Hi all,
I have a win2k server configured as pptp vpn.
Everything is working fine. But the users behind the vpn server cannot
access the external LAN. I wan to provide then access to the external
LAN.

Here is what I want to do.
user ---->vpn server----->external LAN.

I need help for this.

First of all, what do you mean by "External LAN"? Are you referring to the
Internet?

How is your VPN configured? Are you using RRAS? Are you assuming that this
provides access out as well as access in? Has this ever worked for you in
the past?

Yes, I mean Internet.
My vpn is configured using RRAS wizard. Yes, I am using RRAS. I just
want to provide access to my internal users. Not inbound access. I have
alrady install NAT there. But it is not working.
Is it possible to configure NAT and vpn in a same box running win2k
server?

I am not sure exactly what you mean but if you want them to be able to
access the internet through the VPN connection configure their VPN
connectoid to use the default gateway of your network when connected via
VPN. Look under properties/networking/tcp ip/properties/advanced - use
default gateway on remote network. If still having problems use the ping and
tracert utilities using IP address and name of remote destination to check
for availability and to find the bottleneck [tracert]. --- Steve
 
What I want is to provide VPN and NAT service in a same windows 2k
server box.
Any one has any information about that.

OK. You probably can do that by configuring NAT and then disabling packet
filtering on the external network adapter that is usually configured
automatically when you configure VPN via Remote Access Management Console.
Open it and go to IP routing/general, find your network adapter, check
properties inbound and outbound filters. You can remove those entries so
that it is configured to receive/send all packets except those listed below.
