Problem accessing 192.168.

Hello!

At work I have to use a VPN and a proxy. Recently I can't access local addresses that starts with 192.168.... I can access anything from outside or from the vpn network but not local ip's. If I ping a local IP it give's me a Request timed out, although my colleagues have no problem in accessing them.

I did an ipconfig /all and for me it looks fine!

Can you please give me an idea about what could be the problem? If you need a dump of my ipconfig I will provide it.
Also, I'm using Windows 7, if it can help you in some way.

Thank you!
 
Did they disable split tunnelling for your connection? Sounds like it to me and standard practice anyway.
 
Definitely sounds like a split tunneling issue. Right now it's set to send ALL traffic through the VPN, so those connections to 192.168.x.x would be attempting to connect to that IP on the VPN network, not the local network. Split tunneling separates the traffic so that only requests made specifically to things on the VPN network are sent over the VPN and everything else goes out over your normal non-VPN connection.

In a corporate setting split tunneling is absolutely a per-user setting. At an old job I had the same issue for months while my co-workers did not, it took almost six months of bitching at IT Security for them to switch it back so I could actually access my email and the internet at the same time to do my job :/

Thanky for your support. I don't think it it's a splitt tunneling because I can access google.com and other websites without vpn, only with proxy enabled. The thing wast that my firewall did something to my tunnel adapter, so that when openvn tried to insert a route for 192.168... (which I missed before coming to this forum)failed. I was inspired to disable the firewall(although nothing indicated that he's the source to all of my problems 🙂 so everything got back to normal.
