Connecting to a SBS 2008 via VPN from remote location

I have a SBS 2008 server that is running and providing DHCP and is the DNS for the local network. I have 2 remote computers I need to join to the domain. I can connect to the VPN and authenticate the users, but I am not gettting a valid IP address assigned. I am getting a 169.254.X.Y address assigned which tells me the VPN server is not handing out the IP.. I think I am missing the setup of the VPN IP Pool, but where do I find that ?

set the DNS 1 on the remote router and the computer to the server IP

Run the Configure a virtual private network wizard:
SBS Console --> Network --> Connectivity --> CVPNW.

CCPIC, I don't understand your comment, it is a VPN connection on the remote computer that I am setting up.

MPEC, I had done that to no help..

What I did find is that the DHCP on the Server had assigned IP Addresses to the adapoters already and since they were assigned, when a new one requested an IP, it forced it to the 169.254.X.Y network. I resolved it (I think) by removing the assignments in DHCP. I will know for certain tomorrow.
