Microsoft Server VPN to client XP prof via cisco 2900 switch connected to a 2620 router router on a stick

I have a Microsoft RASS VPN connected to a cisco 2900 switch connected to a cisco 2020 router that I wish to communicate to a XP prof client. The Server is XP proff or might change it to Server 2003. I'm sure of the setup of the Server and the client I think ,but I can't get communication. I have AD, DHCP and WINS setup on the network and the web connection is DSL. The Server is on a different subnet VPN than the client VPN. I am not trying to connect via the internet. I guess the setup is called a router on stick. Any help with my understanding or soultion would be great

Thanks

Okay I will need to look into how have how to have the router route the GRE protocal 47. We do not have ACL's set. We do not have communication between work station and server. Follows is our IP addressing scheme. I have a viso diagram of our setup but can't figure how to cut and paste it.

First the way I am understanding this, I have two NIC cards in the server and one is a public NIC that needs to connect to default gateway of the switch and on to the router gateway. The private NIC needs to be connected to the ethernet port of the switch and than is connected to the router ethernet port.
The client needs to be connected to etherent port of the default gateway of the switch and on to a ethernet port of the router.
To allow the VLAN's to talk to each other I created a trunk port (using dot.1q 1 protocal). I then gave the router a subinterface and IP address within each VLAN and subnet., and then pointed the hosts at the router as their default gateway. The hosts still would need to be connected to the switch on to the ethernet port of the router.

On the swtich I first created static VLAN's followed by assigning ports to the VLAN's . I than setup Inter-VLAN Communication via Router-on-a-Stick. The series of commands I used were closely followed via CCNA protable guide. What I configued does seem to be runnig. I not at the site of the network so I can't copy and paste the running config.

Here is how the NIC cards on the 2003 server are s/u for RASS VPN followed by the NIC card for the XP client on a different subnet and VPN
