My local lan uses static ip's. The local server will only allow access from the local lan and a specific lan outside the local one. Example: The local lan is on 10.115.232.0/24. If I VPN to it using my laptop with dhcp from a remote location, I cannot connect to the server. If I set up a router at the remote location and configure my laptop with a static ip on network 10.115.231.0/24 I can then access anything on the local lan from the remote lan. This is ok when I'm at a wired internet location...except...I sometimes stay at hotels that offer wireless only internet connection. I need to be able to set up my laptop at these locations to recieve the free internet and have my laptop set to the proper network to allow access. Can anyone offer a suggestion? I can't think of an equipment or software solution.
