Help with setting up a VPN. Can connect but get no internet access

Thank you Rob that solved my problem.
However I have an additional PC from my home location which is windows 8 and I have never been able to establish a connection at all even though I have all the settings the same. I keep getting error code 720. Would you know anything about this?

A couple of thoughts:
-If trying to connect at the same time as the other machine it is possible the local router (client site) may not support multiple PPTP connections - very common
-Try resetting the TCP/IP stack on the problematic PC.  To do so from an elevated command prompt run  
     netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
or see:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
-It may be a protocol difference. .  Under properties of the VPN connection/virtual adapter, under Network and sharing / Change adapter settings,  slect the "Security" tab and set type of VPN to PPTP, assuming that is what it is, and make sure under "allow these protocols" that "Microsoft Chap version 2 (MS-Chap v2)" is selected

Thanks Rob resetting the TCP/IP Stack worked. I will mark you as the solution in both questions.

However I am back to the start where I am unable to access anything on the network.
I have tried ping'in multiple servers and only get a request timed out.
The internet does seem to be working although I am suspicious that the connection is coming through the WIFI just.
Also I have the 'use default gateway on remote network' unchecked.

Hi meteorelec.
I am not sure I understand the current problem. You are not able to establish a VPN connection now, but could be fore? Or you connect but cannot access resources?
Is this on the Win 7 or Win 8 machine?

Sorry if I was not clear before.
I am able to establish a VPN connection with all computers but I believe none of them can access the resources in the network. I am only able to test the PC that is not located at the work place as the others are currently connected to the network using ethernet cables.
When un-checking the 'use default gateway on remote network' this has allowed me to view webpages but still no access to any network devices or any other resource.
Hope this is more clear Rob

Usually when you can connect to a site using a VPN connection but cannot access resources it is because the local and remote subnets are the same, such as both sites using 192.168.0.x.  Might this be the case?  The sites must be different for routing to take place.

I am not sure how to check this but the remote IP address is being assigned automatically by the DCHP and the IP address of the server hosting the VPN is 100.0.1.237 subnet 255.255.0.0

Very unusual choice of IP's and subnets. 100.0.1.237  is a public IP rather than private and may cause problems, especially if  "Use default gateway on remote network" is checked, and 255.255.0.0 is a very large subnet.

Could you connect the VPN and then post the results from a command line of  both
ipconfig /all
and
route print

It is the work internal IP address I am not too sure on how everything was set up.
This is the results from the remote station connected to the VPN connection

It appears to me that the VPN traffic is being sent to your default gateway (Internet) rather than the VPN, and thus lost, this would be due to the subnet assigned in the routing table (255.0.0.0) and the fact that it is a public IP.  I may be wrong, but if not, I know of no way to fix this.  With the "use remote default gateway" checked you should be able to access the corporate LAN but not the local network or local printers.

Yea that is what I thought was happening. We had this all set up and working beforehand but our domain controller gave way recently and this is where the VPN connection was stored on so it should be able to set up on the new server.
I checked the 'use remote default gateway' option on the remote PC but this made me lose connection to the internet as well.

>>"I checked the 'use remote default gateway' option on the remote PC but this made me lose connection to the internet as well."
It will.  It blocks everything but a path to the corporate network.  However, in that state can you access server resources via the VPN?

No I cannot access anything in this state

Not even pinging the server by IP?

When I check the 'use remote default gateway' option on the pc that is not located in the same building I have no access to anything. No internet connection and cannot ping the server.
However if I check the 'use remote default gateway' option on the pc that I am currently on which is in the building and connected by ethernet to the network already I have no internet connection on the pc but I am able to use network resources and connect to the internet by remote desktop onto the server or different other network servers.
I would then assume that this is using my ethernet connection to do this?

The 'use remote default gateway'  option changes the routing table.
Basically the VPN is not working.
Out of curiosity, could you connect the VPN and then run:
tracert  100.0.1.237
and post the results, assuming 100.0.1.237 is the server's VPN IP.
Thanks.

This is being performed on the computer that is connected via ethernet on the companies network. I connected the VPN then ran this.

C:\Users\mhs>tracert 100.0.1.237

Trace complete.

Do you mean you are on the same LAN as the VPN server?
If so I am afraid that is of little help.  I was trying to determine when off site if the routing tries to go through the VPN tunnel or via the Internet and lost.

Yes I was sorry.
This is the results from the off site PC

This was my concern.   100.0.1.237 is a public IP so it is trying to access via the Internet and not through the VPN.
Was this with VPN connected and "use remote default gateway" checked?

What are the options around this then? Our previous VPN connection was on the internal ip address 100.0.1.236 and was working.
Yea the VPN was connected and 'use remote default gateway' was also checked.

Using public IP's on a LAN can be problematic, especially with a VPN, but at least with the "use default remote gateway" option checked, it should work.

The routing table is showing all 100.0.0.0/8 traffic should be forced through the VPN, but it does not seem to be happening based on your tracert
 100.0.0.0        255.0.0.0       100.0.2.12        100.0.2.9

Though that should work, perhaps try:
connect the VPN
verify the PPP/VPN IP of the client is still 100.0.2.9
add a route using:
route add  100.0.0.0  mask  255.255.0.0  100.0.2.9
          note the mask                      ^
Try pinging the server 10.0.1.237

You can remove the temporary route with
route delete  10.0.0.0
