RRAS VPN TCP/IP issues

I built out a RRAS PPTP vpn on a windows 2003 standard server. I can connect fine and access almost all domain resources. I remedied the DNS binding issue via This Article. Since applying, DNS works perfect. The issue is when accessing around half the machines in the enterprise, the DNS resolves the name, but won't make the connection. Even when I cut out the DNS all together and go directly for the IP there is no reply on any protocol.

Has anyone experienced this before? As far as I can tell, anything in the domain is accessible just fine. Most items not in the domain resolve but cannot be reached. Thanks.
 
Scfg new to VPN. I dont understand the issue you were having before. What is this binding order for remote access connections. I have read the article but still dont understand. Do you apply the reg change to the VPN server or the client?
 
The binding article essentially sets which Remote connection's settings take precedence. You do it on the client. So when you launch the VPN, the DNS settings for the VPN are the ones with priority.

Anyhow, the issue I was having before was that many of the machines in my organization when logged into the MS PPTP RRAS VPN are not reachable. Our DNS server will deliver the ip via lookup, but when you try to ping them or access any running service, they are not reachable. These machines are typically Linux machines running websites, services, etc. We do have another Cisco VPN which isn't the most desirable solution, but at least when we're logged into that we can ping all the machines in the organization.
 
The ASA is set up to Relay to our DNS server. I suppose I could try turning off relay, and using the ASA to dish out info, but I'd rather the DHCP all come from one place.

How do I export the config? I don't see any export functions at all in the ASDM interface.
 
Sorry. Posted this to the wrong formu entry :p

Having a problem with one of our cisco ASA's too o_O
