Good Afternoon,

I have someone connecting to my 2003 server via their broadband connection. This works fine, they can login and view all of the files on the server. The problem is, once they are connected to the VPN - they can no longer use the internet on their machine.

Is there a way round this?

Perhaps they would need to use the internet from the network that the server is on? If so, is this possible with the setup I have? I have a windows 2003 machine which is basically a big file server. My router acts as the DHCP server to all the machines on the network with the server. The server allocates the IP address to the user logging in via the VPN in the static address part (As there is no dhcp on the server).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
 
I think: Go into the properties of the client's VPN connection. Click on Networking,click Internet Protocol (tcp/ip), click Properties, click on Advanced, check "use default gateway on remote network". Click OK OK OK.
 
That done the trick brilliantly - I unchecked the use default gateway option.

Thanks a million.
