VPN Route Help

I have setup RRAS on a 2003 server.
Remote clients are using VPN and DSL to access local office network.
Remote clients have a 10.x.x.x static IP.
Local network uses 10.x.x.x static Ip's.
RRAS is setup to issue a 10.x.x.x IP on connection.
Route is (dest)10.x.x.x (mask)255.x.x.x (gw)10.x.x.90 [is my DC NIC]

Issue:
This setup did not work. VPN allowed connection but could not see anything
on local network. I changed remote clients to a 192.x.x.x static IP. This
worked allowing remote clients to access anything on network.

My question is how can I setup a route so my remote clients can keep the
10.x.x.x static IP's and still have full access to anything on network.

You can't - the remote subnet and the local subnet must be different. If
they are not, then remote machines will not look to their routing tables to
find a path to the 'other' subnet. You could, however, use static IP
addresses and change the subnet masks. eg. make one network 10.0.x.x and
the other 10.1.x.x.
