I have RAS setup for VPN into my Server 2003 box. For some reason when people
(at least two but maybe all of them I havn't checked) connect from home to my
server via VPN there internet connection on there PC drops and seems to route
there connection through my connection.

So they can use the internet but it seems to be over the VPN and out through
my network onto the internet!!

Have I set RAS up incorrectly or is this a setting they need to change?

Thanks for any help?
 
yes, this is routing issue. quoted form http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Can't access the Internet while using VPN

Symptom: after establishing a VPN connection, you may not be able to access the Internet because the VPN takes over your existing connection and all traffic to use the VPN default gateway on the remote network. The remote network may not allow VPN clients to access the Internet via their gateway.

Resolutions:
1) If you don't need to access the entire VPN resources, disable the "use default gateway on remote network" option in the properties of the VPN connection.
2) Edit route table manually if you know how to or check routing page on this web site.
3) For the security reason, some firewall/routers like Cisco PIX do not allow access the Internet after establishing the VPN and you cannot modify the routing table. You may setup split-tunnel.
