2960 and Remote Worker VPN was created by orderwise
I'm trying to configure my 2960 so that a remote worker can dial in, and access the network as if they were here.

I had this working fine on our old 2955. Users could open the Draytek Smart VPN Client, click connect, and they'd have access to servers and their mapped drives. This was using PPTP.

I've tried setting the same up on the 2960, however I cannot access the DNS on the network.

The 2960 is acting as DHCP. When the user connects, they are assigned an IP in the correct range, however the network mask gets set to 255.255.255.255, and the DNS gets set to whatever is set to the DNS in our WAN1 profile, and not the DNS set in the LAN profile.

This is using PPTP with local user authentication. I've tried all authentication methods, and all encryption methods, all result in the same thing.

When connected to the VPN, I can ping the IPs, but cannot resolve the name. I can however browse the internet.

I'm guessing nobody has any ideas on this one?

This seems to be the same problem as the below thread:

However I cannot find the option to force the DNS server.
