Limited Internal Access Via PPTP (VPN)

Good day.

Since upgrading to SBS 2003 from SBS 2000, we are seeing
limited access to internal resources when connected via
PPTP. In particular, we cann connect to a printer or send
a print job, or access anything via HTTP (server or
otherwise). Can anyone advise as to the setting shtat may
be invoked with SBS 2003 (RRAS, ISA, etc.) that may
possible be limited such access?

Any response or assistance is welcomed and appreciated in
advance.

Paul,

From what you wrote I am assuming that you are talking
about accessing the network via VPN connection when you
say PPTP. In any case what I have found is that if you
are accessing a network from a remote location via VPN
the default settings for VPN enable the gateway for that
connection. So if you are connected to your remote
network you would have two default gateways. This seems
to cause havok on most operating systems because they
don't know what route to take. I found two solutions for
myself.

1.) disable the "Use remote default gateway" on your VPN
connection
2.) Sometimes if you are using ISA you can enable the
firewall client for your remote network and the proxy
server for the IE and may work
