Dough,
You disabled the second NIC
Which one is enabled now ? The external Nic ?
If so, you will have to enable the internet Nic as well, otherwise you won't be able to access your internal clients
also make sure your VPN server is routing (IP forwarding) otherwise the incoming traffic will not route through your server
On the clients side : do they all have the gateway set (-> internal NIC of the server) ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Peter here's help I just got my VPN working smooth as a baby's botttom (untill the electrical storm last night) and in my travels I learned that you need both nic's enabled but the internal nic should not have a default gateway set! (this will force all you packets inward to go to your LAN and not back out to the internet before they make it to their destination(s) on the LAN)
The external NIC has to have a default gateway of either your router to the internet, if you have one, or the router (gateway) of your ISP.
Correct me if I am wrong Pete but that's how ours is working right now.

that is correct... never add a gateway address on the internal NIC of your VPN server ---------------------------------------------------------------------
