Windows 2000 Pro as Gateway

[Frisbee]

I have a small office with the following setup.
We connect to a static IP DSL connetion through a Wireless Dlink router.

The Dlink is set up as a DHCP server there are both wired and wireless
PC on the network. I have a wired 2000 Pro machine that I am trying to
set up as a Gateway for VPN. The home office wants me to use only one
VPN connection for everyone. So I am trying to set up the 2000 Pro
machine as the gateway. What I want to do is start the VPN on the
"gateway" machine and then let everyone else connect to the VPN using
it. I have assigned it a static IP and manually entered DNS. It has the
DLINK set as it's gateway

Dlink -
LAN IP 192.168.1.50
LAN SM 255.255.255.0

2000 Pro "Gateway"
IP 192.168.1.100
SM 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.1.50
DNS manually entered

Other machines set with Static IP's
IP 192.168.1.xxx
SM 255.255.255.0
GW 192.168.1.100
DNS Manually entered

The gateway machine browses the internet with no problem, but none of
the other machines can connect to the internet.

Also the gateway machine connects to the VPN OK and can still browse the
internet after connected but none of the other machines can access the VPN.

I had it working at one time but for some reason that I can't figure out
it broke.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Well I turned out tne Routing and Remote Access service and did a
registry hack I found at Http://howtonetworking.com.
Now the other computers can browse the internet using the gateway PC,
but they still cannot use the VPN connection on the gateway.

I am running only one VPN session on the gateway machine. I just want
the others to use be able to route through it to the remote network.

Why will the PC route internet traffic but not VPN traffic?

Thanks
