Re: SBS 2003 RRAS VPN - print to local network

Right, but that's what it would entail to use LAN printer concurrent with a
RRAS VPN connection. Without it, the remote client route is to the default
gateway which is the VPN connection to the SBS server. Without a route back
to the remote LAN it won't get to the printer.

Split tunnel VPN. Yikes. There are some pretty good write ups on
this and you might find the explanation here acceptable.

If they are in an "office" other than a home office, you might want
to configure a site-to-site VPN rather than risk a split tunnel VPN.
