vpn configuration question

Hi all, our users remotely connect to our network using the built-in VPN
capability in Server 2003. I was reading somewhere that it is possible to
tunnel all IP traffic originating from the client through the VPN. This is
done as a security measure to prevent dual homed networks and some outside
network accessing our corporate network. How can I set this up on the
server? I noticed there is a checkbox under advanced options in the VPN
dialer in Windows XP which says "Use default gateway on remote network". But
clients can toggle that checkbox. Any ideas?

TIA!

You are looking in the right place. The default situation is to send all
traffic through the tunnel. If you clear the "use default gateway.." box,
this changes. The default route to the Internet remains active and only a
subnet route is set up for the tunnel traffic. See KB 254231 for details.

How you prevent clients from changing settings in the connection
properties is quite a problem.If you have a lot of remote clients you could
look at CMAK (Connection Mananger Admin Kit).
