Here is my config:

I have a Win 2000 server running for the only purpose to
handle vpn connections. The server has 2 NIC's,
one "external" which has its ip address translated in the
firewall's NAT into a public address and another
one "internal" with no translation. I have no problems
connecting to the vpn from outside, the vpn tunnel is
created and the client is authenticated. The client
receives its ip address from the ras server(altough the
subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255). After connecting,
the client cannot ping the internal addresses, cannot go
out on the internet and cannot see the network in my
network places.

Can somebody help me with this?

Thank you.

To enable the VPN client to get to the Internet via NAT on the same
server, you must run the following from a command prompt on the server.

netsh routing ip nat add interface internal private

This allows the remote client to access NAT for Internet connection.

The subnet mask you see is not your problem. It is probably a name
resolution problem. Can you ping a LAN machine by its IP address? If you
can, your routing in working correctly.
 
Thanks Bill. But I don't have NAT on this server. The NAT
is performed in the firewall.
