As I understand VPN and NAT (it) are different things.We use vpnc from linux to
some other network. It is different. My client gets IP from that foreign
netowrk and works like being hardwired into another network. That is VPN. No
NAT forwarding needed.
Here, my home PC gets connetcted to office
Indeed. Client is connected via VPN, so web browser shows IP of the gateway
instead of the client.
client IP: 192.168.55.1
browser (web client) IP: 192.168.0.225 (vpn server).

What kind of VPN does that? If

Obviously it is both. For outgoing calls from client, packets get wrapped (web
client IP), for incoming packets it works as a part of another network
192.168.55. Go figure. :) Seems that this IP forwarding is one layer to many.

what is it? Both of what?
Network administration can be quite complicated and is beyond the scope of
this *mailing list*. From what I remember from this poor imitation
The easy way is to name the host (in BackupPC) with the IP Address.
Otherwise, use the ClientNameAlias.

I am not sure I understand this but it doesn't work in my configuration. Server
is on network 192.168.0
while client has IP 192.168.55.1.
I don't see a way to configure this IP into bakupPC.
When run from browser with dhcp set, backupPC finds wrong IP, that is the
gateway IP: 192.168.0.225
But, then, if I set IP as a hostname, smbclient fails. Command
/usr/bin/smbclient 192.168.55.1\\C -U zdravko -E -d 1
says
session request to 192.168.55.1 failed (Called name not present)
But even if it worked, another PC at this IP (as it is dhcp) would overwrite
backup.
huh! It seems to be
Finally!
It started once I've put IP into ClientNameAlias and I hardcoded the smbclient
command.
At least.
Thanks for your help.

For my VPN clients that need backups, I assign a static address to the VPN
endpoint. Then I use this as a ClientNameAlias and also bypass DNS lookups
with the NmblookupFindHostCommand.
If your client is NAT'ed behind the gateway, then you'll have to expose it
to BackupPC somehow. But whether
Yes. It can find dhcp laptop on its own. Only when backup is requested manualy
it does nothing.
Actually, I would like to allow manual backups only, since I don't want backup
to start any time user connects his laptop, specially not full backups.
Another thing is on VPN. It finds gateway IP
Can the BackupPC server resolve an IP address for the client? Can you
manually run the $nmblookup commands for that specific client, and verify
that it is correct?

Hi,
button start full backup says Reply from server was ok: requested backup...,
but does nothing. No entries in log files. I am trying to backup a laptop on
dhcp settings. Of course it goes to sleep before backupPC awakes, so I try to
start backup manually. Nothing happens and I don't know
