I setup a RAS server so that our users can dialinto the network but also want them to have Internet access through our gateway. The phone dials and the modem answers and logs me in but I can’t go any further. If I try to connect to a web page (for example) it says it is unable to locate the address. DNS probably but the remote workstation (all W2kpros) all receive a 255.255.255.255 submask rather than our 255.0.
Ras is set for DHCP and a check beside use remote gateway. All are qualifiedusers or they wouldn't be logged on.
How can I set our RAS to let our users use our Internet gateway?

This is kinda weird. You should have set the RAS to connect using internet. That way, your user uses internet to connect to your RAS server with VPN and at the same time, they can browse the internet.

BTW, if you are using ICS, I doubt that you could use the internet through RAS unless you have proxy server whereby you can direct your client IE to the proxy server.

Anyway, that's an interesting issue, I am going to try myself on my server.

We needed a dialup connection to the domain... not through the Internet... but I found I could not connect to the domain controller that had NAT on it... well not too well. There were a lot of hoops I had to go through. Our domain was small so I tried to connect through the main DC. A separate RAS server and all was well.
Thanks anyway
