We have a problem where when users VPN into our network (SBS2K3
Premium), they cannot access the internet no matter what settings they use in the LAN Settings section of IE. They have also tried enabling the ISA firewall and disabling it, and in both cases, they cannot access the internet.

This has become an issue for a couple of our users as they have to
disconnect the VPN to access the internet, and then reconnect the VPN to get e-mail, etc.

Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed that will allow users to
VPN into our SBS server and allow them access to the internet at the same time?

TIA for all help!

This is by design. It's a security feature so that the remote client doesn't become a back-door to your network.


Why not have them use RWW instead of VPN, then they can do both.

Alternatively, you could install the firewall client, and then they would be able to surf "through" the VPN.
