WEIRD VPN Behavior

Ok...I've setup VPN servers many times, but recently I setup a VPN
server and am totally clueless as to why this is happening. This
only happens with my userid.

I login to the SBS R2 from outside...my internal IP is 172.20.1.0/24
and I also have a 10.1.4.0/24 network. The VPN server also has
routes to 10.1.4.0. This works fine for all users and they can reach
10.1.4.0 network.

But when "I" login the server gets a new route. For example, when I
run "netstat -rn" I see the route that used to be 10.1.4.0 pointing to
172.20.1.1 now points to my IP on the VPN server (maybe 10.1.4.0 now
points to 172.20.1.200 from the VPN DHCP pool). That's weird enough
by it's self, but the other thing that blows my mind is...why does
that only happen with my account and if I use any other user ID to
login the routes stays ok, pointing to 172.20.1.1 and all is fine. I
know my account has domain admin privs, but still....why does that
happen at all? If other users have admin privs will that happen to
them too?

This is just too weird...I can't even think of a good lie to explain
this weird behavior...it's just weird!
