I have setup a VPN server on a Windows 2003 Server. I only have one network adapter that is connected to my router and then connected to the internet. I setup a client pc (Windows XP) to dial in to the VPN server. I have no problem connecting to the server. However I cannot see any other computers on the server side of the VPN connection. I try to ping another computer but will not see it. I can successfully connect to a share on the server but nothing else. Do I need a NAT or do I need to edit one of the hosts files on the client side? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"dial in" - Do you mean dial the Internet and attach?
"NAT" - If you are able to get in via an Internet dial up then you must either have a public address on the server already or you are already doing NAT.
The VPN should be creating an end point at your server. If you configure to give the VPN client a DHCP internal address then you should be able to PING as the client appears to be on the network. If not then the network systems must point to the 2003 server as a gateway to respond. You must also configure to give access to the server only or the entire network.

When I say dial-in I mean I am connected through my ISP and then connect to the VPN. I am giving the clients DHCP addresses. How do I give access to access the entire network?
