Well that looked like a great answer and I thank you very much but... After
changing Gateway_On_Remote=1 to Gateway_On_Remote=0 it still seems that I am
using the remote network as my gateway. To test I am doing a traceroute and
watching the hops. I have tried this on two machines. An XP Pro and a W2k
Pro. I have also verified this by connecting to an client/server app that we
have and the IP showing from the client is the IP of the VPN server. Now if
I use the VPN connection that I set up manually that is setup to not use the
remote gateway it does not use it. All internet traffic is from local
gateway (Broadband connect) running the same tests. So it seems that
something else needs to be changed locally? Any other suggestions? BTW I did
enable TCP/IP forwarding on the server as per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323339&Product=winsvr2003
but when setting up the static route locally seems to fail. The static IP
pool for the server is 10.0.0.3 -10.0.0.100 , IP 10.0.0.0 mask
255.255.255.128 so on the client I run

route -p add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.128 10.0.0.3

and I get

"The route addition failed: Either the interface index is wrong or the
gateway does not lie on the same network as the interface. Check the IP
Address Table for the machine."

Any additional help would be great!
