I will be setting up PPTP on a server soon and do not want to run into a problem I have heard and seen happen on Windows 2003 servers with PPTP installed. The problem is, once installed, pinging the server responds with two IP's, one that belongs to the server and one bound to the PPTP adapter. How can this be avoided as in my case I have remote users connecting across a T1 using RDP connecting to the server name. I know I can change that to an IP, but I'd rather not.

Thanks

Probably by unchecking Register this connections address in DNS checkbox in PPTP connections TCP/IP properties -> Advanced -> DNS tab...
