DHCP on Main Lan

Post by stuffedhaggis » Tue Feb 24, 2015 6:27 pm

Hi all

I want to say first off. Softether is a great product. Makes life very easy.

So story so far > I have a Small HP Gen 8 Server Running ESXi 5.5. One VM running Win 7 just now with one NIC. Softether installed on is installed on this VM.

I can connect and fine via SE Client and Open VPn there is no pass-through though. I have enabled SecureNAT and Secure DHCP and everything remote works great. Secure DHCP issues IP in the range of 192.168.30.1 +. My Lan nodes i.e Wife’s Laptop, Xbox ect keep getting DHCP addys from the .30.* range.
This stop things working smoothly for me and I need to then issue static address to these nodes to get back on to my main IP range 192.168.1.*. Is there a way to get softether just to use my main router for DHCP? Or a better Solution?

Add local tap bridge to your hub and in SecureNat uncheck "virtual nat function" and "virtual DHCP server function"

Please turn on promiscuous mode on the VMware.
Disable SecureNAT.
And, create a localbridge.
