TS2003 and IP assignment

I currently have a Windows2003 server that's also using Terminal Services. There are approx. 25 users that are setup and can correctly login and access TS through Remote Desktop (RDP). When each user logs in, if the assigned IP address for any user is checked using IPCONFIG, it returns the IP address of the server.

My question is, is it possible to setup TS so that each user is assigned a unique IP for that session, an IP that is not the same as the server, either through requesting an IP from DHCP on the router, or by using Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing (APIPA), or some other method?

No, as the server is generating the traffic via the RDP session.

You would need to create a VPN to give each client a unique IP address.

I actually do have a VPN on this LAN that I could do that with. Could you please provide more information about how to configure TS so that it uses this VPN feature for IP assignment?

Thanx for the response BFilmFan. BTW, hope that you and yours are safe in GA after Katrina.

Regards.
