Can not connect to SBS 2003 server via VPN

I am setting up a Windows 2003 SBS and would like to administer this server remotely.  I have allowed VPN access to the server and set permissions for the user account to be determined by the ras rules ( I have tried it with allow remote connection too and that did not work either).  

I seem to connect to the network via network conncetion to the network, but I can not ping the server once I am in past the router.

I've tried the program that is created by SBS that installs the VPN client on the remote computer, but I get an error 800.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Actually I came to the conculsion last week that I needed the second nic in the server so I installed that last Friday.

Now I am able to access the intranet web page remotely via the web and remotely manage my server that way.  I am still not able to use RAS.  When I run the wizard I get an error 800. SB connection manager does not work. I am emailing my isp to setup a host name for the server's IP address, so I hope that will resolve some problems.

One more thing....

First off thanks for the Points!!!!!

If you are using the server for E-mail you would do good to have your ISP add a reverse lookup entry for your server's WAN IP. This will help you when a SPAM weary server tries to do a reverse lookup on your IP and when it does not find one, reject your messages!!!!

Good Suggestion!

Also check this link to make sure your server is not an SMTP open relay.
