2'nd Post : Use Default Gateway on Remote computer

[aaaa]

Here is some findings:

If I choose that option, then the gateway address seems to be what ever IP
address I get from my DHCP server for PPP interface. Like after dialing in ,
the PPP interface gets the IP from DHCP server. That is fine. It got the
right IP, but at the same time gateway address is the same as that PPP
adapter interface ???? It should be my RAS server address. ?

---------------------------------------------------

When I choose this option, I cannot browse the internet which is going thru
my local lan.
Is this normal ?

I need to choose "use default gateway on remote computers" and also at the
same time, my internet browsing should go from my local lan....

any idea ?

The client does not get its IP from DHCP. The RRAS server leases IPs from
DHCP and hands these out to clients as required, as part of the PPP/PPTP
connection process.

The default gateway setting of the client is the "received" IP address.
This means that the client's default gateway is the point-to-point lik to
the server.

What happens when you change the "Use default gateway .. " setting is
explained in MS KB 254231.

Hi,

Yes this is normal, the default gateway on a PPP client is its own PPP
adapter address.

What you are trying to do is configure "split tunneling" which is not
support or recommended. To
accomplish this you need to configure the VPN server to allow the clients
to request a specific IP address (see 250881 Unable to Configure "Allow
Calling Computer to Specify its own IP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=250881). Then disable "Use default gateway
on remote network" on the VPN connectoid. Now because you have no routes to
the VPN network, add routes for the remote subnets that you need to gain
access to. For example, if the network to which you make the VPN connection
is on the 10.0.0.X network, add a route to this subnet going over the VPN.
