The internal interface is the endpoint for the VPN connection. It will
become active and acquire an IP when a client connects. So what you are
seeing is really a symptom that VPN is not working, not a cause.
If you are using private addresses behind a router, the VPN client must
initially connect to the router's public IP address. You then forward TCP
port 1723 (pptp) to the LAN IP of the RRAS server to extend the connection
to the server on the LAN.
But if you have a VPN capable router, why are you trying to connect to
the server at all? Just make a VPN connection to the router and use normal
LAN routing to see the LAN machines.
