On the RAS connectoid check to see if "Use default gateway" check box is
selected

  1.. In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, right click the
connectoid for the VPN or RAS connection and click Properties.
  2.. In the Properties dialog box, click the Networking tab.
  3.. In the Networking tab, double click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
entry.
  4.. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click the
Advanced button.
  5.. In the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box (seen below) the General
tab contains the Use default gateway on remote network checkbox. The default
is to have this checked. If you want to use the default gateway assigned by
the ISP instead, remove the checkmark from the checkbox.

what is the client OS you are using and what is the OS of VPN server it's
trying to connect to.
