VPN Connection works fine but I cannot see other computers

[aldi]

Hello,

My VPN Connection works fine, but I cannot see other servers on the network to map to their drives, except mapped drives on my VPN server.
I know it is not the settings on the VPN server, because I'm allowing access to the entire network to NetBeui and tcp/ip clients, also another machine can connect to other servers using same credentials; both machines are win98 SE

I tried pinging the VPN server and it responds but the other servers don't.

On the tcp/ip configuration i'm using a static address pool and allowing remote clients to request a predetermined IP Address.

Are these settings the problem? but how come another machine can traverse the network and not this one?
Is the configuration on the client the problem?
Does it matters the order of the protocols on the properties for the tcp/ip on the network applet?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

a few things to check. are the LAN and VPN in the same ip range? if yes, can you ping other computers? also have you enabled ip routing?

Thank you ChicagoTechNet!

Yes, the VPN server is part of the same lan same ip schema 10.0.0.x
The offending client can ping the vpn server but not other computers.
Other clients do ping any computer on the lan.
IP Forwarding is enabled.

I think that the server are Ok since other clients can see other computers and ping them; I guess the problem is the client. What do you think?

Thanks again,
