I currently insalled VPN on our working RAS server, which in turn caused RAS not to browse our Local network.
I've uninstalled VPN and have reloaded SP6 to no avail.
My next step is to uninstall and reload RAS unless someone can give me a better solution.
Could this be due to changing router from Pipline 130 to a Cisco?
Info: Clients still gets Local IP address.

We have noticed all sorts of connectivity issues concerning VPN and RAS when allowing trusts (A and B)in a mixed environment. Everything from browsing the network, internet acces, and false name resolutions. After removing the trusts, all of our connectivity issues (only with the RAS server) were gone.

Hope this helps.

You didn't say, but you should have installed another NIC to associate your RAS vpn to. The reason is that PPTP will not support many un-encrypted services. For instance, you cannot use normal ping to ping a RAS server that is configured for vpn use (Win NT 4). Perhaps this is what is causing the problem with your browsing etc... If you have not already done so, add a NIC and then set up an ip address for that nic, usng pptp etc... and see what happens...

I ran into a similar situation with our RAS Server, and when I installed netbeui (Spelling) on the clients, and ensured it was running on the servers, everything connected just fine. Additionally, having the user run local login scripts (just a batch file copied to theire desktop) they were able to map all the drives they needed.
