You don't say what client you're using, so here goes my best guesses:
1. You have to allow IP routing in RRAS IP properties to use resources other
than those provided by the RRAS server itself.
2. W9x , WME, XP Home clients can't connect "as", so the default user may
not have rights, regardless of the VPN credentials.
3. If you're trying to connect or map via names and don't have WINS (for
W9x, ME) or DNS (W2K, XP pro) for name resolution, it'll fail.
4. The 32-bit mask and default gateway is correct for VPN clients; the
routing is handled by RRAS.  This is also the reason you can't resolve
machine names via NetBIOS broadcast; your subnet is limited to the local
machine, so you can only broadcast to yourself.

Subject: [isalist] VPN issues...


http://www.ISAserver.org


I have my vpn setup with a single internal subnet (same as the internal
nic on isa).

I am having problems mapping to file shares and getting back out to the
internet.

I do not have wins running and am trying to connect via \\10.0.0.20\c$
or \\servername.mydomain.com\c$ to no avail.

I can hit my internal website from the client though. I notcie on my vpn
ppp/slip interface it says I have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. Is
that correct? It also has the clients own ip (that it got from dhcp) as
the default gateway.

Any ideas are appreciated. I'd rather not use wins if I don't have to.
