Hi,

Is the built-in PPTP VPN in SBS 2003 supposed to be a host-to-host solution
or one which allows a client to all resources on the protected LAN. I am
able to access the SBS2003 server via the VPN, but I cannot connect to any
other hosts on the network.

Here is the result of ipconfig /all on the client with the VPN connected
(with domain information edited):

I can connect to the remote server in any manner I wish. I cannot get past
it, however, to other hosts. Is this the way it is supposed to be
(host-to-host) with no routing? I just assumed that the SBS VPN would allow
authenticated clients access into the whole network.

If it matters, the SBS server is Premium Edition WITHOUT ISA installed.

Thanks,

RS
