Setup RRAS behind a linksys router...

I have a small office network setup with only one server and 7 workstations all 2K. The server is Windows 2k server with SP3 and it is also a DC with DNS, DHCP and WINS. I recently configured RRAS to have remote users connect to the network. I have the server with two nic cards.

NIC 1
IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.2
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
Gateway(linksys): 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.2

NIC2 (RRAS) 192.168.1.5
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
Gateway(Linksys): 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.2

When I enabled and configured RRAS on my DC, I chose to use the NIC2 for RRAS. Everything seem to enable and go fine.
I tested a few of my workstations inside the network and they were able to connect to the RRAS with no problem.

I have two problems. 1. My users inside the network lose all internet connection.

2. I cannot connect any remote users from outside of my network. It says that the server does not exist. I have never configured RRAS before and I only got as far as having the internal users connect to RRAS using a vpn connection. Once I disabled the RRAS then my internal users had access to everything again.

Please help!

I've solved problem 2 from my first posting. The only problem I have now is that my users inside the internal network lose all connection to each other and the gateway. When I run an "IPCONFIG /ALL" on the DC the original NIC loses the entry to the gateway. I'm assuming that this is part of the problem. So NIC 1 looks like this:

NIC 1

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.2
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: "EMPTY"
DNS: 192.168.1.2
