You're just missing one setting on the clients
configuration.

Right click My Network Places & right click for Properties
Select the VPN connection & right click for Properties
Click the Network tab
Select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) & Properties
Click Advanced
Deselect 'Use default gateway on remote network'

This should take care of things for you.

Allocate a pool of addresses for your server to use for remote access.
The 169.254 (APIPA) addresses are used if no pool or DHCP is available.
169.254 addresses do not receive a default gateway, so routing is very
dicey!
