Are you trying to establish a link between the routers so that the two
sites can route from one to the other? This is a very different situation
from establishing a simple connection from one machine to a RRAS server.
There is quite a bit of info in the server help files about site to site
VPN links. The essential difference between site to site and a normal
client-server connection is the routing. A client-server connection only
gives you a host route from server to client. To get the two sites to route
through the link, you need demand-dial interfaces on both routers, and you
need routes linked to these interfaces to route the traffic from one site to
the other through the VPN link.
