VPN Client can't ping beyond VPN server

Hi all

My VPN client (XP Pro). Our VPN server is Windows 2003 SMB server. After a
VPN session is established, we are able ping the VPN server, but can't ping
any other machines on the same local subnet as the server. BTW, the server
also has NAT enabled.

Thanks.

Have you enabled the IP routing on the VPN server? Or this search result may help,

Thanks, Bob. It seems to me now the cause of the problem is the VPN+NAT server. The only way is to decouple them, i.e. One server for NAT and another server for VPN.
