You won't be able to ping the PC's within the SBS network since they are
firewalled and NAT'd. You'll need to VPN into the SBS network instead of
just VPN'ing into the Router's internal network (which is the SBS external
network). Hopefully your router will support VPN passthrough and can
forward port 1723 onto your SBS server's external NIC. On the SBS server
run the Configure Remote Access Wizard to setup VPN. Give your users
permission to VPN in and you should be good to go.
