the greater internet for a while for information on building a small and efficient router + NAS combo box. The idea came while I was searching for a NAS with decent network write performance. I...
