VPN Security problem

Have set up a Windows 2000 server to act as a VPN server in our Windows NT domain. Everything works fine, I can connect and browse the network but there's no security.

Folders that have restricted access to only administrators can be accessed by any VPN-user.

For instance, I created a test account, put him in the Domain Guest group and gave him Dial-In access (I did this on my Windows NT server since I cannot create domain accounts on the Windows 2000 server).

When I log on with the test account on my domain (the usual way, not via VPN) I have very restricted access, can't hardly access any folders.

When I connect with the test account via VPN I suddenly can access any folders on the network.

Does anyone know how to work this out? Is it because the Windows 2000 server doesn't have access to User Manager for Domains. Active Directory is not started.
