How have you configured RRAS? Was it configured as a VPN server using the
'VPN server" option in the setup wizard?

If so, check your public interface for packet filters. That option
configures the server for VPN ONLY, setting filters to block all other
traffic.

Bill,

That did the trick. BTW, are there any security issues with allowing all
traffic through the router?

Thanks,

There is always some risk when you connect anything to the Internet. If
it is a direct connection to the Internet (ie not behind a firewall), you
should consider blocking everything you don't really need.
