RRAS Clients cannot ping, but server can?

I have a demand dial VPN which connects from a Win2K server to a remote
WinXP Pro machine.

The network for our office is 192.168.10.0/24
The network for the remote location is 192.168.12.0/24

I configured the demand dial connection as appropriate.
I added a static route onto our broadband router (with ip address
192.168.10.1) to forward access to the 192.168.12.0 network to 192.168.12.2
(the rras server).

If the demand dial connection is not connected & I ping a machine on the
remote network, such as 'ping workstation1' the demand dial connection is
triggered & the ping succeeds.

However, if I try this from a client machine the ping fails. The connection
is triggered, but the ping does not come back.
If I run a tracert to the remote machine from the client the packet goes to
our router which forwards the packet to our rras server. The packet then
just times out.

Any suggestions?
