Thanks Mark, I will try your work round. You know that it cant be true though surely, I mean how is Admin suppose to have control over remote users personal IC hardware etc. I though the Domain DNS suffix stuff added to the PPP connection told the cleint who's authoritive.

Joe, I did look there, made sense but didnt specifically state "Local Access to entire domain" or something.

Nothing is ever that simple...

Do you know what the 2nd Order item is?? It sais ^311$ which is pretty meaningless to me....



311 is Microsoft's vendor code as used by Radius servers, and the two
symbols are start and end string anchors in regular expression matching.
Yes, you can deny access on that basis.

I thought your trouble was due to subnet numbering, that the SBS and
remote LAN were on the same subnet. Is that not now fixed? Failing to
ping the server successfully is almost always due to this.

Something you didn't mention is whether your VPN clients are using
domain registered computers and making domain logons. If they are, and
they are still having trouble then something is seriously wrong. If they
are not, then it is normal for VPN to offer reliable access only to the
SBS web services. Sharing files over VPN is a somewhat dubious practice
anyway. Far safer if they never leave the LAN, nor untrusted files enter
it.
