    There are LOTS of VPN configuration articles at http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/techinfo/guidance/2004/vpn.asp and
    www.isaserver.org.
    You could go blind reading them all...

Jim,
Thanks for your response. I was able to remote into my computer last night.
When I ran ipconfig, the subnet mask was 255.255.255.255 and the default
gateway was same as the dynamic IP I was assigned.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying these settings are correct.
Obviously my connection problem was caused by something else. Where can I
educate myself about these settings as I don't understand why I get these
settings. I thought once I VPN into the network, I'd get all of my settings
from the DHCP server.
Thanks,
Sam
