Can't bind to INTERNAL LAN Subnet

[Guest]

After Configuring VPN on a SBS 2000, no matter what I do, the VPN serer still
dishes out a 169.54.x.x subnet address (netmask 255.255.255.255). I want to
dish out the internal address.

DHCP Relay Agent enabled is correctly, Set to use DHCP for address pool,
binding to INTERNAL NIC... any idea?

If you can't get DHCP to work, use the static address pool. Give the
pool a part of your DHCP scope addresses (I use x.y.z.220-250). You can
reserve that group in the DHCP scope if you are worried about overlap.

Yup Bill, that does the trick...
I don't need the work around in SBS2003. Just cusrious are we looking at a
known issue/limitation?

Thx

Not sure about that. It should work from DHCP in 2000 as well. RRAS
should lease a batch of addresses from DHCP, then hand them out to clients
(just as it does with a static pool). Maybe they tidied things up in 2003 so
it works more smoothly.
