I think the cause of your problem is the nat (inside) 0 access-list 101, it's not really needed as the
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 covers all addresses. The nat (inside) 0 line is usually used for a no-nat access-list. So remove this line and try it.

PLEASE ignore my previous comment  I was not awake yet. Here is what you need to do
Do not use the same name for the no-nat access-list and the vpngroup access-list

                                                    inside lan             client IP
access-list remoteVPN permit ip 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.117.1.0 255.255.255.0
                                        inside lan              client IP
access-list no-nat permit ip 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.117.1.0 255.255.255.0

nat (inside) 0 access-list no-nat
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 for outbound traffic

Snoopy13, have you had your coffee yet today?
>vpngroup PPTP-VPDN-GROUP split-tunnel 101

Makes no sense whatsoever.
If you are using vpdn group, meaning Microsoft PPTP client, you have no capability to apply a split-tunnel. Split tunneling is only for Cisco IPSEC VPN client.

You must simply un-check the "use default gateway on remote network" in the PPTP VPN Client Networking/TCP/IP settings.
Then, you will lose connectivity to your remote network because your VPN clients are on a different subnet, so you will have to add a static route on the client PC, something like:

C:\>route add 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.240.100
                     Remote LAN                               MY VPN IP

The whole idea is that if a client connects to your network via VPN you don't want them to connect to anywhere else, especially the Internet because then they become an un-checked conduit between the Internet and your corporate LAN.

Just so i understand, aside from a static route on the client's workstation this can not be done?

What is the Cisco IPSEC VPN client? Is this just a matter of installing the Cisco VPN client on the workstation and using that as opposed to the MS VPN?

 

by: lrmoorePosted on 2004-09-21 at 12:56:40ID: 12116344

Yes. Because you are using a different subnet for your VPN client than your LAN, the client must either have a specific route entry for that subnet, or "use default gateway on remote network" checked
The Cisco VPN client is free for anyone that has a PIX. It is very simple to install and set up on the client, and takes a little extra config on your PIX. The VPN Wizard in the GUI makes it wicked simple.

Do i setup the VPN  using the Cisco VPN Client 3.x or Cisco VPN 3000 Client 2.6?

 

by: lrmoorePosted on 2004-09-21 at 13:25:07ID: 12116601

Don't use 2.x
4.6x is the most current version that is compatible with XP SP2
Else, use whatever 4.x is avialable to you.
3.x will work if that's all you can get your hands on.
