Having Trouble Configuring machines on multiple Subnets

Post by Doobis »

I am trying to configure several windows servers to talk to each other using routing and remote access. Not sure if im doing something wrong on the windows side or if I have an incorrect config in virtual box.

using an address pool
172.168.1.0/26

Server 1 for example is 172.168.1.1
Server 2 is 172.168.1.66

Server 3 is using Routing and remote access. Has 2 internal nics. Both server 1 and 2 point to server 3 as a default gateway.

I have no idea how to get these to talk to each other. Cant figure out why they cant ping each other. Not sure if im doing something wrong in virtual box or in RRA.

First let's take a look at the network settings in the VMs.

Right-click each VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. Copy the VM's .vbox file (not the .vbox-prev file) to the desktop (Configure your host OS to show all extensions if the folder that opens does not show a .vbox file). Zip all the .vbox files and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

So Crazy event happened. I swapped the IP addresses on the server with the routing and remote access installed. That shouldnt of done anything at all but the some how made it work. Im able to ping internally across to several but not all devices. I dont think the remaining that arent working have a virtual box configuration issue. I think im good now.
