Remote Access Kill Connections

I am using my Windows 2000 server for clients on the local LAN. The server has 2 NIC’s (NIC1 & NIC2)l.

I am trying to install VPN. I go through the Routing & Remote Access wizard, and select NIC2 as my connection to the internet. After I do this, I am able to gain access via VPN client. However, local clients can no longer connect, the server cannot see the internet or ping the router and the Default Gateway on NIC1 is lost.

If I disable Routing & Remote Access, everything is restoredto normal. Is there a way to have VPN without losing all of my other connectivity?
