Hello,
Okay this might sound rudimentary, but I'm in need of some help here configuring my server. I am fairly new to Server 2012 R2 and I've only recently started studying for my MCSA due to my new job. Listed below is the hardware i currently use for my lab and the issues I've been having.
Current hardware setup:
So first off I have an ISP modem/router right now that hands out a 10.0.0.x IP address. Then I have a linksys router that I'm using and it hands out a 192.168.1.x IP address. Then I have a netgear 8 port switch. (Only Switch i had on hand)
I have an Ethernet cable running from port 1 on the ISP modem to the Internet port on the router. Then I have an Ethernet cable running from port 1 on the router to port 1 on the switch. Then on port 2 on the switch I have an Ethernet cable going to the Windows server.
So when I go to build the server I turn off DHCP on the router and leave it with the static 192.168.1.1 IP address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 Then I setup the DHCP server and DNS server with the address scheme of 192.168.1.2
Also I have statically map my servers NIC to the following.
IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.2
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Services Currently Installed on the Server
Active Directory- Working
DHCP- Working-
Scope: 192.168.1.40 - 192.168.1.75
Router: 192.168.1.1
[*]DNS- Working
[*]RAS- Not working
Current RAS Configuration: I configured it for VPN Access only to test if someone can access docs, software, etc. outside the network. i have the DHCP automatically handing out the DHCP to the clients instead of having an address pool. i have also allowed access for the VPN in AD and I'm using PPTP.
-I have port forwarding on the router setup for PPTP: 1723 and i have enabled VPN Passthrough.
-on the client side i have configured the vpn connection going to the server "192.168.1.2" and i entered the correct domain credentials, but it wont connect to the network.
Currently im stuck at this point and i've watched every video under the sun on how to configure Remote access with 1 NIC and i still cant get the remote access to work.
