VPN and SP2 issue

I am running a Win2k3 vpn server for over a year with no problems. The VPN
server is multi-homed and on the trusted side it is on our corporate
segment. We also have a number of segments in our data center that are
accessible via the corporate segement. A non-SP2 windows XP client that
connects to the VPN server is able to access everything in the data center
as well. A SP2 Windows XP client can only access the corporate segement.
attempts to access the data center time out. The client used to get a
default route set for the VPN connection. That does not appear to be
happening anymore, which keeps the client from knowing how to route to any
other segment.

Hi Matt. I am having the exact same issue. My temporary
solution was to have the clients enter a ROUTE ADD
command. I don't know what Microsoft changed in SP2 but it
used to work great in Windows 2000 and XP SP1. If you come
up with a permanent solution please post it here. Thanks.

I took Bill's advice and have posted this to PSS. I have been using the
route add workaround for now. I will post any fix I get.
 
I too am having this very issue. We've been successfully connecting remote
clients for over a year and now XP SP2 users can connect but not see any
subnets other than the subnet of their vpn connection. Immediately after a
connection I can do a route print and see the route I've configured on the
RRAS server. I can even start to ping remote subnets, but after about six
replies it dies and then the route is no longer in the list. I've created
this batch file to lookup the interface number and then add the route. It
works but I don't like this solution becuase it's just a hack. We need a
fix!

for /f "tokens=1,2" %%i in ('route print^|find "WAN"') do route add 10.0.0.0
mask 255.0.0.0 10.1.11.1 metric 1 IF %%i

Anyone who gets a solution please post it.

Thanks Jeff
 
Is this a PPTP or a L2TP-based VPN?

We are using PPTP. I can attempt this using L2TP and see if I get the same
result. I'm out of town this week but will attempt it when I get back.
 
I get the same result using L2TP.
