The IP address requesting message

Post by timothycop » Mon Jun 24, 2024 4:41 am

Hello,
When I try to connect to any other SoftEther Server that I already installed, from my PC SoftEther Client, I see the authentication screen for a split second and after that the screen that shows me my IP in the VPN, and that is it, VPN works like a charm.

But in this installation, I do not know what I did wrong. When I try to connect to the server authentication passes, "connection successfully" or something like that, and then "Requesting an IP address to the DHCP server in the VPN..." and it is there for like 10 seconds, and then it despairs, like it was canceled or something, but there is no message about what IP I got. When I looked in cmd "ipconfig", my IP was 169.254.232.30, which is not even close to 192.168.1.x that it should have been. And it basically does not let me ping anything in the network of course. I checked both SoftEther Server logs and SoftEther Client logs, and it was clean of any errors.

Can anybody help me with this please? Thanks in advance!

On the server remove a local bridge, if any, and enable SecureNAT with default settings.
