Windows 2003 - Internet sharing over VPN

[Clipse]

Hi there

I need help with configuring the following on windows 2003.

I need to setup a windows 2003 vpn server that allows incoming vpn clients to be able to browse/access the internet via the VPN server internet connection.

The VPN server is running on a ADSL connecting with dynamic ip and Im using either the built in pppoe drivers or raspppoe.

Could anyone please help me as I have gotten clients to connect to the VPN server but just find it impossible to get them to actually utilise the bandwidth from the VPN server to the internet.

Need help urgently.

Regards

Steven, I had to add a route to my VPN server to tell it where to send
the packets from my remote access clients out to the Internet. So, at
a command prompt, you'd type: route add -p 131.123.10.1 mask
255.255.255.0 gateway 10.1.1.1


The first IP address should be an external IP address that a remote
access client could have received, whether it's from your remote
access equipment or an external ISP. Have the address end in 0 if you
want to cover the entire range. The mask is pretty obvious and the
gateway is the address of the NIC that's connected to the Internet (a
firewall NIC, if you are using one, or the NIC of the VPN server if
it's directly connected to the Internet). The -p variable is needed
to make sure the route stays in the table if the server is rebooted.


Hope this helps.

Also (and if all else fails),verify that your VPN TCPIP properties have a properly configured DNS and Default Gateway like they should if there were on the internal network of the VPN servers subnet.

Check also the IE settings on the client, verify they are set up with the correct (or blank) proxy information as appropriate/needed on the VPN servers internal network.

Thanks for reply

just to things to note, the vpn server runs on adsl connection from the built in broadband connection(which is pretty similar concept to raspppoe)

I will require clients to access everything to the internet (browsing,ping,gaming(would require some port forwarding I suspect) etc.)

setup atm is as follow:

1 nic connected to router = I connect to internet from windows 2003 and not dialing from router.

2 nic connected to lan = just to monitor the server etc remotely (vnc etc.) on the lan.

Importance atm is just the first nic connected to the internet, I need that nic which receive the vpn client connections to actually send all internet related traffic (web etc.) from the client to the internet and then from internet back to client.

ps. where would I configure this, just to make 100% sure?
