You are missing some form of Internet Proxy server. Microsoft has a Proxy Server as part of Microsofts “Back Office” suite. There are other proxy servers available, but I am only familiar with Microsofts. RAS is only meant to provide remote users access to your network, so there is no option I know of to provide remote users internet access aside from the instalation of a proxy server.
Good luck

The first answer is quite correct, I will only add that for miminal overhead, you should only use TCP/IP for DUN. Disable all other protocols in the RAS settings of both the clients and server. NetBIOS will be needed, however, if you plan on accessing your “local” network (the immediate network that your server is attached to).

Addendum to answer #2 – WinProxy 3.0 is an excellent, low cost proxy server that is so easy to use, my wife figured it out. find out more at http://www.winproxy.com
