Your posting is not very clear.
From what I understood your VPN works but no more internet.

I am not familiar with Arch OS. Is it RH or debian clone? Does it use a linux kernel at all?

were you using Nat and Masquerade to access the internet?

Linux VPN setup normally do not work unless you disable your masquerade. Is that the case?

if that is not the case, send more information.

It is using the 2.6.20 kernel, i have not installed masquerade no. Basically i'm on an arch server 1 NIC, using poptop and ppp to accomplish my connection, so far i have come to a point where i can connect to the server and that is as far as it goes. I have no internet through my vpn and can't even access the LAN.

how are you trying to access the INternet? Have you got a router on one of the VPN sites that you want to use for the whole network?

VPN's job is to take you from site A to Site B making sure that you cut out the rest of the Internet.

If one of the sites has an Internet gateway, then that is your access to the Internet. Make sure that that is visible from all subnets, insuring re-routing if necessary, and configure clients that need Internet access accordingly.

I have a router for the whole network, it functions as my gateway aswell and only contains 1 subnet, which all of my computers are on.

I am well aware that it is only supposed to take you from a to b, but now i can't even see my network anymore
