[c-nsp] Cisco 1700 as a vpn server

[Timothy Arnold]

Hi,

The specific problem is that the client's ethernet connection has
10.0.51.x address and is obtaining another 10.x address with a different
subnet mask - I thought this might be the cause of why I cannot ping
anything on the 10.x address?

Thanks
Tim.
