VPN/RAS Access other network resources

I have set network for VPN and RAS. At the moment I can access the resources
on the w2003 server with VPN/RAS but I cannot access any of the other
computers on the LAN.

VPN clients go through my Netgear ADSL Modem Firewall Router which forwards
VPN traffic to a W2003 server configured for VPN/RAS. The router acts as as a
DHCP server for the LAN but VPN clients are issued IP addressess by the VPN
server from a static pool.

I have played about with variations of this configuration without success. I
did not quite understand the bit about static routes.

What do I need to do to allow VPN clients access to other computers on the
LAN?

Please help.

assuming you can't ping other remote computer by IPs, posting the results of both vpn client and server ipconfig /all here may help.

Thanks Robert for your reply.

The settings for the client are as follows:

192.168.0.1 is my ADSL Modem Router Firewall. I do not see why the default
gateway should be 192.168.0.109.

The default gateway is set to the "received" IP address because that is
how RAS/VPN works by default. All non-local traffic will be sent to
192.168.0.109 , which is the address of the point-to-point link between
client and server. What that really means is that the default routing for
your client is to the VPN server (which is at the other end of the point to
point link).

What worries me is that you receive a 192.168.0.x address from the VPN
server. Is the remote site also using 192.168.0.0/24 ? If it is, that
explains your problem. For routing to work, the two sites need to be in
different IP subnets. Your client will not send traffic for a 192.168.0.x
across the VPN link, because it is a local address. It will try to deliver
it on your local LAN.
