Win2k client dials into a RRAS and gets an address e.g.
IP: 192.168.0.23 ( From a static pool)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
DNS: x.x.x.x ( From the DNS server)

Now the router has an IP 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

How do I route the win2k client to the router considering that they have different subnet masks?
 
Why don't you change the subnet mask assigned to 255.255.255.0? It shouldn't be 255.255.255.255, that would make it impossible for that machine to communicate with any other via that interface...
 
Not possible to change it. Win2k clients gets a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 when it dials into RRAS.
