IP address for remote computer connecting to VPN on sbs 2008 server

I have a SBS 2008. The operating system had to be totally re-installed due to some hardware failure. I  previously had The VPN working. I have not changed anything on the router so it is still set up.  I went thru the wizard setting up the VPN on the Server from the server console. Now when I  connect to the Vpn I do get connected however even though it says I am connected it tells me I have no network access and it gives my remote pc a '169.' address instead of a '10.10.10.z' address that the server and workstations internally have, I do have the users on the workstation with VPN connection rights so I know that is not the issue. I'm just not sure where or what I do on the Server to get it to hand out the'10.10.10.x address to the connecting VPN remote pc. Thanks for your guidance !

I actually read these articles and then  ran the  'Fix it' wizard in the VPN and it actually fixed it and it does work now. I can connect to 2 of 3 pc's and get an error on one now. Working on that individual error now. Thanks for your help !

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
