Hi Jim,

On the LAN this client is on (before connecting the VPN), does it use the
same IP subnet that the SBS server uses for it's internal network? If so,
you'll need to change one of the two before this will work.
For example, if your client gets a 192.168.0.xxx address from its router
before connecting the VPN, and SBS also uses 192.168.0.xxx for it's internal
network, this will cause the problems you're experiencing.

If those are different, and you're still having this problem, could you walk
us through step by step how you attempt to access the resources, and what
(if any) error messages you get back along the way?

Thanks for posting!
