XP Pro VPN IP Issue

[Guest]

I am using MS VPN Server on an XP Pro Node that is set to use DHCP Server to
assign Incomming Connection IPs. The server does get an IP from the DHCP for
the server software but when a MS VPN Client on another XP Pro box connects,
it gets the same address as the server and of course that messes up the
routing. If I keep disconnecting and reconnecting, sometimes I will get a
different IP and all is well. can anyone help with this?

in this case, I would use Specify TCP/IP address.

Yes That works but any Idea On Why Automatic DHCP Assignment fails? A
Linksys router is providing the DHCP Function.
