I get in remotely, but cant see the network. I lose all
internet browsing. cant see anyone else on the network.
from the 2000 server, I see that i am in, but cant see the
remote on the network. I get an IP address but it seems
the subnet gets changed. I know I am doing something
stupid...please help if you can.
 
It is usually easiest to assign the RAS client an IP from the same subnet
as the LAN, check your static pool or DHCP
For reliable browsing, RAS clients need to obtain the address of a WINS
Server. The RAS clients are assigned the WINS server address of the RAS
server. See:
160699 Understanding DHCP IP Address Assignment for RAS Clients
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=160699
The VPN client defaults to "use default gateway on remote network",
configurable on the advanced TCP/IP setting of the VPN client. This
effectively routes all traffic over the VPN connection.

I do give it the same IP, but for some reason,
the "Internal" becomes the server giving out the IP
address and it puts it on a 255.255.255.255 subnet when
mine is the typical 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 I have no
idea what to do. I and using a Linksys Router as my DHCP,
do I need to maybe make the server also the DHCP server
for ease? I did change one of the settings in static
routes and made it route to a 255.255.255.255 subnet and
now I get my browser back, but still nothing in cmd: net
view except for myself.

Do I need 2 NIC's?
 
for proper routing, the network you are dialing in from must be on a
different subnet then the
one you are dialing into. Below are some examples

Ex of Improper config, and what you probibly have:
Local Desktop 192.168.1.38
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1 (VPN overrides when connected and points
to 192.168.1.254)

Remote Server 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254

^-- this will not work because the routing tables can not properly determine
if the traffic is local,
or remote(through the VPN tunnel)


Ex of Proper Config:
Local Desktop 192.168.5.38
255.255.255.0
192.168.5.1

Remote Server 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254

^-- With this config, your desktop(client) machine will be able to determine
which network to pass
traffic to, while still using your local connection for internet access.


Ex of working, but improper config (for most cases, this will be needed in
certian cases)
With this you will connect remotly, but internet access will be very slow.
(ie. VPN session
is using default gateway on remote network, tcp properties -> advanced)
Local Desktop 192.168.5.38
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254 (note, this will still say 192.168.5.1
in your LAN settings, the
VPN session settings will override this when connected)

Remote Server 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254
