can only ping vpn server

Post by marcmoennikes » Sun Dec 21, 2014 2:52 pm

Hello,

i am new to soft ehther.
I have installed soft ether server on windows 2008R2 (hyper-v guest).
soft ether server has one NIC.
Created hub and user for testing.
I have installed soft ether client on my windows client.
I can connect with the client to the server.
i can also reach the soft ether server (pin, rdp and so on).
but i can not reach any other server/device in the subnet.

I also want to connect other devices which are in different subnets, "behind" the soft ether server.

Soft ether server IP : 192.168.1.13/24
IP (manually configured "softether LAN connection): 192.168.1.20/24
i have configured default GW IP at "softether LAN Connection" : 192.168.1.1 (this gateway has to be used to reach other private subnets).

i can only reach the 192.168.1.13 (server ip).

Maybe somebody has an idea?
Where can i begin to troubleshoot?
Do i need an additional NIC on server side?

Regards

Marc

Install the SoftEther server on a real computer with real ethernet interfaces for initial testing. Many virtualization environments do not bridge virtual interfaces in the way that you might expect or the way that SoftEther requires.

Hyper-V does not do promiscuous mode correctly, you can only see some traffic if you do some powershell magic.
