My company already has VPN tunnels setup through our Sonicwall, our sales people use Sonicwall Global VPN software to connect to our network, as well as our AS/400 servers. We have just setup a Windows XP Pro PC to act as a IIS 6 web server (I know this is not the best OS to do this on but it has to stay). We are able to access the web server from within the network but anyone using the VPN connections outside our network are unable to connect to it. We are supposed to be able to connect to the server by going to the connection (ie. Any idea how to make the Sonicwall allow them access to PC?
 
I have couple of questions for you.
1> Are you using a public ip on the web server?
2> Can the VPN users browse the internet while they are VPNed into the company network?

I'm thinking if your web server is on either the DMZ or outside, and your VPN user's can't split-tunnel that it'd be the problem. Can they get to it when they are not VPNed in?
