Can not access network resources through VPN

I set up VPN which I can connect without problem, but I can not access the
network resources and shared folders (domain). It seems that I can't pass
behind VPN server.
Help please.
Thank you

Can you ping LAN machines by IP? If you can, your problem is name
resolution. Can you ping by FQDN?

No. I can't ping local machines. Somehow my virtual network adaptor recieves
different subnet (255.255.255.255) instead of 255.255.255.0. So I am not in
the same subnet as my network.
Thank you.

That probably has nothing to do with your problem. VPN is a point to
point connection. It doesn't work the same way as a LAN connection. For
details see KB 254231 .

Does your client machine receive an IP address in the same IP subnet as
the LAN machines (ignore the netmask)? If it does, you should be able to
ping a LAN machine from the client using its IP address. The server does
proxy ARP on the LAN for the remote, so that the client "appears" to be just
another LAN machine.

Is the LAN a switched network? Some switches don't do proxy ARP the same
way as a hub. If that is your problem, your best bet is to put the remotes
in their own subnet (using the static address pool in RRAS) and enable IP
routing on the server. You will also need to make sure that the "remote"
subnet is correctly routed to the RRAS server (if it is not the default
gateway for the LAN).
