Hi All,

I have set my a server to act as a VPN gateway for remote
users. The VPN component works like a charm. The only
problem is (a common one I beleive) is that the users
cannot browse the internet while the VPN is active. I am
happy for these users to do this, as I want them to browse
the net through the corporate connection. What obvious
features have I missed?

I am running win200 AD system. My VPN server assigns
fixed IP addressing. Machines with these IP addresses on
the LAN can browse the net. THE DNS is working correctly
(I can resolve obvious IP addresses like intel.com,
google. com etc).

I simply get timeout issues on my remote browser. To set
up my VPN, I used a MS knowledge base article
 
Sounds like they are not getting a default gateway or not the correct one.
You can run ipconfig /all on one of the vpn clients after they are connected
to the vpn to see what they are using for default gateway while connected to
the vpn. If you are using dhcp, you may need to configure the dhcp relay
agent in rras so that the vpn clients receive it. -- Steve
